> Key: OFBIZ-9330
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-9330
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: webpos
> Affects Versions: 16.11.01
> Environment: Testing under Linux/Fedora/PostgreSQL, but issue is
> agnostic to all of those.
> Reporter: Dan Stimits
> Priority: Major
>
> On a clean OfBiz install (e.g., in the case of using PostgreSQL I drop all
> tables and run "./gradlew 'ofbiz --load-data readers=seed'", or even
> "./gradew 'ofbiz --load-data readers=seed,seed-initial'", followed by adding
> admin) I am attempting to bring up a WebPOS for an actual store without using
> the sample data (sample data should not be in any audit trail, it's a bad
> idea).
> The following will detail steps, but the short story is that WebPOS cannot be
> opened until there is a POS terminal; a POS terminal cannot be added until
> there is a store (and perhaps not even then); a store cannot be added until
> there is an inventory facility; various facilities can be added, but none
> which qualify to fulfill "Inventory Facility Id". Perhaps the loss of
> interface to create these things was unnoticed due to having sample data (try
> to create the store and terminals manually which sample data would have).
> h3. The Long Steps (on a clean install with seed and seed-initial plus admin
> and no other additions):
> ./gradlew ofbiz
>
> Under the setup app I create Company (requires admin password update first,
> Party Id "Company" created by manually typing in info of a real company):
> https://localhost:8443/ofbizsetup/control/initialsetup
>
> Go to Catalog Manager->Stores, click New Product Store. *"Primary Store Group
> Id"* can't be selected or entered ("Not Applicable [_NA_]" is all that is
> there), the drop-down is empty other than "Not Applicable" (so I pick Not
> Applicable). Set Store Name to "Main Store". It isn't a demo store, and I
> don't know what the effect is, but I pick drop-down of "Is Demo Store" as
> "N". Everything else is unmodified and default. Click Update. Error rejects
> adding the store: "Inventory Facility Id Required".
>
> Summary 1: Store cannot be added via Catalog Manager until an *Inventory
> Facility Id* is created.
>
> I switch now to Applications->Facility Manager. "Main" or "Facilities" is
> only for searching, not for adding a Facility. This is where the prior email
> reply mentions to do this under Asset Management, but Asset
> Management->Facility is also only for searching, not for creating a Facility.
> Perhaps it is a Fixed Asset?
>
> Summary 2: The required *Facility Id* of Summary 1 cannot be added under
> Applications->Facility Manager. Asset Management->Facility is also a search
> mechanism, and cannot be used to add the required facility.
>
> Under Fixed Asset I can click "New Fixed Asset". Is it "Real Estate",
> "Property", or "Other"? Real Estate is chosen since it is most descriptive
> (Property might be a tract of land, Real Estate is more specific since it
> implies a building on the land). When I get to RoleType ID I am convinced
> this is not the correct place to create a facility.
>
> Summary 3: I can add a new fixed asset, but it does not seem to give me a
> *Facility Id*. Perhaps I missed a detail.
>
> Under Applications->Facility Manager->Facility Groups I can click "New
> Group". The only part I can logically add is Facility Group Name, and I add
> "Retail Facility" in that text entry box. This fails. Although nothing is
> marked as mandatory, submitting this requires a currently missing parameter,
> *"createFacilityGroup.facilityGroupTypeId"*. I don't really know if the
> Facility type is Management Structure, or if it is Pricing Group, but it
> seems Management Structure is more logical for a structure serving a
> store...I pick this. It works, I now have a Management Structure with
> Facility Group Name "Retail Facility". I don't have a *Facility Id*.
>
> Summary 4: I can add a Facility Group, but I'm unsure how to use this to
> create a Facility. I don't believe this is the right approach.
> There is no clear way to satisfy creation of the entire series of
> prerequisites...I'm guessing that interfaces to do this were dropped at some
> point and it wasn't noticed. To illustrate testing I suggest a clean install
> with just seed and seed-initial, followed by attempting to add a retail store
> and WebPOS terminals similar to the demo data. I don't believe it can be done
> without hand editing XML files or SQL tables. If not possible, then only
> businesses without retail terminals can use the software.
