Agree. I was not suggesting that a fix would be unconditional. Rather,
something along the lines you suggest here- a conditional property that
can be checked to determine whether or not stock should be checked
before issuing. For this particular client this is an absolute
requirement. In fact, this has been an client expectation / requirement
for most of the ERP implementations I have done (most not with OFB).

I agree that this is a big hole/bug. On the other hand, there are folks who
don't mind/prefer the sloppiness (I have a customer just like that). So,
perhaps we could use a property to define the behavior, like:
ilikesloppybookkeeping=true/false (tongue in cheek)
However, I would be happy to collaborate to get this done. I want
requirements and automatic backorders issued for out of stock etc for quick
ship. I was just about to start work on this. We could modify the existing
service to look for a property and if it exists, do the better bookkeeping /
automatic ordering.
This is a hole for me because if my customer has a customer at the counter
and is selling him some stuff and part of it is on back order, he has to
exit out of the sales order screen and go to the shipping screen to get it
all done right. It's a pain and will happen 10 times a day for him. Fixing
the quickship will take care of it.
Maybe with the configurable property, the muckity-mucks won't be so
reluctant to accept it.

The more I think about this, it seems inappropriate for an ERP
system to allow this. Why would the quick ship service allow a user
to charge a customers credit card and "ship" a physical product
that the system "knew" was not available?
For some users the system doesn't know everything...
Before charging the card, the sales person would want to confirm
that the goods were actually available. Once this was confirmed, it
would take a facility worker 30 seconds to adjust the inventory,
leaving an audit trail etc.
Yes, but not everyone wants to use it this way.
To me this seems like a JIRA issue, which should be fixed.
I'll submit the issue and we'll submit a fix.
It will most likely be rejected.

Well, there ya go!
The quick ship order stuff doesn't check stock levels...

Yes, I should have mentioned that we created a new service to
automatically create shipments. It calls quickShipOrder as part
of it's processing.

What do you mean by "being created"?
There isn't really anything that automatically creates
shipments, unless a human does it through some UI like the
shipment or packing screens (or a service or something was
written to automatically do it somehow).

It appears that shipments are being created with out of stock
items in an implementation we are doing. I am guessing this is
due to product store settings, not a code issue.
rev = 545314
check inventory=Y
reserve inventory=Y
require inventory=N
All products are finished goods (no digital or virtual)
Thanks for any help.
