Promotional Print Company

[james]

Anyone have any experience with print promotional companies that have
the following process

1. Enter RFQ from the customer
2. Convert RFQ to a Quote and call vendors and send Request for Purchase
Quote to Vendors
3. Update the quote with their Purchase Quote from all Vendors.  Select
Vendors per product
4. Convert Quote to an Order and at same automatically create a Purchase
Order to Vendors based on the selection from #3
5. Production Order created based on Sales Order (Configuration Item)
6. After production marry Inventory Item ID to the correct Sales Order


Thanks,

James

Re: "Bolting on" a WordPress app to OfBiz

[Rishi Solanki]

Hi Andrew,
Here you have two options as you already mentioned and both have advantages
and todos.

   - Expose all OFBiz services to interact with wordpress. and keep the
   ecommerce site on wordpress.
   - Advantage: You will have content/theme managed already working website.
  - TODOs: You need to know all the services and business. Also need to
  find a way to expose and data interaction point at both side. Data
  migration is another work needs to be done. Running two system
in parallel.
  - Rewrite the ecommerce website in the OFBiz.
   - Advantage: You will have the theme managed website but not as smart as
  wordpress to manage but on single platform.
  - TODOs: Ecommerce site rewrite and url redirects needs to be managed.

In either case data migration would be required from wordpress to OFBiz. I
would suggest to go with rewriting the ecommerce site on top of OFBiz. This
will help to take OFBiz as is, with comparatively less efforts including
testing.

As of now I do not know if Sanity around wordpress bolting exists in OFBiz.
