Re: Shorten the order fulfillment processs

[Hans Bakker]

Hi Georg,

i was wondering if you considered proposing the customer to change the 
way of working? It will show several advantages :


1. We take the orders by phone and generate a delivery note from that.
>>  enter directly in the system as an order so inventory can already 
starting to prepare the order with involvement of the driver.


2. Our driver picks the goods from our storage and delivers them to the 
customer.
>> your driver can check on mobile if there are orders to be delivered 
and goes to inventory to collect the already prepared order.


3. When he returns with a signed delivery note from the customer, we 
enter the delivery note into the ERP system.
>> driver Just marks the order in the system as delivered, everythng 
else already in the system


4. The ERP system takes a look at the agreement details for the customer 
including his price and generates an invoice which is sent in the mail.

>> can stay the same

Regards,

Hans

Re: Adding Attributes to a Product

[Randy Evans]

That sounds very interesting.

Can you tell me how to enable layered navigation?  There doesn't seem
to be much information available about that.

Thanks.

Hi Rishi,

thank you for your recommendation. I am new to OFBiz but I will try to 
analyse the order process and see how I can implement this.

Hi George,
Please refer the order statuses which are hold, created, approved,
cancelled and completed. You can map these statuses with your processes,
and if you run the OOTB process then it would also take the agreement link
with Order.

Also to match the exact process you describe, you may require minor
customization. But if you map the process with order flow then it has all
capabilities you mentioned.

Re: Shorten the order fulfillment processs

[Georg Potthast]

Hi Jacques,

thank you, I could generate an order and complete that. I can print a PDF 
copy of the completed order. But I could not find out, how to generate an 
invoice for this order. There is no button for that in the order process. 
Can I enter say 30 orders for different customers and print invoices for 
these to a single PDF document?

Hi Georg,

I did something like that in 2007 for an ecommerce GB company (not with the 
signed delivery note part).
I had to add some custom code to the order entry wizard/tunnel[1] and it's 
still the same today.
As the needs are most of the time specific there is no way to have that 
OOTB. But it's easy to add because all the bricks are present.

I have tried to unsubscribe from all of your email lists following the

Re: Shorten the order fulfillment processs

[Rishi Solanki]

+1 to Jacques on it is not exactly present in OFBiz but tricks may apply to
map the process or can go for minor quick easy customization. In my reply
in another thread, if you consider order creation before delivery then the
same process can also be used.

But for that you need to map the order statuses with your already adopted
process.

Thanks Jacques!!

Re: Adding Attributes to a Product

[Rishi Solanki]

Numerice range won't work as you suspect, and for search not need to do
that. You can simply tag a feature with "> 1000" and "< 1000" as string.
You can use category or feature or even atrribute. And once search is
enable of that feature then you simply need show the tagged products. Which
can be done by all routes, the catalog manager or product creation code
needs to make sure all products tagged properly.

In this way no custom code would be required. HTH!

Re: COA setup and association of GL accounts to processes

[Rishi Solanki]

Dear Joseph,
If you follow the demo setup then it will have a complete setup of the
company. What Akash suggested you, to get it you need to follow the
existing setup and remove/add the departments, team, sub organizations and
other internal organizations. On clicking on setup and accounting button
you would be able to see the gl account and chart of accounts for each
internal organization.

Bottom line is, to setup your own organization data you may need to look
into the existing demo data and alter it as per your organization need.

HTH!

Re: Adding Attributes to a Product

[Jason RJ]

Hi Randy

We have done something similar but using Product Features to drive the 
dropdown and Product Variants for each type, this supports search as 
expected too since features are added to search criteria as product 
keywords. Turning on layered navigation and creating custom filters in 
LayeredNavBar.ftl gives you a filter list, it might be possible to build 
a range filter that way.

I am evaluating OFBiz and have set up a test instance.

I am trying to enter a product that I need to add some data, one of
which is numeric and the other should be selectable from a dropdown
list.

An example of this would be resistors which have a footprint and would
be selectable from a dropdown list like "throughole","0603", "0402"

The other data would be keyed in as a numeric value (the resistance).

I would need to be able to search for a specific product like
"throughole" and a range for the resistance like ">1000 and <1"
for example.  In "Find Product" there is an advanced search but I'm
not sure you can search for Attributes.

It looks like CATALOG MANAGER/Products/Attributes may be what I am
looking for but it is not clear if I can specify a numeric value only
and also if I can set up a dropdown list.



Is this type of entry and search possible with OFBiz (without custom
programming)?

Thanks for any information.

Demos shutdown because possible security issues

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi,

Due to possible security issues the demos have been shutdown.

These possible security issues are due to the demos data.

So custom projects should not have to worry.

We will discuss in dev ML how to restart the demos.

Thanks for your patience

Jacques
