Flutter based frontend to possibly OFBiz for early adopters

[Hans Bakker]

Hi Community,

The open source Flutter ERP system GrowERP is now available in 
production. It is using Moqui as the back end in a multi company 
configuration. As a proof of concept the early versions of the system 
also is working with Apache OFBiz, check the Github repository 
.


We have currently 2 applications available for early access:

1. Administration
   This is the general basic ERP application showing all basic
   functions like employee/user/company-, CRM, product-,order
   management, warehouse, e-commerce and accounting.
   The same application is available on the following platforms:
   * Browser: https://admin.growerp.com
   * Google Android: Play Store
   
   * Apple IOS: App Store
   
2. Hotel
   This is the first specialized application where the functions of
   administrator are adapted and have a room registration and
   availability management added as the main menu.
   Also this app is available on the 3 platforms:
   * Browser: https://hotel.growerp.com
   * Google Android: Play Store
   
   * Apple IOS: App Store
   

Everything in a easy to use system, available as open source using 
Flutter  as the front end and Moqui 
 as the backend. All together in a single 
repository at the GitHub  platform 
for evaluation, issue reporting and contributions.


If you like to be informed about the system both from an end-user and 
technical implementation point of view subscribe to our weekly 
mailinglist

Hello Hans,

On the Reademe.adoc :


== Quick start

To quickly install and fire-up OFBiz, please follow the below
instructions from
the command line at the OFBiz top level directory (folder).

[[download-the-gradle-wrapper]]
=== Download the Gradle wrapper:

MS Windows: `init-gradle-wrapper`

Unix-like OS: `./gradle/init-gradle-wrapper.sh`


This came from the need to delivery the release source code without
binary as the ASF recommand.

Re: Use OfBiz features trough REST, SOAP or the like?

[Hans Bakker]

Hi Marius

please have a look at GrowERP: https://github.com/growerp

a Flutter ERP frontend  for Moqui and for an older version also OFBiz 
using the REST interaface.


Everything Open Source: Enjoy!

We could avoid the whole backend ui adjustments then and use a SPA 
instead

ofbiz account on hub.docker.com was: OFBiz Community Days - November 2020

[Hans Bakker]

Hi Daniel,

I started a similar activity about 3 years ago and created and used the 
ofbiz account on hub.docker.com.


if you are ready to start an official ofbiz image there, i can hand over 
the account to you or anybody within the PMC,

Hi Eugen,

I'm very interested in running Ofbiz in Docker and have a few experiments
underway.

Please see a recent message on the dev mailing list with a branch to
builder docker images -
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r40fd679818a37e113b469add51755b1097a2b02d3961e71a2cfe928d%40%3Cdev.ofbiz.apache.org%3E

The approach in the branch referred to in above mailing list thread is to
build the currently checked out workspace. This has been particularly
useful for me when testing.

Also check out https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10407 where
approaches making use of a Dockerfile where ofbiz sources are retrieved
from the repo as part of the docker build process.

I prefer the approach of building the currently checked out environment -
but I'm biased :)

Also see this docker-compose configuration which builds a docker image to
operate alongside a Postgres database. -
https://github.com/danwatford/docker-postgres-ofbiz

To move this forward I think we need the ofbiz committers to signal a
preferred direction and then we can collectively focus on that and get
closer to publishing some official images.

Cheers,

Dan.

Hi,

I would like to joint he OFBiz Community days and focus on two things:

I would love help feedback on the above.
My plan is to work on his for this week.

Re: Shorten the order fulfillment processs

[Hans Bakker]

Hi Georg,

i was wondering if you considered proposing the customer to change the 
way of working? It will show several advantages :


1. We take the orders by phone and generate a delivery note from that.
>>  enter directly in the system as an order so inventory can already 
starting to prepare the order with involvement of the driver.


2. Our driver picks the goods from our storage and delivers them to the 
customer.
>> your driver can check on mobile if there are orders to be delivered 
and goes to inventory to collect the already prepared order.


