Re: Need from/thruDate on SegmentGroupRole?

[Al Byers]

David,

Are you saying that in my application, it would be fine to add from/thru 
date fields to SegmentGroupRole entity, or that it would be a good idea 
to submit a JIRA issue to add those fields to the OFBiz core code? Since 
fromDate would be part of a new primary key, I would be surprised if you 
meant that, but I thought I would ask.

As I understand it, SegmentGroup is there to handle sales 
territories. If so, wouldn't it be desirable to attach sales reps to 
a region by the SegmentGroupRole, and if so, since that would be a 
high turnover position, wouldn't it be good to have it time 
constrained by the from/thruDate?

I see where PartyRelationship is tied to the SegmentGroupRole via the 
SegmentGroupViewRelatedParties view, but I don't see how that would 
apply in this case.

Was the intent just to replace or delete sales reps as they became 
active and inactive?
