The proble with this design is that we can not allow to add to a shipment a line that is already linked to an other shipment. Also with this way, you can not see what you are expecting as delivery because every lines will be linked to a shipment. More over, creating the shipment is a good way to verify the quantities delivered (best practice). -- 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/
