Thanks for bringing this up. It's a good opportunity to learn the stocking
part of the application -- and especially people's 'natural' expectations
related to them.

Correct.

You don't, I suppose. However, I'm concluding then that you're not using
the process which is designed to enter stuff into warehouses: order ->
receive -> invoice.
In other words: shipping allows you to add to the different warehouses.
I see several options to the "stocking into nowhere" problem:
1. Fail to post invoices for which not all stocking items have been
received (possibly by presenting a screen to belatedly stock the items?)
2. Offer an option on the invoice to select a warehouse to stock into.
I see a few issues with option (2) though:
a. What to do if part of an invoice which was converted from an order *was*
stocked?
b. What to do if you want to stock one specific item of one order/invoice
into multiple warehouses? Will the customer see two invoice lines (note
that he/she won't see the warehouse)?
But before we go into the details of which changes to make, can we discuss
your process a bit, so I understand your use-case?
Thanks!
Bye,
Erik.