3. When he returns with a signed delivery note from the customer, we 
enter the delivery note into the ERP system.
>> driver Just marks the order in the system as delivered, everythng 
else already in the system


4. The ERP system takes a look at the agreement details for the customer 
including his price and generates an invoice which is sent in the mail.

>> can stay the same

Regards,

Hans

I hope this question will open in a new thread.

We are planning to replace our old ERP system with an OFBiz based system. 
However, we currently have a different process than the one described in the 
wiki page OFBIZ/Order+Fulfillment+Process+Overview

We take the orders by phone and generate a delivery note from that. Our driver 
picks the goods from our storage and delivers them to the customer. When he 
returns with a signed delivery note from the customer, we enter the delivery 
note into the ERP system. The ERP system takes a look at the agreement details

This does not seem to fit the process described in the wiki page. How can we 
use OFBiz to fit our existing process?

discussion:provide official docker image of Apache OFBiz?

[Hans Bakker]

Good morning,

Shouldn't we provide a official docker image in hub.docker.com as most 
open source projects do?


This could ease the installation of ofbiz, even with including the 
dependencies which is possible with gradle >3.5


To already prepare, I reserved the ofbiz username .

If you want my opinion, just download the cache and save it to your image.
Who cares about size, this is an end product image, nothing to be used in a
chain.

So just have a gradlew command to build and load inside your Dockerfile.
Remember the cache is simply replacement to the old jars that existed with
the code base. This is now how most modern software works and it is
becoming less and less common for projects to carry dependencies in the
code base.

Now regarding your comment about username and server, there are many tweaks
you can make to gradle. Check the command line documentation [1]. For
example you can relocate the cache location using the --gradle-user-home
flag. Also generally in docker things are very much dependent on userne,
that's a docker thing, not a gradle thing.

Hi Taher, thanks for your support.

My problem was caused by the unavailability of the gradle cache by using
the java -jar command. This means that his cache is part of the system
execution and is not just used to build the system. I also found it cannot
be created offline, it looks like it is dependent on the username and
server?

I have the docker image working now according your recommendations:

Within the docker container I run the ofbiz system as user root and persist
the directory /root/.gradle

This means however that the first startup of the container requires the
full download of all dependencies.

Conclusion:
1. it is not possible to create an ofbiz production system locally and
install it in a production environment. It needs to be build in place of
production.

2. The gradle cache is part of the system code, the system will not run
without it.

It would be much better if we could build the system offline, create the
docker container which should run without rebuilding and the gradle cache.
This is what a docker container is used for?

Oh .. that would be hard to debug without further analysis. Essentially
Java is not seeing libraries in the classpath. The classpath is defined
_inside_ the jar file with pointers to where the gradle cache is located.

So it could be many things, maybe you did not make a first run with gradle
to download the cache, or maybe you have different users inside the
container each with their own cache directory. Another possibility is that
you mounted a volume on top of the downloaded cache.

Re: Alternative UI: Vaadin proof of concept

[Hans Bakker]

Hi Michael,

The main advantage i see is that Vaadin is like ofbiz screens/forms in 
that you do not need to know css/html/javasccript to create an 
application, but Vaadin is developed much further having much more 
add-ons. Further Vaadin has a much larger user base.


They both have limitations in the html layout although in Vaadin they 
are much less of a disadvantage.


A further advantage is that it is possible to convert from ofbiz 
screens/forms to Vaadin so we do not have to re-create the 2000+ 
screens/forms we have, not sure about bootstrap?


As I see it Bootstrap is a further development of the ofbiz 
screens/forms which functions however are currently already available in 
Vaadin but allows you full flexibility of the html interface which you 
do not have in  Vaadin.


So in my opinion both Bootstrap and Vaadin have their pros/cons.

