Implement weight / pc upstream #187

In practice there are several kinds of articles with their own distribution flow. Packaged by pieceItems that come packaged, where each item that is distributed to members has its own package, are well supported by the current Foodsoft approach: members can order by item, and items can be ordered from the supplier by unit quantity. Packaged in bulkItems that are packaged in large quantities like rice, flour, macaroni and raisins can be ordered from the supplier by package and distributed to members in smaller amounts. These smaller amounts are fixed amounts, so when bulk is per 10kg and members order per 100g, a member cannot order per 50g. But since the foodcoop can adjust this amount, it is no problem in practice. Also, when distributing and the member gets 123g instead of 100g, this can still be entered in the system, even though it may require some head mental arithmetic. Packaged by varying piecesSome fresh produce like cabbage and pumpkin can be ordered from the supplier by weight (boxes) and distributed to members by piece having an average weight. If the pieces are about the same size, they can be handled as 'packaged by piece', but if they have very different sizes, it may be more fair to everyone to distribute by weight. This decision can only be made at receive or distribute time. The current issue is mainly about 'packaged by varying pieces'. |
This issue needs to be re-assessed completely: where is this needed, what is available in Foodsoft, and how to implement it. I would wait until foodcoops#1073 is merged, which brings more knowledge of units into Foodsoft. |
A shortcut could be possible: by a custom plugin. Not sure if that will be integrated into Foodsoft though. |
For foodcoops handling fresh produce, there is a need to enter amounts not in how many units, but in grams (or volume of liquid).
This has been implemented in this fork with a unit - pieces switch, but needs to go upstream.
