inventory questions
Hi,
I need to transfer several products between facilities. I thought I could
use shipments but I readed that only sale and purchase orders are supported.
Is that correct?
I have no requirements on selecting any inventory Item to transfer, I only
need to transfer products if enough stock is available. I noted that
inventory transfers can be used, but I need to select the inventory Item,
and I coundn't find a way to send more than one product using this feature.
Should I generate a new entity "InventoryMovement" with a one to many
relationship with inventoryTransfers to implement what I want?
In the inventory Transfer screen there is a field Container ID field , but I
couldn't find a way to create a container. Is this feature available?
Regards.
Marcelo

Marcelo,
This is what I have so far:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-352
which are basically half of the solution to this problem.
Unfortunately I never finished it myself, but it should show you how
it could be done. Feel free to ask questions or post your code samples.

Si,
i'll have a try to implement that functionality. It will be a good exercise
to learn how to develop in Ofbiz. I'm not worried with mid layer, I readed a
few methods in java and milnilang and I think they are clear to me. I have
less experience with UI (widget, ftl, etc)
Thanks.

Marcelo,
That's the modification that would have to be made -- instead of
showing Order Items, it should bring up a screen which allows you to
add inventory items instead of product items. The transfer shipment
is sort of a feature that is specified in ofbiz but has never been
implemented. The good news is, I do have some code that could help
with creating inventory transfers once the transfer shipment has been
created, so if you make the changes and then post it to jira, I can
put in my code as well.

Si,
I've found transfer shipment, but i couldn't find the way to enter items to
that shipment. There is a order items button, but it only allows me to
select an order or a ship group ID (don't know what it is), no way to select
products.
Thanks

Si,
How can I create the Shipment you're mentioning?

You should use the current Inventory Transfer feature. There should
be no need to add another "InventoryMovement" entity for this
functionality. If you have many inventory items to transfer, what
you can do is use the "Transfer Shipment" type of Shipment to group
them together. What you can do is add items to the Shipment, then
when you mark it completed, have a SECA create and complete inventory
transfers for you.
