We have a book business where EVERY inventory item is unique (even two
copies of the exact same book would be different part numbers.) Back when
I was working with LedgerSMB 1.3 I wrote some scripts to update inventory
from the book description database. (They appear in chapter 20 of
LedgerSMB-manual.pdf :-)
Are these still usable in 1.5.x? Is there a better way to update inventory
in a batch or interface way than existed when those scripts were first
written?
Any help would be appreciated,
Louis

Yes, they should still be usable with 1.5.x. For 1.6, I've done mostly a
rewrite of inventory tracking and adjustments. Possibly, with 1.6, the
scripts might not work anymore. However, 1.6 isn't released yet. We can
test and work on the scripts at the time you want /need to migrate to 1.6.
Also, I'm not currently aware of a better way to upload inventory (although
there's an inventory upload possibility through "Goods & Services" >
"Import inventory"; I'm not aware that this will define new part numbers
for you during upload...).
