The intention of a ProductStore is to represent a set of options that
represent a way to sell products to a customer. The decision to put
this field on the ProductStore is based on the fact that generally a
physical store and an online store will have rather different
settings, including: fulfillment/shipping options, payment options,
products for sale, how inventory is managed, and so on.
So yes, if you have one online store and one physical store you would
have two ProductStore records.

Hi
Would it be workable to move the "is immediately fulfilled" field. It
does not seem like the data model matches business reality for
businesses that combine delivery/mail-order and direct sales from the
same facility. For example, consider a furniture store.
One idea is to track fulfillment in the POS system where it could
immediately record if each item purchased was fulfilled. That might be
even better, as it supports the case where someone buys and pays for a
number of items, some of which they carry home, and others which they
will receive at a later date.
Or, perhaps it would be better to move the field to somewhere in the
sales channel definition?
Thanks

The problematic setting is "is immediately fulfilled": if it is
set to
Y, then no reservations will be done.

I have a ProductStore with a Facility configured as a Retail
Store. Some
of the relevant Store parameters are:
Is Immediately Fulfilled: YES
One Inventory Facility: YES
Check Inventory: YES
Reserve Inventory: YES
Require Inventory: YES
When I make sales through the POS application, all seems to work
fine,
however, when I make sales through the Order Manager, I keep
getting an
error when I try to Quick Ship an order. If I raise a sales order
for a
product, approve it, and then try to quick ship it I get an error
saying:
Warning: no shipments created; could not find anything ready and
needing
to be shipped.
It looks like there is no record being created in
orderItemInventoryRes,
and consequently the Quick Ship service doesn't find anything.
Anyone
know what param to tweak to fix this (I've fiddled with most of
'em :-(
It is appropriate to configure a single store/facility to use
both as a
POS retail store AND to fulfill other orders such as phone
orders, or
special orders (customer walks into the store and asks for
something not
in stock)? Should I have multiple stores to model the different
sales
channels?
I appreciate any tips - this is quite frustrating because I
thought I
had this stuff worked out (and I open my store in about 3 weeks
time :-)
Cheers, Iain
