BAQ's and dashboards will only give you informational data in V8. If you want it to automatically Update the next order release - a BPM would probably be best. If you post a call on Epicor's website (sometimes I have better luck posting the call on their website instead of calling the 800#) you might get lucky and this be a simple enough request for one of their customization people that they would help you write it. (They've done that for me before, it worked, and I learned a few things from a good tech support person who knew how to use their software)

I think you can do subreports (but I wasn't successfull with that) or you could just tie the BAQ's together for your calculation.

Basically, if we happen to have shipped more parts on an order release I want to apply the difference to the "Open Qty" calculated field on the next release. If I could do it in the Dashboard it might save me a lot of time in creating some customization...
