I don't say it is not doable and that nobody works like that but I think such way of working is not efficient. The basis of the Tryton Model is that an item of product A is equal to an other item of the same product. If it is not the case than it should not be the same product (perhaps variance). That say, you could have some kind of picking rules like FIFO (useful for perishable products), those rules could be implemented in the system for example with location order or (and I think it is the best) with warehouse organisation rules (ordering the placement of products or "take the older product"). -- Cédric Krier B2CK SPRL Rue de Rotterdam, 4 4000 Liège Belgium Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Email/Jabber: [email protected] Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
