probably be a good thing. e.g. a TextPad 'clip library' would be useful.

>An order goes out to a client, who then sends back one of the items

>as a returned order, rather than just a returned item. Currently the
>answer is "go fiddle with the database to roll it back". Yuck.

>We get orders in from suppliers, then need to store the products until
>all the items to send out to a particular client are ready. We use an
>in-house bar code system for this. How hard is something like that to
>integrate into ofbiz? How about when a client's order is ready,
>printout out a list of things to send? (This is pick/pack, right?)
>
>Continuing with this one... a lot of our orders are for single items,
>so instead of stocking all the items that arrive from the supplier and
>then pulling them back out again, a better algorithm would be to short
>circuit this and put all the single-items aside for immediate
>shipping.
