Would someone please provide scenarios where "Reserve Inventory" should
be set to "N" for a store. It causes OrderItemShipGrpInvRes not to be
used so there's no way to ship the order item. Does this mean that
"Reserve Inventory" is necessary anytime a store requires shipments?
I'm wondering if I should code for allowing "Reserve Inventory" set to
"N" to allow for creating shipments for order items.

OrderItemShipGrpInvRes seems like it was meant to track backorder
information by storing aggregate quantities that could otherwise be
calculated by subtracting ItemIssuance records from matching
InventoryItem records in the way that InventoryItem quantityOnHand and
availableToPromise fields are aggregates of the InventoryItemDetail
records. I suppose that referencing an aggregate quantity would be
much faster way to get a value so I'll attempt to fix the without
trying to remove the entity.
I'm going to start working on this and assume the shipment operations
have not yet been completed in any version.

IMO, the OrderItemShipGrpInvRes entity should be removed and anything
referencing it should be changed to derive quantities from the
entities that cause the quantities in OrderItemShipGrpInvRes to change.
For example, the Order Items page of the Shipments application bases
the list of items that may be issued to the Shipment on the
OrderItemShipGrpInvRes entity. I think it should be changed to
generate the list based on the joining of the OrderItemShipGroupAssoc
and ItemIssuance entities and only list those records that have a
remaining quantity greater than 0.
OrderItemShipGroupAssoc is only used when the store "Reserve
Inventory" setting is set to "Y" and is the only way to create
itemIssuance records. Without itemIssuances being used there is no
way to ship order items.

Which Release.revision?
Though I did not try it recently, I remember it was working in
"old" releases.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether or not OFBiz's
shipment
capabilities are sophisticated enough to work OOTB or if its
considered
something too buggy to use yet. I've tried creating shipments to
fulfill OrderItem ShipGroup schedules multiple ways and have
encountered
bugs with all of them. The majority of the bugs relate to incorrect
calculation of the OrderItemShipGroupInvRes. OrderItemShipGroupInvRes
seems to determine what is allowed to be picked, packed and
shipped but
can easily contain incorrect information.
I tried disabling the Reserve Inventory option of the store but this
prevented me from shipping anything. Does Reserve Inventory have
to be
enabled to allow shipment capabilities for orders?
Is anyone using OFBiz OOTB to handle order shipments?
