yes, the code should already be in the trunk

Hi all,

I would like to add support for the status for non serialized
inventory items (right now the status is used only for serialized
items).
The idea is to add a new status item for "Damaged" inventory (and
maybe "On Hold" for inventory under inspection); the inventory
items with this status will be excluded by the inventory counting
algorithm and also by the inventory reservation service.
The main goal is to add the ability to keep into the warehouse non
serialized inventory items but don't use them in orders etc... (at
least until they are fixed), but don't just remove them from the
system (as it happens when you do a manual inventory variance).

What do you think? Can I go on with this?

It's an interesting idea. Right now all damaged/held/etc inventory
is treated per unit, ie as serialized inventory. When returns are
received each item is evaluated individually and tracked that way.

If I understand where you are coming from, this becomes a problem
when you receive 1000 damaged widgets and would have to create a
record for each one.

Yes, this is the exactly the scenario I have in mind.

in an inventory item could be damaged and I schedule an inspection...

orders; so I change the status to "On Hold" until the inspection is
done.

Thanks,

Jacopo

And maybe another one could be this: I have the suspect that the items in the meantime I want to make sure the items are not reserved for new

With that in mind, perhaps this might be a good way to make the
management easier without any data structure change, though there
could be a number of code changes needed.
