All your example, the company doesn't own the products sent/received so they should not be in the warehouse. You can use an secondary supplier/customer location for that. So here we have the need of an external shipment (maybe internal shipment could be extended). Once you have the real operation sale or purchase, you just have to pick products from the right location (could be configured on the party). -- Cédric Krier - B2CK SPRL Email/Jabber: cedric.kr...@b2ck.com Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
