Mridul Pathak commented on OFBIZ-3764: -------------------------------------- I like the second approach better. > Party Relationship Sub-Class > ---------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-3764 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3764 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: party, product > Affects Versions: Trunk > Reporter: Bob Morley > Assignee: Jacques Le Roux > Attachments: OFBIZ-3764_SupplierRel.patch > > > Despite how much I typed; this is really a very small patch. :) > This patch adds a new entity "SupplierRel" which is a sub-class of > "PartyRelationship" (as well as a view-entity for convenience). It provides > a new field "accountNumber" that can be used to store the long-term account > number assigned to the relationship between the Company and its Supplier. > The life of this account number is longer than any agreement between the two, > so it has been put on this informal relationship. Moreover, it is possible > to have an informal relationship between a company and a supplier with out an > explicit binding agreement -- this was discussed most recently in this thread: > http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Storing-supplier-provided-account-number-td2076162.html#a2076162 > ALSO -- this patch fixes two problems that I encountered when attempting to > create a party relationship. > a) It did not look right to have an empty dropdown for status -- I created > the standard "Created" status under the PARTY_REL_STATUS type so that we show > the only applicable status. There does not appear to be any specific logic > looking for party relationships with a blank status, so creating ones with > this status should not cause any issues. > b) When creating the PartyRelationship the response in the controller was of > type "view-last" which was a problem because the last controller request was > typically the ajax one to "FindPartyName" which was used as part of the party > lookup field in that form. The net result, was that on success it would > render the PartyName instead of replaying the EditPartyRelationships. > Changed form "view-last" to "view" to resolve this issue. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
