combined and sequential order and return numbers
I haven't looked deep into the code yet. I wanted to ask some of you
seasoned OFBiz developers first. I am in a situation where I need to have
the return numbers pull from the order's sequence pool so that both order
and return numbers are sequential without skipping numbers.
I looked around the settings but I couldn't find one. Before I waste time
developing and testing this, does anyone know that this couldn't work
without major changes or will it be a simple code change to the logic that
gets return numbers?
I am using OFBiz 4.0.

That's great, I'm glad it worked out for you. I apologize for not
getting to your follow up email faster... it's a mixed blessing but
there has just been a ton of activity lately!
Is this something you would be willing to share? To do this just
create a Jira issue and attach your patch (if you don't think it's
perfect, feel free to attach it anyway and just mention that you want
to sure but you're not sure if it's really ready to be committed into
the project). Based on what you've described the approach looks great
though.

OFBiz is great. A few lines of code and returns are now pulling from the
order number sequence.
For the solution I added a useOrderIdForReturns indicator, modified the
admin form, and programmed a return to look at useOrderIdForReturns and call
getNextOrderId if needed.
Thanks again David for the pointer. You saved me a bunch of time.

The answer you seek is in the PartyAcctgPreference entity. It sounds
like you're comfortable with code, so the fastest way (well, IMO) is
to search across the project for that and you'll find the entity
definition, demo data, UI for changing it, and even code that uses the
settings (if your curiosity extends to all of that).
Short answer is yes, most of that is implemented.

Hey David. Thanks so much for the quick response and the pointer. I just
want to verify with you what I am seeing. In PartyAcctgPreference there is
a setting to have the returns continue the invoice number. For my
situation, I would just have to follow the same logic, add a acctg setting,
and program OFbiz to do the same for the order number?
Thanks again.
