Ron Wheeler commented on OFBIZ-5704:
------------------------------------
The discussion seems to be wandering a bit.
As an outsider it appears to me that there is general agreement of the need
- for lot numbers to uniquely identify a lot
- for a lot to have multiple lot numbers
- to be able to trace material and the origin of its components throughout its
lifespan
There seems to be a minor disagreement about how this should be implemented
internally.
I would hope that the screens and reports would look pretty much the same
regardless of database or entity structure.
However, it might be useful to have a comparison of use cases possible under
each implementation strategy to see if there is a significant benefit from one
over the other.
>From what I have gleaned from the parts of the discussion that dealt with the
>actual problem, I would want to be sure that the more complex data structure
>can be hidden from the end-user in the normal cases without losing the
>benefits of the more comprehensive design. If the additional functionality
>only helps very obscure use cases but makes the "normal" usage of lot numbers
>overly complicated for the data-entry person and management, that would be a
>consideration.
Can we get back to a serious discussion of the implementation since it does
seem to be an important problem for many industries in this day of wildly
popular litigation and great public and political enthusiasm for high
regulatory penalties.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5704
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: manufacturing, product, workeffort
> Affects Versions: Release Branch 11.04, Release Branch 12.04, Release
> Branch 13.07, Trunk
> Reporter: Pierre Smits
> Attachments: OFBiz-5704-Product-EntityModel-Lot.patch

>
> Rationale
> Lot or batch management affects two places, namely the outbound process (and
> its functionalities) and inbound.
> It is possible that multiple parties have the same ID for the batch or the
> lot. Howver, in current feature set there is no discrimination between lots
> from supplier A, supplier B, or even the primary (internal) company in OFBiz.
> Therefore the entity 'Lot' should be extended with another key, namely that
> of the partyId of the manufacturer (or supplier).
