Issue Description

1. Happen when saving purchase formset in Supplier Admin page.

Reason

May cause by the multiple actions of calculating and saving the summary records that every time a purchase record is saved.

Possible Solution

1. Change signal to crontab

Drowback of this approach is:

1. Can't see the data change right after the user submit new data. Add a [Update Now] botton to manually update
2. Extra effort to setup crontab on server
3. Every time restart container may need to restart crontab service

2. Set the max_num to inline formset

This is a workaround, it reduces the times of database writing at the same request. So as to reduce the possibility of Broken pipe or connection timeout!

# apps/purchase/admin.py
class MaterialPurchaseInline(BaseTransactionInline):
    model = MaterialPurchase
    form = MaterialPurchaseInlineForm
    max_num = 10 # <---- also set to BaseTransactionInline

Action Plan

1. Exame my Hypothesis: Stop the signals submit a 30 records formset, see if error accore.

• If yes:
  1. Write another view linked to a botton to manually update the record
  2. Create a crontab
• If Not:
  1. Seek other solution
