[OFBiz] Dev - Struggeling with packing and shipment processes

Wed Jun 1 02:55:30 EDT 2005

Look at the section on Shipments. There are links on the order detail  
screen in the Order Manager to create a shipment for each ship group  
in an order, or you can create shipments from the Facility Manager as  
well. It is best to create them based on an orderId and the  
shipGroupSeqId and nothing else and it will fill in most of the stuff  
based on the order and ship group.

The picklist stuff just keeps track of what needs to be picked, and  
once it is picked it is on an implied queue to be packed and shipped,  
which are managed through the shipment. As show in the docs (in the  
process/triggers section of the Application Overview for Users) once  
a Shipment is "packed" the order items in that shipments are marked  
as complete (if the entire quantity is in the shipment), and once all  
order items are complete the order status is changed to complete. A  
shipment going into the packed status also triggers the creation of  
an invoice for the items that were shipped (and have not already been  
invoiced).
