partial picking and packing?

[Si Chen <si...@opensourcestrategies.com>]

Hi.

Does the system currently support partial pick or pack?

For example, is it possible to generate a picklist which says "Get 10  
of item X from order #1", then if the warehouse comes back and only  
picked 8, then the next time the picklist will say "Get 2 of item X  
from order #1" again?

Similarly, if the system has reserved 10 units of inventory against  
an order item, can I use the "Packing" tab to pack only 8, and then  
next time come back to  pack the last 2?  I seem to be getting "No  
inventory reservation available errors".

It seems on further research that picklists will check for past pick  
lists and skip if the order item is on a non-canceled one, so a re- 
pick is currently not possible.  Would it be a good idea to extend it  
so that it can figure out if there is a leftover balance from past  
picks?

The partial packing works sometimes and breaks sometimes.  Not quite  
sure why that is yet.
