Hi All, I invite you to join me and participate in an open discussion on the functioning and future of OFbiz via a teleconference on March 13, 2014. Share your thoughts and insights on how you feel it going and what you would like to see addressed in the project. Plus, it is a great opportunity t

Re: Why must production run task components be issued in descending order when associated with other tasks beside the first

Christian, What you are describing is creating an ad-hoc (blank) production run, where you add all the required components and resources (machines) prior to executing the production run. When doing a production run based on a recipe (BoM and production schema with tasks) you would assign a schema

Re: Reposting from David Jones on Moqui

Switching OFBiz to a different framework has been discussed in the past, and I brought up the subject again in a recent thread on the dev mailing list. At this time, there are some PMC members who are opposed to the idea, so I don't see any hope for switching to Moqui in this project. If anyon

Re: Reposting from David Jones on Moqui

Adrian, I think that you have summed up the situation in your succinct post - there are some service providers who are heavily invested in this project and it is their concern for their own interests that is guiding OFBiz. Someone new looking at OFBiz should lament the fact that so much applicatio

And BTW, I need to emphasize that I do not think the PMC has been selfish in their actions. They have added untold value to OFBiz.

Maybe we should separate passionate hyperbole from facts. There is no "old technology" in OFBiz. We keep the project up to date with the latest libraries. The project has always supported user-replaceable components, so if a portion of the OFBiz framework doesn't meet your needs, then you are
