Frans custom for Shipment module
Frans shipment has some custom.
1/ Shipment created vs shipment shipped
Shipping process goes like this:
- step 1 - Shipper creates a shipment
- step 2 - Shipper adds packages to shipment
- step 3 - Shipper adds products to shipment's packages
- step 4 -Shipper prints label
Notice that after step 4; sales_shipment has column `ship_date` populated. Before step 4; `ship_date` is empty.
We use `sales_shipment` column `ship_date` to determine if and when the shipment ACTUALLY shipped. We call that column actual-ship-date. Do NOT use `sales_shipment` createdcreated_at datecolumn - itthat doescolumn notonly meanmeans that the shipment ACTUALLYbegins shipped.(step 1).
