Re: OFBiz Documentation Team Volunteers Needed
Hi Taher Good idea! I remember we had one to help kickstart the refactoring and it worked well. It's probably going to have to be a Hangout since Skype has stopped working for me. I will start a new thread asking our documentation team people to highlight their timezone so we can start planning for the call.

Re: Aw: Re: Re: webshop - selecting an item
Hi Siegfried I'm not sure what is happening that it won't let you search for the product id and without your actual setup it will be difficult to replicate. For the pricing - it maybe that you don't have a List Price setup for the product. I think you need to have a List Price setup as this is the main price used to calculate any discounts or promotions. When you create a price for a product the default price type is the Default Price not the List Price. You can have multiple prices on the product but you will need a product list price. Try adding a List Price for your product and see if that helps.

Location Sequence ID Is Not in Order
Team - Our warehouse is labeled B-6L-1-A-5 which is Area-Aisle-Section-Level-Position 6L is aisle 6 left side and we have a 6R on the right side. The idea is the picker walks up one side of the aisle and then back up the other side of the aisle. I noticed that based on this naming convention the system is not putting the location sequence ID in the correct order for proper picking in the warehouse. Is there a way to update the sequence that the system uses for picks if the location sequence ID is not correct? Thanks, James

Aw: Re: Re: webshop - selecting an item
Hi Sharan, no problem and thanks for the information, which helped me one step further. It is now possible to select the item, but not by using the ID. I have to select the item by using the product name. Now there is another problem. The system says, that there is no selling price available and for this reason the selected item cannot be displayed in the cart. I am wondering, because I have assigned a selling to this item. https://localhost:8443/catalog/control/EditProductPrices?productId=10001 Do you have another idea, what I probably have forgotten to do?

Hi all, I am using ofbiz 16.11.04. I have created a customer and have chosen him in order to sell and item. The item has a sufficient stock quantitiy (assigned to the Web Store Warehouse ), but cannot be selected using the product search. What I have to do, to make it possible to sell this item? Thanks.

Re: OFBiz MRP & Manufacturing: subcontract-work
Hi Giulio (I'm still having intermittent issues responding to this mailing list! So am sending this response again) I'm glad that my book was helpful! So yes you can allocate a specific routing task to a party (so this could be an external contractor). If you simply want to send them the wood and then book it into stock when it comes back (or give them access to the system to book it in when they are finished), that works. It also depends on how you want to track the costs of their work. Do you want to track their work costs as part of the production process ? (so you can estimate what their bill will be?) or do you trust them to bill you correctly for the work they do? If you want to track the potential costs as part of the production run then you could look at setting up some costing that is based on the time spent for the routing (e.g. rate per minute or hour etc). As part of completing their work, they would need to record how much time they spent working on it. You could then use the estimated cost to cross check against the actual invoice sent by the subcontractor. Hope this helps.

OFBiz MRP & Manufacturing: subcontract-work
Hello everyone! I'm writing because I would need some clarifications about MRP and Manufacturing, in particular with the process of subcontract-working. I read Sharan's book on the argument, it's really well made, but I would need some extra details. Reading the book I understood that, in the process of manufacturing a finished good (a table for example), a list of task can be set up, each representing a specific step required to make the finished good. Now, I am focused on that tasks that can be subcontracted to an external worker. Using the example of building a table: one of the tasks of the process, could be my company X that supplies wood to an external worker Y, that cut it and give back to me the finished wooden board. Then my company can proceed with the other manufacturing tasks. At the end, the external worker Y should bill the total cost of his working process to my company X. Is that correct or I missed something? Has anybody had to handle sub-contract work with an external supplier with OFBiz in a similar scenario? Thanks in advance to all for help, Kind Regards, Giulio -- Giulio Speri *Mp Styl**e Srl* via Antonio Meucci, 37 41019 Limidi di Soliera (MO) T 059/684916 M 334/3779851 www.mpstyle.it
Re: [Documentation] test conversion from docbook to asciidoc
Hi Olivier Thanks for already getting started! You are right that there is a lot of information in the online help that could help us with the general documentation. So just to be clear, we are not looking to update the online help at this stage, but only use the content from it that will help us create OFBiz documentation that includes a complete User and Technical Guide. We have quite a bit of documentation sitting in our one of our old workspaces: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/End+User+Documentation so rather than mess up the wiki that Michael has organised into a very nice structured format we could use the OFBENDUSER workspace instead. All the documentation in the OFBENDUSER workspace needs to be reviewed anyway and part of it was linked to the online help system too. So this could be a way of centralising everything we are going to work on and review in one place. There are a few things that the Documentation Team will need to discuss, things like the organisation, planning, communication etc - but let's get the basic setup stuff done first, then we can start talking about how to approach it all :-) Thanks Sharan On 2018/02/11 11:42:16, Olivier Heintzwrote: > Hi Jacques, > > I have tested docbookrx convertion with HELP_ACCOUNTING_agreements.xml and > the files mentioned in it and generate html with ./gradlew > publishDocumentation > All the generated files seem correct, adoc and html. > > When it will be a place (choosen by Documentation Team) to put files to work > on, I will put them. > > In the generate file HELP_ACCOUNTING_agreements.html, there is no anchor > defined and we will need it if we need contextual link, > so now, I will try to find the good asciidoc syntax for that. > > Olivier > > Le 10/02/2018 à 11:21, Jacques Le Roux a écrit : > > Hi Olivier, > > > > I read at https://github.com/asciidoctor/docbookrx that > > "This converter is far from perfect at the moment and some of the > > conversion is done hastily.

Re: OFBiz Documentation Team Volunteers Needed
Hi All Wow! â thanks everyone for such a great response. It's nice to see that we have people in the community that are ready and willing to help :-) And don't worry if you don't think you know very much â we will all learn something as part of the process. This is exactly what being part of a community is about! I have created a new wiki page called Documentation Team https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Documentation+Team that is a little empty at the moment, but we can use it to brainstorm ideas and plan our work. One of the first things that all of you will need to do, is to ensure that you are setup as an OFBiz Contributor. You can find out how to do this at the link below: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Apache+OFBiz+Contributors So if you haven't done so already, please get an ICLA completed and then we be able to setup the access you will need for our wiki and also our Jira Issue tracking system. I'm really looking forward to working with you all.
