I am a business user who is using ofbiz to manage my business and serve my customers.
My "customer" has been recorded as a party in the system and this person sends us the PO. We follow normal steps to create and process the order i.e. by using ofbiz order manager and to avoid shipping charges we use standard shipping $0.00.
