How to do Return to Vendor when Order Id is not known

[ian tabangay]

Hi.
Im not sure if this case is a unique for our requirement or its a bad
practice all together.
I need to implement a Return To Vendor for food products that has expired.
Normally
when it reaches the shelves of the store, new batches would already mix up
with older
batches of the products so tracking the order id from which an item has
originated may
not be possible. For this case, how should I handle a Return To Vendor on
ofbiz?

Thanks.
Ian

You can't infer an information without data. I guesss the only way would be to use serialisation upstream.

PLU codes are unique to manufactures.
you can put this in the goods identifier, for suppliers Products.
you can also add a feature to the product of expire date, that is
entered when the shipment is received.
between the two you should be able to find the order.

just my 2 cents
