Re: [Web-erp-users] New Web Erp Functionality

[Daintree F. <p.d...@xt...>]

Hi Richard,

This looks like a great development.

In principle my personal preference is one integrated application in
preference to two.

Serialising the stock needs modifications to all areas that produce stock
movements:

-invocing
-crediting
-receiving,
-adjusting,
-transfers.

There is such a flag - its a little cryptically named "controlled". It is
not currently used for any other purpose and to flag serialised or lot
control was the intention.

Select an Outstanding purchase order and hit the receive link. Point well
made though.

I would like to build functionality to enable this data to be keyed too. On
the receiving of controlled items a further step is required to enter the
serial numbers lots or batches of the stock received, that then reconciles
to the total received.

The order -> invoice cycle is a two stage process, the order is created,
packing slip printed, order picked, packing slip comes back with quantities
dispatched, order confirmed with quantites dispatched and invoice produced.

Maybe the order doesn't need the serial number on it, but there is a need to
record the serial numbers of the items picked? This would be part of the
order confirmation then to spell out the serial numbers of the items picked.
Could these confirmations be done with the aid of a bar code reader which
read off the serial numbers of the items picked that perhaps had a tear off
sticky bar code that could be stuck too the office copy of the packing slip
?? Not entirely sure what the aims are.

There is no stock check functionality in web-erp (as yet) - maybe this comes
before serialisation!

Just my 2c