More opinions on the internet, search for 'Why Vaadin'

Regards,
Hans

Re: Alternative UI: Vaadin proof of concept

[Hans Bakker]

Seeing that we get now more interest in this activity I can report that 
we already made the demo version working with Groovy instead of Java for 
the Vaadin screen definitions. This allows to change the OFBiz screens 
and without restart show the generated Vaadin screens.


our current list of activity, yes, we need help:
1. use the Valo theme for the demo.

2. use the OFBiz controller.xml for Vaadin requests

3. retrieve data using OFBiz Groovy dsl

4. Complete the ftl macro file so we can generate Vaadin screens from 
OFBiz screens/forms


Yes the current demo you can still clone from the GIT repository at:
https://gerrit.antwebsystems.com/#/admin/projects/vaadin-test
and use on the ofbiz-framework trunk which you can find at the SVN 
repository at:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/ofbiz-framework/trunk

https://gerrit.antwebsystems.com/#/admin/projects/import-export
https://gerrit.antwebsystems.com/#/admin/projects/importexport

not sure what the difference is but it contains an order import/export 
function next to a data conversion tool to import any data into ofbiz...

Hello All,

First I would like to give huge thanks to the Apache OFBiz community for
developing such an amazing framework. I have started learning and have some
questions in mind related to the order creation.Here it is:

Does OFBiz have support for order import and export using CSV?

-  If yes Is there any defined schema available?
-  If no What will be the suitable schema design for CSV?




Thanks in advance, any guidance will be helpful for me to move forward.


Thanks & Regards

visit the Netherlands for OFBiz, GrowERP and related enterprise software

[Hans Bakker]

Good morning!

Just to inform you that I will be visiting the Netherlands from may 23 
until June 5. We created a representation of AntWebsystems in the 
Netherlands and are interested in informal meetings regarding Apache 
OFBiz, our system GrowERP, related enterprise software and software 
development (Scrum/Kanban) and devops in general.


Let me know if you are interested, so i can set a date/time/location for 
you. No need to answer here in the mailing list just sent to

Re: Multiple Subsidiaries in OfBiz

[Hans Bakker]

Good morning!

Let me share our experiences running ofbiz in a ofbiz tenant environment 
with completely independent companies in separate databases.

We did this for about 2-3 years where we patched ofbiz to have:
1. multiple url's for a single tenant
2. add tenants without restart
3. a number of menus to add/disable tenants, delete and reload data and 
make and restore backups.
4.We also had a way to enable certain components in hot-deploy for a 
specific tenant.


This tenant component is not maintained any more but is still available 
at: https://gerrit.antwebsystems.com/#/admin/projects/tenant


However, although it worked, it needed a lot of maintenance and 
monitoring and got too complicated.


So, we now switched to a docker environment where we use ofbiz in a 
docker container which is used in demo and production. Every company has 
its own ofbiz docker image which is automatically built and installed in 
production from Git once a day when there were changes in the 
repository.(our GrowERP continuous everything platform) Now it is much 
easier to have specific changes for specific companies. Further scaling 
application servers is now much easier.

This is now running for over a year and is much easier to maintain.

All software required to run this setup is open source and can be found 
at our gerrit.antwebsystems.com git repository as source; compiled 
versions at https://www.growerp.com/control/main?contentId=GROWERP_DEMO

Hi James

At one point the standard OFBiz demo had demo data that was that of a global 
parent company with multiple subsidiaries. We decided it was a bit too 
complicated a setup for most people so simplified the demo data to be a lot 
simpler (i.e a single company).

This means that somewhere in our SVN there are some demo data files that could 
help you if you are having problems setting things up.

Separate Vendors (CRM tied to a separate company)
Separate Customers (CRM tied to a seperate company
Sales Associates can be tied to multiple companies
Each company can fulfill from each others warehouse (intercompany

Should be able to invoice each other
Warehouses should be tied to a company

Re: OFBiz setup process can't be completed

[Hans Bakker]

As pierre already wrote, the setup will only properly work when loading 
only seed and seed initial data and then, only then, it will appear on 
the menu.Yes, the PartyAcctgPreference entity should be empty.


