Why not now :-) ?
Because we are building a universal and generic ERP system and not "The
Matrix" :-)
And there are *huge* advantages of limiting our scope to some
assumptions: OFBiz, as an ERP system, can be used by a Company, with
many divisions under it (possibly playing various roles in the supply
chain) etc... but where you can pretty clearly identify who are the
suppliers, the customers, the agents etc... (and combinations of
these) what are purchase orders and what are sales orders.
That really is the crux of my question. What are the _huge advantages?
I'm sure you can think of many existing services that would require much
more code to do the same things with the new data model; just think for
example at the MRP algorithm.
