This is a good idea, and an easy way to improve ecommerce with mostly
existing functionality.
I like #c personally... the most flexible and transparent/visible to
the customer.

Using the backend order entry application ("order" component), when
the user inits a sales order, if there is a sales agreement in place
between the company and the customer, then OFBiz displays a drop
down box that the user can use to select the agreement for the
order. If the agreement is selected, then it will be associated to
the cart/order (for example the terms from the agreement are
associated by default to the terms of the order, and also the
prices, if defined in the agreement, will override the default
product prices).
I would like to extend this to the eCommerce application: when the
customer enters the user/password in the ecommerce site, the system
will check if there are agreements in place and if they are found:
a) automatically set one agreement (if there are many, just use the
first one?) in the session/cart OR
b) display a drop down box similar to the one of the order component
OR
c) if there is more than one agreement display a drop down box
similar to the one of the order component but force the user to
select at least one; if there is just one agreement, notify the user
that the agreement will be used
What do you think about this stuff? My preference would be to
implement #c (or similar).
I'd like some feedback from you.
Thanks,
Jacopo
