Setting up Multi-Inventory seems laborious, so I want to confirm whether it will do what we want before further effort.
We have 2 shipping locations, each with a separate inventory of parts having BOMs. With each customer order, we want to decide manually from which inventory location the entire order will ship, and have the inventory count for those products' BOM components automatically adjusted. It boils down to workflow: which shipper is working this day/week? Who has too much or too little inventory, etc.
What I am seeing so far is that with each order, the order screen says from which inventories the constituent parts are sourced based on rules like BBE or other, without our ability to designate manually that the entire order should draw from whichever inventory we choose, order by order. I see documented a function to allow customers to select which inventory through the front end. We need it to be solely back end.
Can Multi-Inventory do what we want? How? If not, consider this a feature request.
