Forcefully completing the packing

[Vikas Mayur-3]

Hi,

I placed an order for 10 items, of product WG-5569. All the items were  
back ordered. Now when I try to pack this order, I got the following  
warning.

> The Following Errors Occurred:
> Attempt to pack order failed.
> Packed amount does not match reserved amount for item (WG-5569)  
> [10 / 0.000000]

Now onwards the Complete button on Pack Order screen changes to Force  
Complete. This is fine till now.

When I click Force Complete, the order is packed and a shipment is  
created with items being issued.

Inventory item was not available to actually pack this order and which  
is then forcefully packed just for updating the records in the system.

Is there any way in OFBiz to keep track of such orders (or shipments)  
which are packed actually later on when inventory is available?

What I need to do is to hold such shipments until these orders are  
actually packed.

So why do you want to force a shipment if you don't have the product?
you get a back order notice that is in the communications.

in our solution, you have a back order tracking system. part of it is to
notify when a particular order is complete and ready for Shipment.
then when you go to the shipment page, you can ship normally.
No need for force shipment.

I do not want to force shipment but I want to understand this feature  
in OFBiz.

Do you think this is the right way to see the back order in the  
system, I think No.

I can use hasBackOrders flag on find order screen to find out all the  
back order in the system but orders will show up only before doing a  
forcefully packing.

I am not sure if I understand it correctly. I will look around the  
code to see what exactly you are referring to as a back order tracking  
system.

I guess BJ spoke about a specific functionnality he has in his system based on OFBiz

just to clarify my overall view point, I am into automation. the less
button to push the more efficient the operation.
so having a task generated and letting the system notify of changes is
more my style, though not everyones.
for those that want to push buttons, then the report you mention is the
way to go.

The back order system i mentions is and extension of what ofbiz already
does and is not in the SVN. it is something developed outside of ofbiz
community and still has to have the development cost covered before
releasing it.
I mentioned it because of it being a solution.
:D
sorry for the confusion.
