[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-282?page=comments#action_12434746 ] Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-282: ---------------------------------------
I vote for. I will need something like that in some months... Very fast comment, not thought about an algorithm yet > Shipping Box Size and Weight estimator > -------------------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-282 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-282 > Project: OFBiz (The Open for Business Project) > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: ecommerce > Environment: new feature > Reporter: Daniel Kunkel > Priority: Trivial > > Moved from old jira - 669. Placeholder for the feature. > -- > Having gotten the USPS rate estimator working... I'm realizing that in order > for it to be useful we need to get an accurate estimate of which box will be > needed, and how much it weighs with packing materials. > Proposed Scheme > Add a new table for shipping boxes... > box id > height > width > depth > height uom > width uom > depth uom > --- > usable height > usable width > usable depth > usable height uom > usable width uom > usable depth uom > weight > weight uom > etc > --- > Algorithm... > 1.) Requires all products height >= width >= depth... or have the > dimensions ordered that way for algorithm > 2.) Find Maximum Height Width and Depth of any product > 3.) Calculate total shipping volume for all products > 4.) For all boxes in the above table, sort by usable volume that is greater > than total shipping volume. > 5.) Searching box by box, accept the first box that is large enough in every > dimension (max length, max width, max height). > 6.) Add the weight of this box to the product weight... and use this for > shipping. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
