Re: [WebERP-developers] More convenient feature for preparing goods in warehouse and confirm delivery

[Phil D. <ph...@lo...>]

Hi Bob,

Where we can I prefer webERP to adopt least effort/data entry work 
flows. I accept that there are places where more data entry is required 
if you wish to build in double checks/authorisation. However, many 
businesses cannot afford additional personnel to double key and separate 
layers of staff to authorise picks etc... webERP is more aimed at 
businesses where the personnel doing the picking are also producing the 
invoice. I like the idea of the invoice without prices for a packing 
slip with actual quantities where the hand written quantities on the 
packing slip are not sufficient.

The scenario you propose, I think this is a worthy modification but 
possibly one that should be either an option in config or perhaps a 
special case for your business. It is adding significant complexity that 
I would rather avoid in the standard version.
