Christian Carlow updated OFBIZ-5400:
------------------------------------

    Attachment: OFBIZ-5400.patch

This patch provides the following improvements for handling complex ship groups:

1.  A "Ship Groups" page was added to the shopping cart app so that ship group 
information can be entered all at once on a single page.  This page was copied 
and slightly modified for the orderview page to replace the ship group section 
on that page.
2.  Quantity fields for each existing ship group will now appear when adding or 
editing an order item.  This allows items to be added and scheduled at the same 
time.
3.  Ship groups are able to be removed from the shopping cart
4.  Ship groups can be reordered to control the order in which quantity fields 
appear for order items.

This patch was only intended to provide the functionality to internal company 
employees who enter orders.  I'm not sure if such functionality should be 
provided on the eCommerce app for outside parties to use.

Shipping estimates are not listed along with the ship methods in the drop down 
list.  This functionality could use some work.  It wasn't relevant for my needs 
since estimates are manually entered for the most part.

> The order entry form should be improved to better handle orders with complex 
> shipments.  Its difficult to use the current order entry forms for entering 
> ship group information when dealing with 10 or more ship groups with 
> different destinations, carriers, shipment methods, and dates.
> Improvements should include:
> 1.  Allow ship groups to be edited even if the cart is empty
> 2.  Allow the address, carrier shipment method, and shipping dates to be 
> specified on a single page instead of relying on three separate pages
> 3.  Allow items to be assigned to ship groups when creating or updating.  The 
> order items page of existing orders already provides this functionality by 
> allowing quantities to be specified for each ship group for each order item.  
> Similarly, ship groups should be listed with quantity fields for each item 
> when more than one ship group exists so that items can be assigned to ship 
> groups directly when added or updated.
> 4.  Allow ability to assign items directly to ship groups to the form on the 
> order edit page that allows appending of items to existing orders.  Existing 
> items already have this ability so it should be expanded to this form as well.
> 5.  Allow ability to reorder the ship group sequence.  Having the ability to 
> control the sequence of the list of ship group quantity fields would be very 
> useful if the other functionality is implemented.  This would allow for 
> example, a ship group with a date that falls between existing ship group 
> dates to be resequenced to fall between those respective ship group dates 
> when listed for order items.
> 6.  Allow ship groups to be deleted/removed.  Adding a fromDate and thruDate 
> to the OrderItemShipGroup entity could provide this functionality.  Logic 
> would have to check to ensure that no order items have been assigned before 
> removing the ship group.
