Anil,
Thanks for your reply.
Jocopo,
As was clear in my message to Anil, I was soliciting
him to collaborate with me. I am already implementing
it in my deployment as the OOTB treatment of these
entities are inconsistent with my industry. Whether
that effort would be contributed is a moot point.
As I see it, if I were to attempt to contribute it to
the community project, it would have to handle the
feature set that is currently offered and expand on
it. That is quite a large task to do on ones own as
the current feature set has taken years and several
people's involvement to accomplish.
As far as posing the use case it was simply used to
demonstrate a common scenario that the non generic
approach doesn't handle ideally.
This is an example of why modularization is so
important in a generic business project like OFBiz.
The manufacturing process (IMO) shouldn't need to
depend on the accounting process, especially OFBiz
accounting. This approach would help loosen those
ties as well.
I did not intend for this to be a discussion of the
merits of the approach for the community. I was
simply soliciting Anil's help as he is currently
working on parts of OFBiz in this area. I would
however like to solicit anyone else's help who has or
would like to work in on this area. Thanks!
