stock: when splitting incoming shipments, system allows to split lots in more than the total quantity, without warning

[Lorenzo Battistini]

openobject-addons/6.0 revno 4545

steps:

1- Create new incoming shipments
2- Add it a stock move with quantity '3'
3- Open the move and click on 'Split'
4- Add 4 lots
5- Click 'Ok'

System splits the move in 3 lots losing information about the fourth.
I would expect that, for instance, while clicking 'Ok', system warned me about having added too many lots

Lorenzo,

I think it really should be just a warning, not a prohibition. It happens quiet often a suppliers deliveres more than you ordered....

Hello Steffi,

see this example:

Company bought 3 products and receives 6 products.
So, the warehouseman has in front of him 6 lots (6 serial numbers).
He opens the incoming shipment that has 1 stock.move with quantity '3'.
He splits the move in order to enter the serial numbers that he sees.
So, he enters 6 serial numbers.
He clicks 'Ok'.
The stock.move is split in 3 moves with the first 3 serial numbers, without warning the warehouseman

Hello Lorenzo,

Thanks for your participation here.

Talking more about your comment #2, I would like to share one opinion.

Company bought 3 products and receives 6 products.
In this case, we should add one extra move which adds 3 more quantities, and hence the reception of 6 qty can be justified.

As of now, the current 6.0.2 does not allow reception of more no. of qtys of products than the actual on move. A warning will be raised in such a case.

If I talk about your case, I agree its a scenario where we can get more than needed from suppliers. We can allow this in OpenERP, but imagine the vulnerability when user can enter 300 qty while only 5 qty were supposed to be entered.

Hence, we opted to restrict this by a warning message.

You can check latest 6.0 and work with this option as per #2.

Moreover, the issue reported here will be taken care of, by https://code.launchpad.net/~openerp-dev/openobject-addons/6.0-opw-10344-pso/+merge/66298.

We will be waiting for your inputs here and will proceed for the fix.

Thanks.

Hello Jay,

I approved that merge proposal as it fixes the problem for me.
It does precisely what I suggested.

Thanks
