One problem I encountered was the inability to re-run a production run.
One silly scenario I can think of is this. Say I finished production run
to build a PC001 for a customer. Then someone stole the PC from my
warehouse. How would I know how to reproduce the PC001 to replace the
stolen one?
Yes, the copy of a production run is not currently implemented (but it
should be a rather easy task, let's say 0.5 to 1 day of work, for a
developer with a good knowledge of OFBiz).
The main reason is that, usually (for non pc - type products) the
production run is quickly created from the bom and the routing (that
both represents the 'template' for the production run).
For pc-like products, the initial plan was to store the configuration
(there is already the entity for this) and then use it in the system to
do various tasks, such as:
- statistics of top sold configurations
- pre-configured items proposed to the customers
- creation of new production runs based on the configuration id (this is
what you would need here)
- planning
- bom explosions
- and, most of all, by storing the configuration there will be no need
to immediately create the production run when the order is created as is
now (having a more flexible system).
