Iain,
in my opinion, adding the ability to cancel an item issuance (for a non
packed shipment) would be useful and not too difficult to implement; the
only thing to consider (maybe) is that if, when the item issuance is
created, an accounting transaction is sent to the general ledger (e.g.
by the Opentaps' financial component) we will have to void it with
another transaction.
However, you can probably do what you are describing also using the
"shipment plan" screen of the shipment: from ther you can assign order
items to shipment items without issuing product from warehouse.
there are no issuances involved and so you can cancel the shipment items
(but I've not tested this process).
And when you are ready to actually ship the items to the customer, from
the shipment->shipment plan screen you can just issue them with one click.
Just my two cents,
Jacopo

David,
You're absolutely right. As I was digesting your reply it dawned on me
that a critical point I didn't make was that the shipments I'm talking
about aren't even in the PACKED state yet.
Cheers, Iain

Yeah, very different. On a side note not totally relevant to this
thread: that would have been helpful information in getting your
question answered in a more helpful way.
