Hi, Facility managers manage goods quantities in two ways (I will do the mapping with OFBIZ inline): 1- receiving goods: increase the quantities of these goods. In OFBIZ, we do this using purchase orders that result in shipments to the facility. 2- issuing goods: decrease the quantities of these goods. Goods issuance can be done for external parties (through Sales Orders) or for internal usage (through MRP or Fixed assets).
Let's take an example on Internal goods issuance: An employee needs pens and papers in his daily work. his manager sends a request to the facility manager who will issue these goods to him and decreases the quantities of these goods in the inventory. On the accounting side, costs of these goods are added to the cost center the employee works in (Each Internal Organizations has a cost center). Papers and pens are not considered as fixed assets nor part of an MRP process (at least in my case). My question is: How does OFBIZ support the example above? I see it a lot similar to sales orders, but it is not!. Is it a appropriate to create a third type of orders to handle my example?. Thanks in advance. -- Thanks IyadK
