I have a inventory system design in which I would like some help with to
see if it's efficient. The products are broken into:
Product tables
Property tables
Configurable Products - this would include colors (i.e. - black, blue
and green) tied to products
I'm thinking of breaking inventory into 2 tables.
Product Inventory
Inventory Adjustment
Should I include the fk of the Configurable Product in the above tables
or break it out further into more tables?
Product Inventory
Inventory Adjustment
--plus--
Product Property Inventory
Inventory Property Adjustment
Thanks for any input,
J
These are my Product tables:
