But that doesn't really cover it for controlled. What about the sale of a 
quantity of oil that is in 10 drums - each drum containing 50 litres. 
Controlled but NOT serialised. The stock movement is for 500 litres, we would 
only want one stockmove under your scenario? We would need a bundleID 
referenced to this stockmove for all 10 drums. One bundleID, would only cut 
it if it were possible to enter multiple items of the same StockID on the 
same invoice - at the time of confirmDispatch_Invoice.php - maybe this is 
what you have in mind?

One wouldn't want to be pre-allocating bundleids to orders before they are 
picked .... would you ? So shouldn't affect sales orders.... should it? Same 
with PO - only really affects the delivery - GoodsReceived.php.


I will need to see it and play with it to fully get it I fear!!

I am probably not that useful to bounce off coding issues on till I get into 
it. I do have views on the functionality we should code though, but only from 
a practical standpoint.
