Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-9592:
----------------------------------------
Hi Paul,
There are many places where an information could help. Most of the time you
have to figure out what the situation is. Sometimes comments in the code help
OFBiz users to do the best in their custom situation. I agree it's not best but
it's difficult to do better OOTB with the volunteers OFBiz has. In this case
it's totally appropriate when you see that even an experience committer has a
doubt:
At OFBIZ-2689 [~vikasmayur] mentioned
bq. I am not sure about what is the difference between Remaining Qty. and
Outstanding Qty. but looks to me a good change. I will commit your patch.
For the rest it makes totally sense to me and I agree about
bq. We can hide the the Cancelled and Orig Ordered when there have not been
cancellations
Will you provide a patch?

> Key: OFBIZ-9592
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-9592
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: order
> Affects Versions: Trunk, Upcoming Branch
> Reporter: Paul Foxworthy
> Assignee: Paul Foxworthy
> Priority: Major
> Labels: order, order_item
>
> In the quantities relating to order items, there are two numbers presented:
> "remaining" and "outstanding". The calculations for these two numbers are
> identical.
> Compare
> [https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-framework/blame/trunk/applications/order/template/order/OrderItems.ftl#L252]
> for a purchase order item (and two lines below for a sales order item)
> with
> [https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-framework/blame/trunk/applications/order/template/order/OrderItems.ftl#L303]
> for a purchases order item (and two lines below for a sales order item)
> The only difference I can see between the Remaining and Outstanding numbers
> is the extra test the second time to force the outstanding number to zero for
> a status of ITEM_COMPLETED.
> There are two different numbers because the original intent was that
> Remaining is the quantity after any cancellations, so in the common situation
> where there have been no cancellations, Remaining should be the same as the
> original quantity ordered.
> A bug was introduced in a commit a long time ago, where "Remaining" was
> changed so it replicates "Outstanding".
