[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-481?page=comments#action_12451664 ] Chris Howe commented on OFBIZ-481: ----------------------------------
Just to toss my two bits in as well, 1) While it's great for OFBiz to template what the invoice should be based on the shipment, the invoice needs to be recorded in the manner that it is received from the supplier and then any notes or credit memos associated afterwards to made. 2) If someone is actively working on a return order implementation, I'd like to suggest that they use the order group instead of the return order group and simply create a different orderTypeId. 3) David W, while it may be irrelevant to this topic, it's very relevant to general business practices. I would suggest that a company treats what it buys entirely separately from it sells. That means that your product Id has absolutely nothing to do with your supplier's product Id. Even better would be that Product.productId have no real world meaning whatsoever instead using aliases for Product.productId that your customers would purchase from. This is a much larger strategy conversation that might do well in the mailing list and end up with some sort of best practices documentation if you're interested. > Over issuance on PO fails > ------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-481 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-481 > Project: OFBiz (The Open for Business Project) > Issue Type: Bug > Components: accounting > Reporter: Iain Fogg > Attachments: InvoiceServices.patch > > > If you issue more items on a Purchase Order than was ordered (or remains to > be billed), an execption is generated when trying to generate the invoice. > The patch attached does 2 things (a) it tests for over-issuance on a purchase > order, and (b) it asserts that if we issued more items than we ordered, then > it means we are in a over-supply situation with our supplier. It seems that > the correct course should be to invoice for the actual amount of items > received, and offline address the over-supply with the supplier. There are > many possibilities at this point, but if OFBiz has recorded that we have the > items in inventory and that we've been invoiced for them, then that seems > like a good place to start from. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
