In *Apache OFBiz*, if you *create an invoice directly without creating an order or shipment*, then *inventory will NOT be reduced automatically* by default. Why?
OFBiz follows a *process-driven model* for inventory management. Inventory changes typically happen only through specific events like: - *Sales Order + Shipment* → reduces inventory. - *Inventory Transfer / Adjustment* → manually changes inventory. - *Return / Receipt* → increases inventory. Creating an *invoice alone* is a *financial document*—used for accounting, billing, and reporting—*not an inventory transaction*.