We have now a simplified one page setup version in the GrowERP backend 
which you can use. It should be compatible with OFBiz because GrowERP is 
following the OFBiz data model and has the same Apache license.


Installation of GrowERP at 
https://www.growerp.com/control/main?contentId=GROWERP_DEMO


The reason that we did not contribute it is, that it takes currently too 
much discussion and time to get enhancements in the core ofbiz system.


We will try a new upcoming enhancement to make the passport component 
also suitable for facebook and google+ hopefully it will get better.

I tried to use it in the trunk version of OFBiz but I met some problem

OFBiz with the Agile component but I encountered an other error coming
from an xml-resource link that was not moved to an other place.
I'll try the Agile component on an instance of GrowErp to test it further.


currently we use it mostly with growerpfrontend and growerpbackend which 
you can download at the same location (more info at growerp.com)

I understand the error message now, thanks : )
So we can update the planned hours at any given time ? Shouldn't the
estimation be done before the realization of task and the burn-down
chart updated with the 'actual hours' spend on the task ?


sure but when people see the planned hours are not enough it should be 
indicated as early as possible that more time is needed.

Re: Scrum task updating timesheet : actual hours > plan hours

The idea behind this that you should adjust the planned hours first so 
that it will be indicated in the burndown chart.


We further developed the ofbiz scrum component where you can do that 
within the time sheet. it is now called growerpagile and should still be 
compatible with the ofbiz trunk and still has the same license as ofbiz 
itself. It now also supports Kanban and continuous testing and deployment.


can be downloaded free from git at:

Subject: Re: Import of bank transaction/statement data, QIF ?

Thanks for the recommendation Jacques. The book doesn't cover importing bank
statements.(although there is a small appendix about importing data via the
webtools menu)

I think that if you want to look at importing a bank statement then an xml
import is the way to go (so if you can convert it to xml you can import it).
Effectively all you are doing is importing transactions.

The challenge you may have is going to be the format and linking with the GL
and other areas. I'd suggest you look at importing it as a financial account
bank account to start with. That way you can have a play around with the
different statuses and reconciliations available and posting the
transactions to the GL account you want.

It's been a while since I looked at it but I remember some functionality
around reconcilation that matches the closing balance of one reconciliation
against the following one, which would help as an ongoing balance check for
ongoing imports.

It's a bit hard to say much more without more information.

Anyway, hope this helps.

Re: Urgent Reminder: Talks Needed for OFBiz Track at Apachecon Core

[Hans Bakker]

Not sure what OFBiz has to do with Big data, but submitted my 
presentation anyway:


GrowERP-PAAS A software development platform including ERP based on 
Apache OFBiz


By combining a number of open source tools and connect them with Apache 
OFBiz, a platform was created to handle all operations in a software 
development company. GrowERP is an open source OFBiz component only 
showing a limited functionality of OFBiz using the standard database to 
be able to upgrade to the full system anytime without data conversion. 
Currently most open source companies are small and Apache OFBiz is just 
too big for them.


This combined with an open source OFBiz Scrum component, Jenkins, 
Git/Gerrit you have the complete platform for organizing a vendor branch 
of the product you represent, a staging environment updated daily and a 
fully automated production deployment. Methodologies supported are 
Scrum/Kanban with time registration and accounting with automated 
invoicing including full ledger capability.

constraints manually, due to a bug OFBIZ-6493)

I started digging into the finalizeOrder request chain.  I'd like to
capture these three pieces of data on the setBilling screen that is part
of finalizeOrder chain.  It appears I'd need to do some pretty heavy
lifting to augment this process, including modifying the ShoppingCart
class, etc.

Obviously someone has had to do this before, so just wondering if there
are any best practices to avoid modifying the Java classes.

