Re: Parent Company Functionality

[Rishi Solanki]

Dear James,
Please take a look at the PartyRelationship Data Model. Check the Internal
Organization role and party relationship types to better understand the
relationship among different parties.
In your case, you have organization as customer or purchaser, and its sub
organization may place the order. Ultimately, the order will be placed by
employee of the organization and/or sub organization. PartyRelationship
resolves this complexity as mentioned initially.

HTH!

RE: Customer Product ID Mapping

[james]

There can be several customers that have different IDs

So GZ-1000 in the system could be:

1234 customer a
5736 customer b
5275 customer c

etc

Need to be able to search by customers number and use it on the print
out for sales order

Hi James,

You can use "Internal Name" for your Internal Name and "Product Name" or
"Brand Name" for  the "customers product ID"

Team - We have a requirement that in some situations there is a need to

systems that allow you to over receive as well as over pack.  Is there a
way to do this OTB with Ofbiz?

Scenario 1  - Purchase Order for GZ-1000 quantity 100 but I need to
receive and pay for quantity of 105
Scenario 2 Sales Order GZ-1005 quantity 100 but I need to pack and
invoice quantity of 105

Is this possible OTB

Thanks,

Re: Customer Product ID Mapping

[Nicolas Malin]

This depends of your business context where and how you will use it.

Some ideas :

 * few suppliers but huge request to resolve products -> GoodIdentification
 * Products need more information how supplier works with its -> 
SupplierProduct
 * No special use just for information or huge switch Product and 
Supplier or Other -> extend ProductRole

[Deepak Nigam]

Hi James,

I am not sure if it is the best way, but you can use PartyAttribute table
to map customers with product.

Thanks & Regards

Parent Company Functionality

[james]

I would like to better understand the role functionality in Ofbiz as it
relates to Parent Companies

I have several customers in Ofbiz who order product under their own
account.  We also have their Parent Company who is responsible for all
of their child accounts Accounts Receivable.  Even though the child
accounts can place orders ...all Accounts Receivable needs to reside
under the Parent Account.  How would this be cnfigured in Ofbiz?

Thanks,

James

Customer Product ID Mapping

[james]

On the catalog tab I see the suppliers tab which is a good way to map
the suppliers product ID to our internal product ID.  What is the best
way to map a customers product ID to our product ID.  Is there a way out

OFBiz Community Days – November 2019

[Swapnil M Mane]

Hello all,

Hope you are doing well.

I would like to apologize to update you on such short notice on our
November Community day. Our this community day is starting from tomorrow,
and as you all aware it is the sequence of 5 days that form the Community
Days.
So, this community day is from *22nd** – 26th November.*

I am sorry to update you on such short notice, my notification system
doesn't work the way I expected it to work. :-/

If you are new to the concept of Community Days then please take a look at
the following wiki pages

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Community+Days

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Community+Days+Dates

Anyone can participate (and we would like to encourage as many people as
possible to do so :-)

If there is an OFBiz task or particular area that you would like to work on
then please see if you can set aside some time over the next few days to do
it. (Even an hour will help!)

Remember that you do not have to work on it alone, our Community Days are
also a chance to collaborate with others in the community.

Our Community Days are not only coding related, we would also like to do
some tidy up of our wiki and our project documentation.

*Testing, Review and Committing Patches*
Testing and applying patches is always an important area. Many contributors
from the community have provided patches for bugs and improvements but
before committing them we need to test to them.

Patches can become out of date very quickly meaning that if they are not
tested early enough then they can miss out on being included. We have a
large number of patches available so this could be a good opportunity for
test, review and commit.

*Documentation*
We know that our current documentation could be a whole lot better so any
contribution that helps us improve it is welcome.

*Jira Sprint*
I have created a Jira sprint "OFBiz Community Day (November 2019)" so
please add any Jira tasks when you are working on it.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=318=OFBIZ
(You will need Jira login to access above link).

This Jira Sprint helps us track and report on the work done during the
Community Days so please try to make sure your work is included.
To set the sprint on an existing issue, simply click on the "Edit" option
on the issue and select the sprint field.

We should add the Sprint in all the cases,
1.) If we create a ticket we should add it.
2.) If we start working on an existing ticket (adding patch or closing it
after a commit) we should add sprint if it is missing.

Basically adding Sprint will make sure the contribution will be counted in
OFBiz community days event, which is from 22nd – 26th November.
At the end of November's OFBiz Community day i.e. after 26th November.
This will help us in reporting.

*OFBiz Slack Channel*
If you haven't already taken a look, our OFBiz Slack channel is available
all the time but can be especially useful when collaborating during our
Community Days event. Please join our room using the link below:
https://s.apache.org/ofbiz-slack-channel

To chat with users and developers of Apache OFBiz. Please create a Slack
account using this invite link  and join
the *#ofbiz channel*.  Please do
*not* ask OFBiz questions/discussion in the #general channel.

Let's work together to improve OFBiz, have fun and enjoy working together.

Best regards,
Swapnil M Mane,
