[jira] [Updated] (OFBIZ-12053) Promising against Future Supply of Inventory

["Swapnil Shah (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-12053?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Swapnil Shah updated OFBIZ-12053:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
*Requirement Elicitation:* 
 Promising delivery of any product or SKU to a customer out of On Hand inventory against any firm or forecasted demand arising either in the form of Sales Order or Production Runs(Jobs) in the system has been now been a established practice and well supported to a great extent within Ofbiz. 

However, there is a strong need felt to have a solution that can address the problem in making promises to customer for any product or SKU out of any future or expected supply of inventory through inbound shipments from vendors or suppliers. There may be different natures of demand for which such kind of solution capability can serve well like: 
 * Demand from orders or jobs which couldn't get any commitment out of on hand inventory and thus are often termed as Backordered (BO)
 * Demand from Advanced or Pre-booked orders while launching new product line as inventory is yet to arrive at fulfilment locations
 * Demand from booked orders against limited edition version of existing product line as inventory is yet to arrive at fulfilment locations
 * Demand from sample lines booked during pre-launch event
 * and so on...

While attempting to promise customer from future supply for a product/SKU then from solutioning stand point, anything that can try to address the following questions should be a good start to begin with:
 * How to promise (i.e., what should be the rules or constraints or basis for promising order)
 * How much to promise (i.e. how many units out of ordered units need to be promised for any given order)
 * How much is Available to Promise (i.e. how many promisable units available from different sources or inbound shipments for a given product/SKU)  
 * Where to Promise from (i.e. from which source or inbound shipment the order can be promised)
 * When to promise (i.e. on what date a given order can be promised)

Let's use this space to add on to it with more such real time use scenarios or questions that needs the right answer.

We could try writing the design to solve for it in a separate linked ticket
