If I am in the jewelry business and create fancy rings I may PO from
suppliers a bag of gold and a bag of diamonds.  My thinking was that these
are Raw Materials.  My customer would come in and custom order a ring of
which I would create an "AGGREGATED" product that would include some of the
gold and some of the diamonds.  (Since it is just made of Raw Materials I
suppose it could be creating a "FINISHED_GOOD" instead -- would you consider
this more correct)?

At any rate, my line of thinking was that my business may buy that bag of
gold via a Purchase Order and upon receiving it we may decide to return it
if say I got 10kt and I wanted 18kt gold.  The way Ofbiz was setup, it was
not possible to return a Raw Material.

Am I using Raw Materials incorrectly here?  I would have thought that they
had to be supplied in some manner and as a result should be returnable.
