I've gone ahead and have implemented the ability to lookup a Party by an External Id. The feature has been created in JIRA: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-382.
I wanted to get peoples opinion weather or not to display the "External Id" prompt in the party lookup form all the time or if this should only appear if some configuration setting is enabled for users of ofBiz that are using the External Id? Thanks, John
