I have a Form A and i keep Product SKU and my stock inventory in this form.  I also have form B and this form is used for production order to the tecnicians. In this form i have several repeater fields and all repeater fields has SKU (as lookup field and auto populated from Form A's SKU column) and quantity fields (number field) inside. I want to reduce the stock quantity in form A regarding to the quantity in form B on submit.  Could you please advise?

Thank you dear Rob.. Actually i have already take a look on the knowledgebase.. The issues i have with this code are:   
1) I need to check my SKU field to match the products when updating from form A to Form B... But in the example it's checking the user id instead of product SKU..  
2) In this example it addresses two specific fields to get data from form A and write data to form B. Since i have several repeaters in form A how can i address each repeater sections SKU field and stock quantity fileds?    

SAMPLE CODE

add_action('frm_after_create_entry', 'link_fields', 30, 2); add_action('frm_after_update_entry', 'link_fields', 10, 2);
function link_fields($entry_id, $form_id){
if($form_id == 113){//Change 113 to the ID of the first form
global $wpdb;
$first_field = $_POST['item_meta'][25]; //change 25 to the ID of the field in your first form
$user = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare("SELECT user_id FROM ". $wpdb->prefix ."frm_items WHERE id=%d", $entry_id));
$entry_ids = $wpdb->get_col("Select id from ". $wpdb->prefix ."frm_items where form_id='112' and user_id=". $user);//Change 112 to the ID of the second form
foreach ($entry_ids as $e)
$wpdb->update( $wpdb->prefix .'frm_item_metas', array('meta_value' => $first_field), array('item_id' => $e, 'field_id' => '6422'));//Change 6422 to the ID of the field to be updated automatically in your second form
}
}

The sample code is meant as a starting point. You can put whatever code you want in the hooks. From the sound of it, you're not well-versed in customizing PHP code. I suggest you reach out to a developer for help. Otherwise, you can look at all the PHP examples and use trial and error to find out what you need. The one hint I'll offer is that repeater sections are their own "embedded" forms whose entries are linked back to the main form's entry.

I am sure it shouldn't be that hard to get a product SKU number and Quantity value in form A and decrease this amount of quantity of the same SKU in form B. Any one who can help me in this topic?
