What is the better way to reserve inventory for the item?

[Rahul Vangari]

Hi,

I am using the Ofbiz OOB functionality.

  * I have created a sales order and I have inventory for the goods in
    my facility. However, when I go to packing, I get message that there
    is nothing ready for packing.
  * I manually call the reserveOrderItemInventory service to reserve the
    required items on the order.
  * Then when I go to packing, I am able to successfully pack the items
    and create the shipment.
  * My question is that instead of manually calling the
    reserveOrderItemInventory - what is the better way to reserve
    inventory for the item or what steps do I have to carry out in the
    applicationso that I can successfully use the packing transaction?

Hello Rahul,

I have tested the workflow on trunk and it is working fine for me. Can you
share the details of the OFBiz version which you are using?

Are you trying with OFBiz demo data or any custom data?

Thanks and Regards

Hello Pritam,

The version which I'm using is 16.11.05 and yes I'm using the custom
data(not the demo data).

Hi Rahul,

Which version of OFBiz (release/branch) are you using? Recently there have
been some developments that may impact the answer.

Best regards,

Hi Rahul,
Please review your ProductStore setup, especially
ProductStore.reserveInventory and ProductStore.reserveOrderEnumId fields
values.
For auto invoking the reservation the reserveInventory flag should be Y.
The reserveOrderEnumId decides the reservation algorithm. Business Setup
Guide at [1] would be helpful to understand it better.

Also you may like to check the other product store inventory related flags
and options. As far as your current problem reserveInventory flag should
work for you.

Hello,

So, here again I have a situation where I'm not able to do packing on order creation directly. Currently I'm using the below mentioned scenario to reserve the inventory. I just want to know what am I missing in the Product Store setting or am I missing something else?

I have attached the ProductStoreSetting configuration screenshot.

My current ofbiz version is 13.07 .

Hi Rahul,
I think ProductStore entity reserveInventory and requireInventory fields
are correct. Please check requireInventory flag on Product entity as well.
