Looking over the advanced part search report and page logic. We are wanting to speed that report up. It's thousands of lines long. I was going through it and boiling it down to simple lines of text to explain what we were doing on the project. Steve wanted me to look into it. I got about 3/4 of the way done and then got pulled off on other projects.

Eric jumped on and wanted some help with an aggregated sales tax project that he is looking into. I was doing a lot of drawings and explaining both current functionality and where we are hoping that it will go. We are trying to fill in the gap between transactional systems and fully aggregated systems (quick sums, counts, averages, totals, and speedy consolidated numbers and values). Eventually, we are headed towards more business intelligence (BI) type models. Everything seems to be leading towards that direction.
