Had an interesting talk today related to a standard Jewelry store practice (and for other b&m retailers). What they will do is put the product out on display in the retail store facility and have the packaging (typically the box) for the product filed in a location in the warehouse in the back. When a customer makes a purchase the sales rep will go to the backroom and find the packaging.
It is our standard to put the inventory item in a facility in a specific location -- so in this scenario in a "retail store" facility in some location; perhaps something that represents the "front display unit". What we do not have a spot in the model (it appears) is where is the packaging -- likely a different location, but still related to the product. Since it is not really two inventory items; it is just one that has been split; is there a recommendation of how to model this in Ofbiz. What we would have the system to is during the sales order entry process we would provide the location coordinates to the sales rep so they can easily find the packaging in the backroom. Similar use case would be a store like "costco" where they would actually put the packaging on the retail floor and the actual product would reside in a "safe location" that would only be retrieved as part of fulfillment. Has anyone done anything like this or could anyone recommend an approach? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Splitting-product-packaging-and-physical-product-tp24874481p24874481.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
