Stock management

[Lars Bouma <ba...@gmail.com>]

Hello everyone, 
I’m in a small production company where we would like to use OFBiz for stock management and order management. I already have OFBiz running and the basic setup is also complete. There is only one thing were am running into at the moment. I would like the system to auto generate a purchase order whenever the quantity on hand level is below or at a certain level. 

Is there someone how could tell  me if this is possible. And if so, how do I setup the system for this usage?


Kind regards,
Lars Bouma

Hi Lars,

Your message has been moderated, else it would not have reached this Mailing List.

Please subscribe to the user ML for such questions and then use your email client.
See why here http://ofbiz.apache.org/mailing-lists.html.

You will get a better support, people can answer you on the ML.
The wider the audience the better the answers you might get.

Also it's more work for moderators who have to accept your messages as long as you have not subscribed.
I'll personally no longer accept them (other moderators still could).

Thanks

This said, I could be wrong but I don't think a such feature exist or as even be contributed.
Maybe because a human control is necessary and also because it can me more complex.
You may be interested by https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6964

It should be possible to create a simple flow for your use case by using parameters than you can see at
https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/EditProductFacilities?productId=GZ-1000

If you want to contribute or work with the team on a solution please create a Jira, thanks.

Hello Lars,

One simple solution is you can add an custom ECA/SECA rule based on
required inventory levels (can be customised using
ProductFacility.minimumStock) to trigger PO creation.

Another is, you can explore some OOTB manufacturing capabilities where 'run
MRP' [1] is a process by which the system proposes requirements [2] and PO
can be created afterwards after approving those requirements.

Here [3] is a reference document.
