It would be nice if the force negative stock flag could be overridden temporarily when doing a direct invoice or a delivery.

Sometime, we try to dispatch an order and for some reason the stock in FA is null whereas we have some on hand
The usual workflow is ,
-  try do the delivery
- system complains that there is no stock available
- go to company setup
- tick the allow negative stock
- go back to the delivery
- dispatch the order

... everything is fine so far

and usually we forget to untick the allow negative stock back.
So what would be great would be that  when system moans because there is not stock available, it also offer the possibility to do the delivery and override the 'allow negative stock checkbox' just for this transaction.
A big button like 'Yes I know, please let me do it anyway' would be fine.

Ideally, this button will be subject to appropriate permission.

Some people might think why am I allowing not allowing negative stock all the time ?
- Because I want to be warned when there is a problem, 90% of the time the system is real  and I don't want to allow negative stock. That might also depend on the product (most of the "false" negative stock problem occurs when we are dispatching a manufacturing a product and didn't have the time to create the BOM for it and we are rushing to finish everything before the delivery man come collect it).

Hi there

I've done a couple of customisation to FA and my version is getting further and further from the original one.
So here is a list of the modification I made, and I would like know which will of any interests for the community and eventually if anybody would like to help to tidy up some bit (if some of the features were to be moved in FA).

- Sales order list :
* sort item by stock_id when displaying cart
* allow order to be sorted by customer (and other) in order list.
- Order Delivery
* add clear quantity button, so the default quantity to dispatch to 0. (usefull when you need to dispatch only a bit from a big order).
* set the initial quantity to dispatch to what is availabe. What is available depend on what other people have order (priority according to order date). I will extract this to a module to allow priority per item.
* sort item by stock_id when displaying cart.
* Add 'ALL location' in stock movement to see all moves between location. (UI needs tidying up).

- Stock
* Add "weights" to locations. Those weights are used to weigh quantity on hand and on demand. This allow for example to have a lost location (item 'lost' won't count as in stock) or order in 'to cancel' location, doesn't count as on demand.
This used mainly by the 'available' feature on order delivery, but could be extended to FA report.

* filter items  in stock check sheet report using regexp or like expression. Needs SQL injection protection.

- Trial Balance
"Clear" the initial balance difference  due previous year.
For example if initial balance (of the year)  for the stock is 120000 | 100000
display 20000 | 0 instead.

- Report
* Use readable name for some reports. This is need when you need to send an order, a statement or invoice to a customer.
The normal workflow is export the report (save it) , and attach it in the email. However, whith mangled name, it's easy to send the wrong invoice to the wrong customer.
According to JOE that's a security issue (and I agree) but I need to be able to save a report with a different name (and if possible a pre generated one).

* filter invoice report per customer (usefull when a customer want you to send all the invoice). However, the UI is at the moment a bit clamby (because I can't filter the 'from' and 'to' invoice by customer).

etc ...

So if you could let me know, which feature you need and deserve to be integrated in FA.
