---------------------------------
Fix Version/s: Upcoming Branch
> Promising against Future Supply of Inventory
> --------------------------------------------

> Key: OFBIZ-12053
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-12053
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: order
> Reporter: Swapnil Shah
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: Upcoming Branch
>
>
> *Requirement Elicitation:*
> Promising delivery of any product or SKU to a customer out of On Hand
> inventory against any firm or forecasted demand arising either in the form of
> Sales Order or Production Runs(Jobs) in the system has been now been a
> established practice and well supported to a great extent within Ofbiz.
> However, there is a strong need felt to have a solution that can address the
> problem in making promises to customer for any product or SKU out of any
> future or expected supply of inventory through inbound shipments from vendors
> or suppliers. There may be different natures of demand for which such kind of
> solution capability can serve well like:
> * Demand from orders or jobs which couldn't get any commitment out of on
> hand inventory and thus are often termed as Backordered (BO)
> * Demand from Advanced or Pre-booked orders while launching new product line
> as inventory is yet to arrive at fulfilment locations
> * Demand from booked orders against limited edition version of existing
> product line as inventory is yet to arrive at fulfilment locations
> * Demand from sample lines booked during pre-launch event
> * and so on...
> While attempting to promise customer from future supply for a product/SKU
> then from solutioning stand point, anything that can try to address the
> following questions should be a good start to begin with:
> * How to promise (i.e., what should be the rules or constraints or basis for
> promising order)
> * How much to promise (i.e. how many units out of ordered units need to be
> promised for any given order)
> * How much is Available to Promise (i.e. how many promisable units available
> from different sources or inbound shipments for a given product/SKU)
> * Where to Promise from (i.e. from which source or inbound shipment the
> order can be promised)
> * When to promise (i.e. on what date a given order can be promised)
> Let's use this space to add on to it with more such real time use scenarios
> or questions that needs the right answer.
> We could try writing the design to solve for it in a separate linked ticket
>