Re: OFBiz Meetup in Amsterdam ?

[Hans Bakker]

It looks like it is too early for this kind of event.

I am currently setting up partnerships with small business consulting 
companies in the UK, Germany and the Netherlands and gave this a try to 
extend it into a small conference.


I went to the ApacheCon in Austin in the hope to do the same in the US. 
However you have to realize that ApacheCon is mostly for and by Apache 
people, not many other people will attend.


This European conference was worth a try, just to attract people outside 
of the Apache foundation, will try again next year.

interest. So let us know at supp...@antwebsystems.com if you intend to 
attend.

Budget/forecasting function in accounting

[Hans Bakker]

Good day,

we have a request from a customer to implement a full budget function 
into accounting of which the entered values should also appear on the 
standard PL and balance sheet of a specific organization. Yes this is a 
multi company accounting implementation.


Anybody any thoughts on this or would like to work with us? I did not 
not yet discuss this with our customer if this function can be 
contributed or not, i just would like to know if there is interest of 
the OFBiz users in general.


Because i will be visiting ApacheCon in Austin in 2 weeks, we could also 
discuss it there?

Re: Budget/forecasting function in accounting

[Hans Bakker]

Thank you all for your interest.

We plan to follow chapter 8 of the data model resource book vol 1. I 
hope you understand that we first have to find out what this customer 
requires, then generalize the implementation and then i can present the 
result if the customer agrees to contribute it. From that point on, 
comments on the implementation can be implemented. The planned 
implementation with the customer is June this year.


Now i see there is interest, I will keep you informed of any developments.

Hans

Apache ofbiz environment was: OFBiz workflow with activiti.org

[Hans Bakker]

Hi Ron, that would be a nice suggestion, however we do not want to work 
with svn anymore, further we use gerrit for peer review and the ofbiz 
scrum component for administration. We are also running jenkins with 
selenium for automated tests, this is all not possible in the apache 
ofbiz setup currently.


As long as Apache does not upgrade their working environment we are not 
interested developing this in the apache environment.We can use 
however the mailing list which at least has a forum in nabble...

Hi Rong,

The first work is integration, to create a hot-deploy component

OFBiz marketing linkedin group.

[Hans Bakker]

As you are aware i have created a linkedin marketing discussion group.
The url is : https://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=gid=6742050

My understanding is that in general, people of the ofbiz mailing lists 
are interested in the Apache OFBiz product and not so much in the 
marketing of the system. That is the main reason the linkedin group is 
separate. However may i ask you something? *Can you forward this url to 
the marketing and sales department in the company you are working for?* 
They may be interested taking part of the discussions.


The second reason is that , the last few weeks i have myself involved in 
the marketing aspect of OFBiz and found some interesting articles on 
this subject. I share these articles in this marketing group to not only 
have an open source system but also have 'open marketing' where 
marketing information is shared.


This email is just a notification, do not reply here but please enter 
your comments in the linkedin OFBiz marketing group.

Re: Currencies of invoice and payment not compatible - All the time

[Hans Bakker]

Hi Jacopo,

Thanks for your work on this. However i implemented it the following way:

1. The invoice is in the currency of the related party which can be 
foreign and can be shown in local currency by calculation, using the 
currency exchange table.
2. The payment is always in the local currency as received from the 
bank. (Reconciliation should be done in the ledger not payment?), if it 
was a foreign payment the foreign value is entered in the original 
currency field of the payment. When a payment is entered that way having 
two currencies, the currency table is updated accordingly using the 
invoice date so they always fully apply. This is wrong if you want to 
record loss/gain of exchange rate and should be a configurable option 
using either the invoice date or the payment date for the exchange rate.
This foreign invoice is entered in the ledger using in calculated local 
currency however recording the actual foreign currency in the original 
value in the ledger.


Matching invoices to payment should match the actual currency (not 
calculated) of the invoice with the actual value of the payment and when 
not the same use the original currency of the payment.


