Christian Carlow commented on OFBIZ-5420:
-----------------------------------------
Thanks for the info Pierre,
I intended this functionality to only exist for backend users.
The company's customers often send separate specs for each of the subcomponents
of assembled items and the company quotes each individually. In their current
system, when an assembled item is added to an order, the associated BOM
elements are automatically added for users to enter the price quoted. The
total price of the assembled item is calculated based on the total of BOM price
* totalquantity. I guess since the price is suppose to match the value on the
quote then this functionality should be extended to the quote app also. More
code would be needed to create the order from the quote so that the BOMs are
created correctly.
The BOM items must exist as order items in the company's current system because
its the way it determines work that needs to be done. The company uses a
ticket system that mixes functionalities that should be and are separated in
OFBiz. With that in mind, I suppose it really isn't necessary to allow
individual pricing of BOM elements on orders; but the price can be changed for
finish production on orders so I figured it should be applied to BOMs too.
Aside from separate BOM pricing, the patch also includes changes to handles
OFBIZ-5437 and OFBIZ-5440 in which it seems necessary to still show the BOM
elements on the order. These issues describe how OFBiz does not allow
multi-level variant product selections. In other words if I have a
GZ-OUTER-BASKET with Black and Silver color variations with BOM of 3
GZ-INNER-BASKET also with color variations, then I should be required to select
the color variations of the virtual BOMs. If different variations chosen cost
different amounts then it seems necessary to show the BOMs and their prices to
explain differences in variations.
