When something is sold from a POS, the stock must be reduced, so we have a goods issue. I think so far we agree. In a typical POS scenario the customer walks away with what he has bought, so there is no need for a delivery - or shipment. In some special cases the goods might de delivered as a service - from the grocery to the customer, the pizza delivery service, or some TV or microwaves, which are too heavy to carry, or because the customer has no car to transport. These are service deliveries to a customer near by, so there is no need to trigger a complex shipment scenario. My point is to keep the goods movement at sale and just add address information, instead of starting a shipment process. Thats the point of discussion.
