Multiple POs in ONE shipment and on ONE Invoice

[masionas]

Hi guys,

Very often supplier combines inventory from different POs in one shipment and sends it in one box. In Ofbiz, Shipment entity has a primary key as shipmentId and to indicate order it has primaryOrderId. However this design allows only one order per one shipment. Did anyone do some workarounds to have it working for multiple orders per one shipment? I can extend the Shipment entity primary key def to be a composite key with (shipmentId, primaryOrderId). But would like first to ask if there is something native supports my case.

With an invoice I do not see much problem as it is not tied explicitly to orderId, so I can put there items from different orders.


Thanks.

This is already supported in OFBiz.  Go to Facility --> Shipment --> Order
Items screen.  It is possible to add multiple orders to a shipment from this
screen.  The primaryOrderId indicates the order for which shipment was
created actually from Order Detail screen, but it doesn't restrict you from
adding more orders to a shipment.

Hi masionas

Ofbiz offers the functionality for multiple orders against one shipment. After shipment is created, it automatically assigns the shipment id and there is an 'order items' tab through which you can select as many as order ids, to add its items into shipment

Hi Guys,

I appreciate your replies. I seem can;t find Order Items Tab on shipment. I created shipment here
https://demo.ofbiz.org/facility/control/createShipment
But the only buttons it shows on top is "View" and "Edit" and "Generate Shipment Manifest Report"

What I am missing?

Nevermind, I figured it out how to get to Order Items. Thanks

Hi,

One more question. When Purchase Shipment is turned to PURCH_SHIP_RECEIVED status it triggers the invoice creation per each PO order in a shipment. But in my flow I need to put MULTIPLE orders on ONE invoice as I have them in one shipment. Is there any quick/easy workaround/config before I start to modify createInvoicesFromShipment service? Thank you, for the your help.
