Valid Item Status for partial shipment

[Shikha Jaiswal]

Hello team,

From the business point of view, please share what should be the exact
status of an item after approval, if it is being shipped partially.

Suppose an order item is of 3 qty and all three are split down into
separate ship groups and shipped one by one, what should be the ideal
status on each following instances, as we maintain item status on OrderItem
level only, not specific to OISGA:

- One item is shipped, two are pending.
-- IMO, it should be Approved as there are still pending items, please
confirm.

- Two items are shipped, one is pending.
-- IMO, it should be Approved as there are still pending items, please
confirm.

- Two items are shipped, one is canceled.
-- IMO, it should be Completed as it is shipped or canceled, please confirm.

OR

- All three items are shipped
-- IMO, it should be Completed as all items are shipped.

Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Hello Shikha,

I hope you are doing well in this pandemic situation!

It seems unclear to me what is working wrong in the system, could you
please throw some more light on it :)

Please see my comments below:

Yes, Currently it is Approved but sometimes it's confusing that
partial quantity of the item has been shipped and item status is still
Approved. IMO we should do some brainstorming here and improve it.


> - Two items are shipped, one is pending.
> -- IMO, it should be Approved as there are still pending items, please

Same as above elaborated.

Yes, item status should be Completed. If one qty is canceled then system
should set OrderItem.cancelQuantity to 1 and item status should be
Completed.

- All three items are shipped
> -- IMO, it should be Completed as all items are shipped.

Yes, item status should be Completed.

 AFAIR, there are some systems that use 'Partially Fulfilled' as item
status in case of partial shipment of the item. Please let me know your
thoughts.

Hello Shikha,

The statuses mentioned by you in all the scenarios seem correct to me and
AFAIK it works in the same way in OFBiz. We can definitely improve it by
adding a 'Partially Complete/Partially Fulfilled' status to an order item
as mentioned by Pawan.

Thanks & Regards

Yes.

Adding up to this, in fact, OrderReadHelper.*getItemShippedQuantity*
handles *cancelQuantity* effectively. So we can efficiently get desired
results using these methods.

HTH.
