Product inventory - facility connection

[Jakub Danek <ja...@yoso.fi>]

Hello,

I've spent quite some exploring the documentation and the code, yet with 
no satisfactory answer:

We are using Ofbiz 16.11.

If I receive a product into a facility, I can see the respective 
InventoryItem in facility's Inventory Items tab, however, when I click 
on the "Inventory" tab, I can see nothing.

After I add the facility to the product at the product's Facilities tab, 
I can see the Inventory count at facility's Inventory tab.

My question is this: Is there any way to either make Ofbiz return 
Inventory count based on Inventory items (i.e. no facility in Product's 
tab necessary) or make Ofbiz variant products inherit facility settings 
from their respective Virtual product (i.e. we have to add facility to 
virtual products, but not to each variant product separately)?

We can modify the code to suit our needs, but first I wanted to make 
sure we are not missing some piece of configuration somewhere.

Thank you in advance.

BR,

Jakub

Hi Jakub,

OFBiz is designed to be customized on a granular level and all the general
requirements are available OOTB.
This is not a generic structure to have virtual product assoc with a
facility to work for variants as well. It could be possible that you manage
particular variants at one facility and some other variants at another
facility.
So, this is not available OOTB, but if want to configure it, you need to
have a custom implementation for the same.

HTH.
