shipments made for out of stock items

Dave Tenerowicz
It appears that shipments are being created with out of stock items in
an implementation we are doing. I am guessing this is due to product
store settings, not a code issue.
rev =  545314
check inventory=Y
reserve inventory=Y
require inventory=N

All products are finished goods (no digital or virtual)

Thanks for any help.

Re: shipments made for out of stock items

BJ Freeman
believe the logic is, if you don't require inventory, there is not check
 of or reserve of.
require inventory is mutually exclusive from require inventory.
see
isStoreInventoryRequiredAndAvailable
there is also
 isStoreInventoryAvailable

What do you mean by "being created"?

There isn't really anything that automatically creates shipments,  
unless a human does it through some UI like the shipment or packing  
screens (or a service or something was written to automatically do it  
somehow).

Yes, I should have mentioned that we created a new service to
automatically create shipments. It calls quickShipOrder as part of it's
processing.

Thanks BJ.
However, I'm not sure this is the case. With the settings below, it
appears that reservation occurs - I see ATP values decrease as orders
are created.

In reply to this post by Dave Tenerowicz
I was taking this from code.
reservations is not connected to inventory directly
take a look at facility_service.xml
reserveProductInventory
If requireInventory is Y the quantity not reserved is returned, if N
then a negative
            availableToPromise will be used to track quantity ordered
beyond what is in stock.

Re: shipments made for out of stock items

Dave Tenerowicz
In reply to this post by Dave Tenerowicz
The more I think about this, it seems inappropriate for an ERP system to
allow this. Why would the quick ship service allow a user to charge a
customers credit card  and "ship" a physical product that the system
"knew" was not available?

Before charging the card, the sales person would want to confirm that
the goods were actually available. Once this was confirmed, it would
take a facility worker 30 seconds to adjust the inventory, leaving an
audit trail etc.

To me this seems like a JIRA issue, which should be fixed.

I'll submit the issue and we'll submit a fix.

RE: shipments made for out of stock items

SkipDever
Dave

I agree that this is a big hole/bug.  On the other hand, there are folks who
don't mind/prefer the sloppiness (I have a customer just like that).  So,
perhaps we could use a property to define the behavior, like:

ilikesloppybookkeeping=true/false  (tongue in cheek)

However, I would be happy to collaborate to get this done.  I want
requirements and automatic backorders issued for out of stock etc for quick
ship.  I was just about to start work on this.  We could modify the existing
service to look for a property and if it exists, do the better bookkeeping /
automatic ordering.

This is a hole for me because if my customer has a customer at the counter
and is selling him some stuff and part of it is on back order, he has to
exit out of the sales order screen and go to the shipping screen to get it
all done right.  It's a pain and will happen 10 times a day for him.  Fixing
the quickship will take care of it.

Maybe with the configurable property, the muckity-mucks won't be so
reluctant to accept it.

Skip have you consider the sequence for a dropshipper, and some
fulfillment houses.
you don't have their inventory.

Re: shipments made for out of stock items

David E Jones
In reply to this post by SkipDever

Wow, in a friendly mood today aren't we?

Don't be so quick to judge people.

Keep in mind that OFBiz supports companies that don't track inventory  
in OFBiz, and currently most companies don't do book keeping in OFBiz.

It doesn't mean it's sloppy or bad or from malicious intent or that  
the people who want to do things this way are incompetent, or that  
the analysts who designed it or developers who created it are  
incompetent.

OFBiz is a collaborative community working together to create a  
system that can be used (hopefully without too much customization) in  
a wide variety of businesses and a wide variety of requirements for  
interactions with other systems and such.

Please try not to undermine that. It is the foundation of this  
effort. If you want something done about this, please frame it in  
that light.

No, I have considered only my own needs.  However, a property which

Skip have you consider the sequence for a dropshipper, and some

Re: shipments made for out of stock items

BJ Freeman
if the inventory supplier is a dropshipper would be the consideration.
since you can have many suppliers for a product, you could have a
supplier you order from for your local supplier and a drop shipper as well.
this would come under a scenario of determining best cost and delivery
of the product which is part of ERP.

So I don't think a simple flag is the answer.

Re: shipments made for out of stock items

David E Jones

I'm not sure I totally understand what you're looking at BJ...

This may very well make sense as a configuration flag, either for a  
ProductStore or for a Facility, so specify whether or not shipping  
without inventory in stock is allowed.

The Quick Ship Entire Order service would be affected by this, as  
would certain other things. The best place to implement it is  
probably in the issue order item to shipment service (the one that  
creates the ItemIssuance records). That's what actually takes thing  
out of stock (ie does the stock out).

RE: shipments made for out of stock items

SkipDever
In reply to this post by David E Jones
David

My apologies.  I read this comment "It will most likely be rejected." and
was not amused.  I personally should always refrain from responding to these
and will endeavor to do so in the future.

It is obvious to me that most people who currently use Ofbiz like it the way
it is or it would have long since been changed.  However, as the user base
grows, so will the needs.  Rejecting an idea out of hand and discouraging
people from contributing seems counter-productive just because it is the way
most people do it.

In this case, if you use properties to control behavior, it doesn't have to
be either/or. I've spent three or four months now learning Ofbiz and a month
writing code for it.  I have contracts now for three years of work based on
it.  What I write will not be suitable for everyone, but it will be useful
to many.  I can take the time and write it so that it is easily customizable
by the devs who listen here or just bang it out for the current customer and
not bother offering it up.

I would perfer to contribute my work back to the community.  I feel a strong
obligation to do so.  However, when I read comments like the above I start
asking myself, "whats the point of doing the extra work when it will not be
accepted?".  Some will say that it can still be found in Jira, but unless
you monitor the Jira religiously, trying to find unaccepted contributions is
painful.

In my view, you could have encourages contributions by saying "If it has
wide appeal and does not break existing users, we can consider it" instead
of "It will most likely be rejected".

Just my opinionated jerk self 2 cents.

Wow, in a friendly mood today aren't we?

Don't be so quick to judge people.

Keep in mind that OFBiz supports companies that don't track inventory
in OFBiz, and currently most companies don't do book keeping in OFBiz.

It doesn't mean it's sloppy or bad or from malicious intent or that
the people who want to do things this way are incompetent, or that
the analysts who designed it or developers who created it are
incompetent.

OFBiz is a collaborative community working together to create a
system that can be used (hopefully without too much customization) in
a wide variety of businesses and a wide variety of requirements for
interactions with other systems and such.

Please try not to undermine that. It is the foundation of this
effort. If you want something done about this, please frame it in
that light.

Submit the Jira issue anyway and get anyone interested in it to vote on it.

Re: shipments made for out of stock items

BJ Freeman
In reply to this post by David E Jones
Ok lets take it from the item issuance.
here is the scenario.
one product
two suppliers
one used to refill local stock
one one to dropship.

so you may have local stock or it may be ordered from the supplier that
refills local stock.
and under certain circumstances the dropshipper is used.

now you may check inventory which means look at any orders pending
and on determining that the delivery date is beyond the ship date to the
customer may opt to send the order to the Dropshipper.

so putting in parms like use local inventory if with in so many days of
shipping date to customer
or if available use dropship under any circumstance to satisfy back orders.

Not sure if this goes with the product or inventory in a facility
I was thinking of having a place in the product to assign a service that
would best suit the configuration for a client.

this would allow many scenarios with out really changing the programming
of ofbiz.
