Sno from Child is NOT Sno from Monthly_Salary. You need a month (date) on Monthly_Salary or some other way of associating a month/year with a particular entry.

Insert the normal monthly record with Salary and Loan[Repayment] (as a positive number)

update Monthly_Salary ms
   set Commission = (select sum (nvl (itm.Commission, 0) * ch.Qty_Sold)
                       from Item_Details itm, Child ch, Master mst
                      where 1 = 1
                        and itm.Item_No = ch.Item_No
                        and ch.Sale_Sheet_No = ms.Sale_Sheet_No
                        and ms.Empno = mst.SalesMan_Empno
                        and to_char (mst.Date, 'YYYYMM') = '200503'),
       TotalSalary = Salary
                     + (select sum (nvl (itm.Commission, 0) * ch.Qty_Sold)
                          from Item_Details itm, Child ch, Master mst
                         where 1 = 1
                           and itm.Item_No = ch.Item_No
                           and ch.Sale_Sheet_No = ms.Sale_Sheet_No
                           and ms.Empno = mst.SalesMan_Empno
                           and to_char (mst.Date, 'YYYYMM') = '200503')
                     - loan
 where to_char (ms.Date, 'YYYYMM') = '200503'; -- you have to be able to select which Monthly_Salary entries are to be updated.

Give it a go and tell us the result.

Dear Dj Martin

It really worked with slight alteration.
Thank you very much.
I pray GOD will give you more knowledge to help your self and others.

--------------------------------------------

Summery of Solution:-
I have used the 1st half of your code for commission column.
Populate the total salary from (salary + Commission)

For date (i.e. month/year) I have create two separate columns in monthly salary.

--------------------------------------------

Detail of Solution:-
(Table Names are different, I have published them on OraFaq with change names for batter understanding.)

I have also attached complete fmb file (MonthlySalary.fmb) for everyones perusal.

Code for commission calculation of form.
begin;
select (sum (nvl (itm.PackComm, 0) * ch.sale)) into :MONTHLYSALARY.MONTHLYCOMM
from Pack itm, SaleSheetChd ch, SaleSheet mst
where 1 = 1
and itm.PackName = ch.PackName
and ch.SaleSheetNo = mst.SaleSheetNo
and :MONTHLYSALARY.Empno = mst.Empno
and to_char (mst.SaleDate, 'YYYY') = :MONTHLYSALARY.SALARYYEAR
and to_char (mst.SaleDate, 'MM') = :MONTHLYSALARY.SALARYMONTH ;
end;

Code For Total Salary
:MONTHLYSALARY.TOTALMONTHLYSALARY :=
(:MONTHLYSALARY.MONTHLYSALARY + nvl(:MONTHLYSALARY.MONTHLYCOMM,0));

For more see MonthlySalary.fmb.

I prefer to use a single date field and store either the first date of the month (prefer) or the last day of the month (messy). This way I can compare dates to dates. When working with a LARGE database you may have to have your indexes working to get the SQL to run in 'less than geological time' and doing date conversions can stop the query being able to use an index on the date field.

Dear Dj Martin

Thanks for your help, Advise and most of all your time once again.

In back of mind I was also feeling the same that two columns for months are not looking good according to software engineering techniques.

+ Now as you inform that date conversions are not advisable.

But this was all I can do to get things going with my limited capabilities of Oracle.

I will do it in my next prototype.

Love
Jawad

You can always save the 'date' field as either a 6 character or 6 digit number field. That is, '200505' or 200505. Then you can do greater than, less than, and monthly equals.

The problem is that if the organisation decides to introduce fortnightly or weekly pay cycles. But you can increase the length of the field and append 'pay number' to the year and month. For example, '200505A' or '2005051' or '20050501', and if numeric 2005051 or 20050501. That's where using the 'first' of the month gives you the 'first' pay of the month.

Alternatively, have a table called 'pay_cycle' comprising unique primary key using a sequence and pay date and even a 'type of pay' (monthly, weekly, etc). Then use the unique key in your payments table.
