[Bug 1075559] [NEW] [6.1] return product messed up when output location manually chained to customer location

 

Public bug reported:

If you setup you warehouse with the Output location manually chained to
the customer location, then returning goods is messed up.

A Sale Order will generate a move from Stock to Output, and the chained
location setup will generate a move from Output to Customer. When the
customer returns the good for any reason, the user will use the stock
return picking wizard from the OUT picking. This generates an incoming
move from Customer to Output, and the chained location setup generates
in turn an outgoing move from Output to Customer (and when the incoming
picking is processed, the outgoing move gets available...)

This is wrong, as it totally messes up the logistics of the company, and
it is a big problem for an e-commerce company handling over 100 SO per
day, with 5% return rate, as it requires a lot of manual processing. In
my opinion, there should never be an *incoming* move to the *Output*
location of the warehouse. This would solve the problem.

There should be a setting on the shop specifying which location is to be
used for returns, or the stock return picking wizard should provide a
way of specifying a location on a case by case basis.
