Hey Christian,
I've tried using the "Pack Shipment for Ship Group" option but encounter
bugs related to OrderItemShipGrpInvRes entity having incorrect
quantities. I get
this error when trying to Complete the form:
Attempt to pack order failed.
Packed amount does not match reserved amount for item (10211) [4 / 0.000000]
This is caused by the OrderItemShipGrpInvRes entity. The second number
0 in the error above refers to the quantity field of that entity. I
need to be able to pack available inventory for any ship group that
might be scheduled. The problem with doing this is that inventory is
automatically associated with order items when inventory is received and
only those corresponding records in the OrderItemShipGrpInvRes table
with quantityNotAvailable greater than 0 are able to be packed and
associated with the shipment upon completion.
One issue I've created on JIRA explains how OrderItemShipGrpInvRes
quantities can be changed to incorrect values by receiving inventory
into the facility in a certain way:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5370?filter=-2
Seems like the whole shipping module needs to be redone. There are also
plenty of auto-invoicing issues related to shipment statusId getting
changed to Picked or Packed.

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?
Our customer is processing orders (up to 100 line items with product
quantity of 1000s) without any (known) problems.
Shipments are created with "Pack Shipment For Ship Group", sometimes
several shipments per order are created if there is not enough inventory
to fulfill. After pressing "Complete" shipments and orders are created
and everything is done.
We have done a few changes (which should make it into OFBiz) like
invoicing per ShipmentItem and not per ItemIssue and sort order on the
"Pack Order" Screen but nothing concerning shipment IIRC (I'll have a
closer look at the changes)