Regards,
Hans

Hi Adrian,

I am reviewing the code and I should be able to commit a fix soon.

Hans: could you please clarify the requirements that led you implement all the 
overly complicated code around actualCurrencyAmount and actualCurrencyUomId?
The intended purpose of these fields was clearly mentioned in the entity 
definitions since the beginning:
!-- The ActualCurrency amount and uomId are for the values coming from the bank 
(if known) and are to be used for reconciliation and such later, and not for 
PaymentApplication. --

According to this, in order to apply a payment to an invoice the following 
conditions must be met:
* Invoice.currencyUomId == Payment.currencyUomId == PaymentApplication currency
If the Payment was in a different currency than one of the invoice, the actual 
currency and amount (in the foreign currency) should be stored in the 
actualCurrencyAmount and actualCurrencyUomId (these fields are for information 
only); but the Payment.currencyUomId and Payment.amount fields should always be 
filled with the currency of the Invoice.

The question if it is a bug or not the following:

Do you ever need to create invoices in a currency other then your

need to create an Invoice in a different Currency? Since we can set the
currency of the invoice i do beleve that it is a bug. What do you think?

This patch fixes the problem, however i'm not able to predict it's further

Re: Currencies of invoice and payment not compatible - All the time

The system will check the currency of the invoice with the currency of 
the payment, or with the original currency of the payment.


If a match cannot be found, you will get this message

Hi Guys

Whenever i want to assign a payment to an invoice i get this error:

The Following Errors Occurred:
Currencies of invoice and payment not compatible

Thing is both, the invoice and the payment use the same currency: CHF. 
I can set the Is-Currency (Actual Currency) property for my payment 
and then i can assign it to the invoice but this seems unnecessary and 
it is not necessary when dealing with USD and the Demo Data.


I updated framework/common/config/genera.properties to set CHF as 
default currency.


Where would i change it so if no additional currency information is 
given, it takes the same currency as the payment?

Jacques,

I agree with you, we also not use it for an initial installation.

We use it however in a demo to potential customers, showing them the

then show the generated invoice and payment and the accounting trial

following documents:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Apache+OFBiz+User+List

After a cursory review of the content of these documents I would be

Here is the original code from ofbiz.rc script:

# If root is running this script, su to $OFBIZ_USER first
if [ $UID = 0 ]; then
exec su - $OFBIZ_USER -c $0 $1
fi

ANd what I have changed was change $0 to an absolute path of
/etc/init.d/ofbiz because otherwise it gave a no such file error. So now
it looks like:

# If root is running this script, su to $OFBIZ_USER first
if [ $UID = 0 ]; then
exec su - $OFBIZ_USER -c /etc/init.d/ofbiz $1
fi

it founds the service file but gives permission error.

Anyone faced this problem?

Thank you for your reply and the links provided. They sure can provide

OFBiz has the more liberal license than Mybanco where improvements do 
not have to be shared with the creators and the solid software 
development framework mybanco does not have. The last release was /23rd 
Jan, 2011 /so perhaps they need some competition?


In the mean time we are now talking to 2 banks about using OFBiz for 
accounting and HR.


However, this will be a long journey because banks have a long tradition 
which cannot be changed easily.

Re: Why is a bogus Payment and OrderPaymentPreference created for Purchase Orders

[Hans Bakker]

Hi Skip, not sure if added it, because running accounting s pretty 
cumbersome if you have to create manually  payments and payment 
application for the automatically generated invoice. It is much easier 
to amend the automatically generated ones if required.


If i remember well there is a property setting if you do not want to 
generate the payment automatically?

Hans

There is this seca:

 -condition-field field-name=statusId operator=not-equals
to-field-name=oldStatusId/-
 -action service=createPaymentFromOrder mode=sync persist=true-
-eca-


If the order is approved and it is a purchase order, the service
createPaymentFromOrder is called which creates a payment and a
OrderPaymentPreference amoung other things.

