Scott, If you're doing it for your own use, licensing issues shouldn't be an obstacle. As for integrating stuff with OFBiz, in short: You can, just because it's open source! I've integrated many stuff into OFBiz already. Right now, the Widget module we have works very much like Windows UIs. L

Hi Scott, Following is my input: 1. With reference to integrating ofbiz with 3rd party application it won't be very hard as its purely and SOA architecture and provides you multiple ways of integration and in particular with Zimbra it should be pretty easy. If you use zimlets kind of integratio

as a independent consultant, I add many features to ofbiz. its core is substantial. I have clients that are adding custom stuff almost monthly. Like interfacing to Shipper, suppliers directly for order processing. as far as mail, ofbiz uses java mail to get emails. as of yet there is no email like

Scott, I think what you are looking for is what the java portlet API (JSR 168) tries to address. Rather than trying to make one monolithic application, the portlet API lets you integrate many disparate apps. Applications that are portlet API compatible will run smoothly and seamlessly a

Actually it kind of does feed back into OFBiz... The intention was to use the applet to talk to the scale, and then take the result and put it in a form on the HTML page, which would then get submitted to the web app server. -David On Apr 5, 2007, at 6:02 AM, BJ Freeman wrote: Walter:

Walter: The Scale applet as it is in the code, basically shows the scale reading, to the user. it does not feed that information back into ofbiz. It has a default value built in if the scale is not connected. it needs a lot of work if you want to have it interactive with ofbiz. I changed it to an a

This assessment appears to confirm that OFBiz does the rounding this way: Rounding line items to three digits, then rounding each line item result to two digits, then add them up. This is different than what David says is the VAT practice of rounding line items to three digits, adding them up,

So the difference here is: 1. Round before totaling or 2. Round after totaling. Can OFBiz be set to do either, or only one? Chris Howe wrote: The only way I can get 13.57 tax is to round to three digits, then round to 2 digits for each line then add them up. 1. 6.2545 (real) -> 6.255 -> 6.2
