Orders: Inventory Bypass: Function Change

Description
The Inventory Bypass function was originally designed to ignore inventory checks, but it currently forces users to pick a delivery method and date and then automatically marks items as delivered. This causes issues with scheduling, record accuracy, and warehouse handling.

Problem

• Forces delivery method/date selection even when not relevant.

• Auto-marks items as delivered, creating inaccurate records.

• Breaks the normal order/delivery flow.

• Confuses users, especially for future deliveries and 3rd-party providers like AFM.

Solution

• Remove required delivery method & date inputs from the bypass flow.

• Do not auto-mark items as delivered upon bypass.

• Add a clear “Bypassed” label in order views and warehouse UI.

• Exclude bypassed items from scan-out pages to avoid warehouse confusion.

• Provide an Undo Bypass option to revert items back to inventory handling.

• Track bypass/undo actions in the system changelog for visibility.

Impact

• Allows flexible handling of 3rd-party and future deliveries.

• Prevents false delivery records.

• Reduces warehouse errors by removing bypassed items from scan-out.

• Improves transparency with clear labeling and changelog tracking.

• Enhances user confidence by aligning function behavior with expectations.