This is causing me some problems because when the order is received, an
invoice is created by InvoiceServices.createInvoiceForOrder and around line
776 is this line:

 ListGenericValue orderPaymentPrefs =
delegator.findList(OrderPaymentPreference,
EntityCondition.makeCondition(paymentPrefConds, EntityOperator.AND), null,
null, null, false);


This returns the above created OrderPaymentPreference and a
PaymentApplication is created for the payment created above.

There is a bug in this code that miscalculates the amount to apply and I get
errors like:

Error in service [createPaymentApplication] Tried to apply [692.5] which is
greater than the outstanding amount [623.25] of invoice [62741].

Now, I dont really care about this bug.  In my view, the Payment and
OrderPaymentPreference should not have been created.  In version 9.x, this
seca did not exist.

My question is what is the purpose?  No payment was ever received, it is a
completely bogus one.

I have commented out the seca and am in the process of writing a service to
remove all the payments, applications, and OrderPaymentPreference created by
the above seca.

I am just wondering what the logic here was.

Re: Why calculation of Sales tax or VAT service (CalcTax) need ProductId?

[Hans Bakker]

Hi Adrian,

sorry to come back on this but we need this for invoices not related to 
orders but related to time entries which are generated by the project 
manager or scrum component.


Sure they will work, because it will use the general default which is in 
general fine for us. If not good enough it can easiliy be adjusted on 
the generated entry.


This is a user problem, now the user has to calculate it manually which 
is prone for errors.

introducing accounting segments

[Hans Bakker]

(OFBiz) accounting experts: I need you opinion!

We have the possibility here to be able to introduce Apache OFBiz 
accounting in a large multi company organization. This organization is 
evaluating the several alternatives and after evaluation of OFBiz, came 
up with a function which OFBiz needs to have, in order to be considered.


The user story:
Although OFBiz accounting has the 'costcenter' function, it is not 
fine-grained enough, we need to be able to segment the ledger to a lower 
level that the GL accounts namely to the accounting transaction.. 
Further, all existing reports should have the facility to be able to 
select a segment of the ledger for either costing, profit or other 
purposes like special projects.


The proposed user interface.
We need at least at the order item level the ability to specify a 
parent-segment/segment and a percentage, if the percentange is not 100% 
the remainder to 100% should be assigned to another segment.
These segments can be defined and assigned by the user to the order item 
upon entry. When the related invoice is created the segment(s) will be 
copied and can overridden before posting when these segment names will 
be copied to the accounting transaction.


The proposed user reporting.
All existing ledger reports will have the additional ability to select 
these segments and will only incorporate accounting transactions where 
this segment is specified.


The proposed technical implementation.
1. add a new entity called LedgerSegment with fields: ledgerSegmentId, 
parentSegmentId, description
2. add another 3 similar entities: OrderItemSegment, InvoiceItemSegment, 
AcctTransSegment to make the relation to the LedgerSegment entity and to 
specify the percentage.
3. Change the order, invoice, accounting transaction screens and ledger 
report entity views to be able to use the segment names when available 
in the LedgerSegment entity


As i said , please let me know what you think, this is a great 
opportunity for OFBiz accounting.

Re: operating a single OFBiz with multiple companies.

[Hans Bakker]

sure we can follow the suggestion of Adrian to setup a organizational 
context, and even, that separate companies could have different base 
currencies if we see the definition in the PartyAccountingPreference 
entity. Pretty sure that OFBiz does not allow that everywhere in the 
application. The rollup subledger in accounting does not do that yet and 
probably other places too when there are inter company transactions.


We need to setup that the defaultOrganizationParty is used as a 
condition everywhere on every list, like invoices, payments, orders 
shipments etc and the accounting sub ledger rollup will make currency 
conversions to the currency of the top company where required.


any other suggestions welcome

Hans

we just get 2 requests in from customers who ask the question if they 
can use a tablet for a POS (point of sale) or cash register for a 
physical shop.


