[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-455?page=comments#action_12450583 ] Si Chen commented on OFBIZ-455: -------------------------------
I don't like this select up in the right hand corner for the following reason. What the right "context" is depends on the application. For accounting, it would be an internal organization. For facility, it would be a warehouse. For manufacturing, maybe a warehouse. For catalog manager, probably a product store. For order manager, also a product store for sales order entry but an internal organization for reporting purposes and for purchasing. For that reason, it really doesn't make sense to show the organization in the upper right hand corner for all applications or make it part of the base package API. By the way, Hans has been doing exactly this in opentravelsystems for a very long time. Why don't you take a look at how he does it, provided he doesn't mind sharing his great ideas? > Selecting active organization party > ----------------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-455 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-455 > Project: OFBiz (The Open for Business Project) > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Eriks Dobelis > Attachments: orgContext.diff, selectingOrganizationalContext.jpg > > > Idea is to provide possibility to select active organization party id, which > then could be used: > 1) to provide default in different components (e.g. in creating invoices, > payments, accounting transactions, etc.); > 2) in implementation of OFBIZ-118, i.e. to show or hide data based on the > active organization; > 3) to improve current Accounting/Companies/Admin so that organizationPartyId > is remembered throughout the session (if not changed). -- 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
