Hey Anil ! Thanks for your answer.
Here are some comments about my "researches" : - By default, OFBiz doens't reserve RENTAL_ORDER_ITEM and so cannot create a shipment with such an item. - I updated the OrderServices class to allow this reservation, and now it is working. - This solution is not perfect because now the inventory item is mark as delivered but in fact as it is a rental item, delivered is not a final state, the item will be taken back to the company. Also, maybe by updating the OrderServices class to allow reservation for RENTAL_ORDER_ITEM I broke some logic, I don't know. So, my next questions would be : - Does anybody use OFBiz to manage rental business, like renting DVDs ? And if so, which solution do they use ? - About the way OFBiz implements RENTAL_ORDER_ITEM, is there any reason to not allow inventory reservation for these items ? Thanks !
