Return goods pick the wrong stock location when using automatic chaining moves

[Kevin McMenamin]

V6.0.3

I have inwards goods location chained to stock location with automatic move.
I return stock to a supplier from the action button on the receive products view. The stock is automatically taken from the inwards goods location, so now I have a negative stock in inwards goods location and an overstated stock quantity in stock.

So how to resolve??
Do an internal transfer from stock to inwards goods - no, as this creates a stock move back to stock.
Do a stock adjustment/physical inventory - no, as any positive adjustment to inwards goods (ie to set to 0 means moving 20 from inventory loss to inwards goods) creates an automatic move to stock.

Solutions:
1. The return should look at the location set up and if an automatic move exists take from that location instead of inwards goods.
2. The stock adjustment/physical inventory processes should ignore chaining rules for any moves created.

This issue is also present in the trunk version.

this proposed fix has a pile of code unrelated to the bug!

NOTE: Fix fails in a multi-warehouse environment - returned from wrong warehouse

We let any user manually do the oprations intead of doing it automatically. Any automatic action may
create other side effects too for stable version. Hence marking importance as Wishlist. Still any customer
can use the provided patch if it meets their tests.

Thanks for understanding!

As this is a feature request rather then a bug I am removing the OPW team as responsible . It requires big changes to have it in stable which is too risky.

Thanks,
