> Shipping Box Size Calculation for Better Estimates
> --------------------------------------------------

> Key: OFBIZ-669
> URL: http://jira.undersunconsulting.com/browse/OFBIZ-669
> Project: [OFBiz] Open For Business
> Type: New Feature
> Components: product
> Environment: SVN
> Reporter: Daniel Kunkel
> Assignee: Jira Administrator
> Priority: Minor
>
>
> Having gotten the USPS rate estimator working... I'm realizing that in order
> for it to be useful we need to get an accurate estimate of which box will be
> needed, and how much it weighs with packing materials.
> Proposed Scheme
> Add a new table for shipping boxes...
> box id
> height
> width
> depth
> height uom
> width uom
> depth uom
> ---
> usable height
> usable width
> usable depth
> usable height uom
> usable width uom
> usable depth uom
> weight
> weight uom
> + timestamps
> ---
> Algorithm...
> 1.) Requires all products height >= width >= depth... or have the dimensions
> ordered that way for algorithm
> 2.) Find Maximum Height Width and Depth of any product
> 3.) Calculate total shipping volume for all products
> 4.) For all boxes in the above table, sort by usable volume that is greater
> than total shipping volume.
> 5.) Searching box by box, accept the first box that is large enough in every
> dimension (max length, max width, max height).
> 6.) Add the weight of this box to the product weight... and use this for
> shipping.
> Any thoughts?
