Adrian,
Sounds good -- we are really just getting started with the
manufacturing component / work effort component. The trouble I am
running into (and this is pretty typical of working in any new ofbiz
area) is understanding the data model coupled with the standard
workflow. The UI tends to be CRUD based so it is difficult to figure
out what things I should be providing with each step of a standard
production run. The second problem is that we have last merged ofbiz
about six months ago, and it appears a number of enhancements have
gone into ProductionRunServices, so the behaviour I see in our
solution is different from what I see on ofbiz-trunk demo.
The things that are troubling my little brain now are ...
- why is there no option to assign a party to a routing task in a PRun
- it appears the changeProductionRunStatus and
changeProductionRunTaskStatus do not enforce the StatusValidChange
entity
- we not only have "assembly" of products but also "disassembly"; not
sure how I am going to do that ... logically it is just the inverse of
an assembly, so I may consider "producing" multiple products of type
RAW_MATERIAL from one or more FINISHED_GOODS
- from data modeling v2 it appears that a services business may work
with an "engagement" entity and/or a sub-class of order for "service
order" ... ofbiz has neither of these, so I am unclear on how I am
going to support straight service requests that have work effort
involved

Bob,
Thank you for the information. I will work on this issue this
weekend if no one beats me to it.
I am about to deploy Manufacturing where I work, so I'm learning it
as well. Maybe between the two of us we can get some documentation
on the Wiki and work out any kinks we encounter.
