Hi Hans, I have read the threads and the blog posts, and considering the requirements:
* the need to maintain (serialized) inventory items and ship/receive them * the need to depreciate the items as assets I am wondering if you have considered the design of: * using product/inventory items (mostly) as in standard OFBiz (add to cart products then reserve,pick,ship inventory items then return product/item) * using fixed assets only for the depreciation Without looking at the details (and I guess I may be missing some of them) this seems to me a simpler approach that would have caused a smaller impact in the existing code.