If we could make this work using the WEbPOS from OFBiz, add local 
storage and sync for product and customers and orders (to use the POS 
off-line when internet goes down) and either use the camera or external 
barcode scanner and a wifi network printer could do the job .


This would significantly simplify and reduce the physical shop 
investment for IT.


Anybody interested? let me know so we could together on this subject?

Regards,
Hans

Re: Remove Menu Items

[Hans Bakker]

Sure can do, however the ap/ar can still be reached by typing in the url.

So, why not add some security rules to achieve what you want and create 
a jira for it?


An excellent chance to become an OFBiz contributor!

Hi Hans, There is a concern for the case, since no specific permission exist 
for AR/AP components, the base permission is ACCOUNTING.
Admin want to display Accounting but not AR and AP.
Therefore for such cases, Is setting up the value of app-bar-display to 
false could considered as preferable solution?

Re: Remove Menu Items

[Hans Bakker]

make sure the user does not have the security permissions for it.

then it will not appear and he cannot even get it when he knows the url.

 Hello
 I created an Image content for a product. There is a record in table 
 'Content' whose field 'statusId' is 'IM_APPROVED'. I changed the value of 
 the field from IM_APPROVED to IM_REJECTED, but the image is still visible, 
 the status seems not to work. Meanwhile, I find the status about content, 
 for example, CTNT_AVAILABLE, CTNT_FINAL_DRAFT, CTNT_INITIAL_DRAFT and so on, 
 don't  work, I change the status of a warn to CTNT_DEACTIVATED, but it is 
 still visible. Is the function about status of contents incomplete ?

Re: missing data records from webtools in component and tenantcomponent entities

[Hans Bakker]

Hi Black bird!

You may have a look at https://backend.ofbizdemo.com/webtools 
(user=admin password = ofbiz)


This version is running under the GrowERP tenant system and only allows 
access to its own tenant records, not the other tenants.


Yes this GrowERP tenant addition is also open source under Apache 2.0 
and can be downloaded if you send per email your linkedin url and 
provide a public ssh key to supp...@growerp.com

Hans.

Thanks for your answer.  I've come across that JIRA issue many times.
  There is currently no resolution to that issue to my knowledge, and the
only workaround being to disable the webtools application for tenants.

The issue I'm raising in this thread is different however, relating to the
Component and TenantComponent entities, rather than the Tenant and
TenantDataSources entities of JIRA 4130.  Even if a multitenant offering
disabled webtools for a tenant as suggested by Hans, the provider would
presumably still wish to utilise webtools with a main non-tenant admin
login (i.e. tenantId=null).

I can answer my own last question.  Entries can be added into the
'component' entity using 'ant load-seed' process.

The first question on data records from the component and tenantcomponent
entities not being visible through webtools still holds however.  Does
anyone experience this behaviour?

You could be interested by this Jira
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4130

I've been grappling with the multitenant capabilities of Ofbiz on

versions

11.04, 12.04 and trunk.  I've realised that the 12.04 fork and trunk

have

introduced new entities 'component' and 'tenantcomponent' which I'm

trying

to learn how to utilise.

What I've found strange is that on attempting to list the values of

these

two entities from webtools, only any record with the ComponentName

equal to

'webtools' is visible.  On the other hand, if you log into the database
directly using ij, all the components can be seen using a select

statement

from the 'component' table, and any records entered manually into the
'tenantcomponent' table.

Also, by default, the 'find' screen for both these entities normally

comes

up with the 'ComponentName' field already populated with 'webtools'.
  Although the field can be emptied or replace with other component

names,

only the record pertaining to webtools can be returned.

Is this a case of some hard-coding of ComponentName or am I missing
something?

I'm using trunk r1439737 and 12.04 r1435045.

I'm also unclear whether new components should be manually added to the
'component' entity or should this happen automatically.
