Aaaaah, that's what the 2 is.... Good to know.
Working on this module suddenly gave me an idea to greatly improve inventory management (at least I think). This would require the module to be a system-standard module though. Please read my idea below.
In the company I used to work, and implemented vtiger (now corebos) we always had problems with the limited inventory management in the app. For instance, a partially delivered sales order had to be split in two or even more just to keep track of what was delivered and what was not. This module could improve this, but it could do more. We could add a column to salesorder inventory lines that indicate the number of items that have actually been delivered to the customer, based on the packing slips. Saving a packing slip would then update the inventorylines in the system to show the number of items delivered. We could also add a status entry to salesorders, that would be "Partially delivered", that would be set as long as the total number of items delivered is lower than the total number of items on the sales order, but greater than zero.
I really feel this would help companies get a better grip on their inventory management and back-orders, and thereby improving customer satisfaction.
