How can I prevent creating build output in build order with not enough allocated items?

[halfrafu]

Hello, I might have found a bug related to build orders but I want to make sure that it indeed is a bug and I'm not missing something.

Let's say I have a part C that is an assembly whose BOM contains 1x part A and 2x part B. In the build order for part C I can allocate parts which are later subtracted from stock after creating and completing the build outputs. However, what I didn't expect, without allocating parts I can still create an incomplete output and mark it as completed even when "Accept incomplete allocation" is disabled (it's actually disabled by default).
I'd expect to get an error that no sufficient stock had been allocated at least when confirming the incomplete output.

Is there any setting I should check or should I report it as a bug?

I'm running Inventree 1.1.12 in docker.

@halfrafu it might be a bug - can you provide some more example here? Ideally, can you recreate the issue on our demo server, and capture screenshots along the way?

[halfrafu]

I've recreated the issue on the demo server. I've added a "test assembly" part consisting of some 2 randomly selected parts.

Here's the video of what happens, I'd have expected Inventree to show an error that not enough stock has been allocated at some point.

Please run the following command and provide the full output:

docker compose run --rm inventree-server invoke update

I've ran the command on my server, here's the full output:

This is actually just a user interface issue. This field should be hidden for builds without "tracked" items: Fix incoming in #11362

Alright, thank you for clarifying that. So if I understand correctly in order to achieve what I want I need to mark parts as trackable? I thought that marking a part as "trackable" requires me to assign a serial number to each individual piece so I wanted to avoid that but now quickly re-reading the docs I see I can assign a batch number to a stock item of e.g. 50 pieces, am I correct?
I'll take a look at that feature and report back.

[halfrafu]

I see that trackable items feature fills the need I didn't initially have but with some items built in batches without specific serial numbers I have similar problem to one in this discussion: #10865. I guess I'd have to create batches manually or don't use tracking features for those items.
I know that it would be a feature request so I'm willing to try working on it by myself. Would it be possible to create a plugin to check if the amount of allocated untracked items is sufficient to complete the build output?
