[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-173?page=comments#action_12430834 ] Rodrigo Aguinaga commented on OFBIZ-173: ----------------------------------------
hi, From Chris comment I think there are some great ideas that we can use on this feature, so what I'm going to do it's to describe a group of steps that need to be done for a PO creation from the requirements, RQF and Quotes, so that way we can have a big picture of the functionality and add information to an specific step of the cycle. Step1: Create the product requirement - Needs to specify a product - Needs to specify a facility ( so we can know which facility requires the product ) - Cuantity, amount and max. amount. To know how many items are required, and how much are we willing to pay. Step2: Create the RQF - The product store that requires the products, so the supplier knows how's asking for it, and where it's suppose to be delivered - The requesting party, to associate the quote ot a buyer. - And the items requires basicly the same info that a requirement (we can have a friendly screen to do this) * What it's missing rigth know it's the chance to associate a RQF to multiple supplies, this could be work out throught the party roles * With in the RQF report (curently there's none) there could be the contact to the request taker info. * As in quote, there should be a functionality that allows to send the RQF to the selected suppliers in a email as a report. Step3: Create the Quote - All that cames from the RQF. - Specify for the items the unit prices - Define the Bill-To Customer, End-User Customer and Ship-To Customer roles. Because in order to know which internal company it's creating the PO, you need to specify this info (as you can see here the term customer it's not used to refer the "client". It's use to refer the internal company that it's going to make the purchase. Why it's this, because the way this is used for purchase quotes and sales quotes, the customer definition change a little on each case ) Step4: Create the Order - All the info from the quote - You also need to specify shipping method and financial options Please when you contribute to improve the funtionality try to say something like "on the step 2 we could add....." so that way we all could understand each other. Hopefully this is not to tedious and we can understand each other better. -- Rodrigo > Purchase Quotes and RQF > ----------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-173 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-173 > Project: OFBiz (The Open for Business Project) > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: order > Affects Versions: SVN trunk > Environment: any > Reporter: Rodrigo Aguinaga > Priority: Minor > Attachments: pur_quotes.patch > > > Hi, > I actually wanted to know if there's any plans to include quotes for > purchase orders, since right now the quotes works only for sales order. > Since the purchase order and the sales order are very much alike it > wouldn't require much work, only to make a service like the one used to > create a sales order from a quote, but for purchase order. > After that, well there could be an screen that allows you to take a > group of approved requirements and use them to create a RQF or a Quote.
