Jacopo Cappellato commented on OFBIZ-13252:
-------------------------------------------
In my opinion, while it is clear that this feature is based on some real world
client use case, it seems too much customer specific to be included in OFBiz.
In fact, I think that for the same use case, different customers may want to
implement a workflow different from what you have described. All in all, I
think that the basic feature provided by OFBiz, i.e., materials always returned
to a facility is flexible enough to implement most use cases. E.g., you could
use a special facility that represents items that have been returned by a
production run, but are in the shop floor. This would not require any
significant change to the system, apart from designing an ad hoc UI.

> Key: OFBIZ-13252
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-13252
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: manufacturing
> Affects Versions: Upcoming Branch
> Reporter: Yashwant Dhakad
> Priority: Minor
>
> In manufacturing settings, workers often transfer or return materials
> directly on the shop floor, particularly when materials are unused or need to
> be regenerated for future use in the same production run. Currently, Apache
> OFBiz does not support recording such in-process returns or internal
> transfers efficiently. It requires users to return materials to the warehouse
> and then reissue them later, even though the materials physically remain on
> the shop floor.
> This leads to unnecessary steps, increased administrative effort, and
> redundant or inaccurate inventory records.
> To address this, a new *"Shop Floor Transfer"* transaction type should be
> introduced in Apache OFBiz. This feature would allow users to record
> *internal returns or handovers* of materials within the same facility during
> an active production run. It will support scenarios where materials are
> {*}returned for future regeneration and later reissued{*}, without requiring
> warehouse involvement.
> This enhancement will streamline production workflows, reduce overhead, and
> ensure inventory records accurately reflect the actual material flow on the
> shop floor.
