facility priority for fulfillment

[Vince Clark]

I think there was a thread about this recently but I cannot find it.

Is there a way to prioritize the order in which items are fulfilled or create rules based on items, customers, orders, etc? The closest thing I have found that looks promising is facility groups. Each facility in the group can have a sequence. Not sure if this is intended to be used as some sort of prioritization for fulfillment.

Building this out is something that has not been attempted yet. There  
are many different ways and metrics that organizations use to choose  
things like this. The recommendation for now is to replace the service  
with a custom implementation to handle specific requirements.

Over time hopefully people will contribute a wide variety of these and  
we can either start to build a library of them, and/or start to  
combine them and make a single configurable (data driven) service.

The stuff implemented right now for multiple facilities is very  
simplistic and chances are it would only cover the needs of a small  
part of the organizations that might use OFBiz.

Thanks David. Exactly what I needed to know. I'm sure I can find it, but do you know off hand the name of the service we need to customize?

Hi Vince,

have a look at the services implemented in  
InventoryReserveServices.xml (in the product component).
