OrderPaymentPreference
I am confused about the naming and use of the OrderPaymentPreference Entity. I have done some limited testing and observation and it looks to me like the sum of maxAmount for any orderId should exactly equal the grandTotal or the OrderHeader record with the same orderId. Is that correct, and if not, under what conditions might they not match? (Or maybe I am barking up the wrong tree.) I am looking at this in relationg to BillingAccounts (and in general just trying to understand it). I am worried about this because a Payment uses a PaymentApplication which references an invoiceId and no mention of the orderId used by OrderPayentPreference. Is there some linking entity or bridge I am missing? Skip
Re: Link Party
IMO, the problem with "mere linkage" is that there'd be so many scattered pieces of data to stitch together. Data retrieval or traversal will get a little heavy. Might be better to simply reconcile duplicate Party(s) into one Party, and drop the duplicates thereafter. That said, I think the Link function can still work very nicely as an interim measure. Or even as a permanent measure, if you don't mind having to keep track of scattered pieces of data. One possible snag is when you perform a "lookup" function, say like "Find all Party(s) with name like Blah". Your "lookup" function must consider linked Party(s) (aka duplicates), and NOT return those results. Jonathon Dave Tenerowicz wrote: Yes, that's what we'll be doing. IP address and visitorId would not be useful, since (in Phase 1) this is strictly an order taking function via sales reps- so there is no party specific IP address or visitorId.

Re: ofBiz for a Super Market
Thomas, If you do use Flex or Lazlo you will need to access the services through the ofbiz controller (presentation layer). You will also have to re-implement existing funtionality in Flex/Lazlo if you don't use ofbiz screens. If you need to use a UI like flex I would isolate it to some key funtionality and try to use existing apps where possible.

Thank you. I've found the webapp element for the ecommerce and ecommerce clone websites. Where is the webapp for the travel demo? Mark
Re: Link Party
in the application I wrote for accepting real-time orders from a website, I have a service that is run to check different parms in the IP and address fields. It then sets the order to hold status if there are matches to the parms. this shows up in the order task list to be dealt with by a human.

Re: Link Party
Sorry, i didnot get that it was related for ecommerce duplicate entries. I need to prevent backend (mostly party manager) duplicate entries. And in this situation a warning generated from a seca precheck will be enough. I should go this way.

ofBiz for a Super Market
Hi all, Im getting ready to jump in OfBiz to build a supermarket E-Store (Multi-Facility, Pick up-Delivery, recurrent Shopping lists, recipes). I've been reading alot on ofBiz this past week but i still need a confirmation for this issue. 1) Using the ofBiz Service Engine or any other form of API, is it possible to build a Rich UI ( Lazslo, Flex ...) on top of that API ? 2)Has anyone seen a Supermarket e-store built on ofBiz, because i didnt see one the the Project List It would be much appreciated to get an answer back. Thank you. -- Thomas Jiji

Re: Link Party
I did a pre-check (via SECA) that also asks for confirmation when a possible duplicate is detected. But like I said, I just can't absolutely prevent users from entering duplicates! Yes, the pre-check does help reduce instances of duplicates, since users are reminded about already existing records. At some point, we still need to reconcile duplicates caused by human error. I'm interested in this particular process. The case in discussion sounds like it has something to do with checkouts from ecommerce, where anonymous shoppers create multiple userLogins. No way we can tell the anonymous shopper this: "Hi, there's somebody else named Blah Bleh in our database. We'll show you all his details so you can kindly confirm if that is really you?"

Re: Link Party
dynamically assigned are usually only 256 so a class c scan is possible. if the Host is a DHCP server it could have many blocks. a lot of times for fraud checking, the normal data is changed, like name, phone, address. and we have customers that have more than one shipping address, phone so just comparing names can be a problem, like john smith.
