Re: Delivery schedules for product categories
What are we trying to accomplish? We want to setup with ofbiz a weekly subscription based food delivery business. In order to complete the order, the customer has to take some decisions: - # days; for how many days of the week do I want to receive weekly servings? Example: 3 days - # people; for how many people am I ordering food? Example: 4 people This information tells the system the size of the weekly food kit. 3 days x 4 people = 12 servings To complete the order we need to know which servings (or dishes) are being packed into the food kit. Ofbiz shall offer a proposed kit of 3 days worth of servings for 12 people (can be done with the sequence number in category / item roll-up) But the customer should be able to change the servings within the kit. I consider now to create 12 unique food kit part numbers; one for each possible combination of #days and # servings. (is this the best option?) There are several challenges I have not found the right answer for. - The Food Kit part is best configured as: - Finished Good / Virtual/ Variant - Finished Good / Variant - Configurable Product / Variant (is this even possible? - Configurable Product only - Marketing Package - Any other? - Weekly planning of food kit; the customer should only see and configure the food kit delivery of next week, but also the possibilities of food kit deliveries the following 3 weeks I hope this explains better what we are trying to achieve and thank you for helping.

Re: Delivery schedules for product categories
Thank you Rishi, I tried t Catalog option too, but it poses the same challenges I cannot overcome which is to define a delivery schedule (from...to) for each category (or catalog) Products from Category 1 can only be delivered in week from Oct 22 - 28 Products from Category 2 can only be delivered in week from Oct 29 - Nov 4 Products from Category 3 can only be delivered in week from Nov 5 - Nov 11 etc... Or am I missing something?

Re: Delivery schedules for product categories
Two ways to achieve this; Setup Catalog for each week and configure them in ProductStoreCatalog. And as per your approach use ProductCategoryRollup for the same. Refer OrderDemoData.xml to understand it better. Best Regards, -- Rishi Solanki Sr Manager, Enterprise Software Development HotWax Systems Pvt. Ltd.

Delivery schedules for product categories
After testing with ofbiz, I need advice from experts if the following is possible. Background: We need to show in e-Commerce a schedule of parts in weekly buckets for the next six weeks. I use categories for this. Example • Product Category Name: Products week 42: 15/10 – 21/10 • Product Category Name: Products week 43: 22/10 – 28/10 • Product Category Name: Products week 44: 29/10 – 4/11 • Product Category Name: Products week 45: 5/11 – 11/11 The customer can order products in any of these weeks; but these will also be delivered only in that same week. I set the THROUGH DATE in Category Roll-up to the end of each corresponding week (21/10, 28/10, etc..). The category will disappear once this date is passed. This is what we need. Challenge: I have not been able to define for product categories delivery valid dates from – to. If a customer enters an order e.g. for wk 44, he/she can enter a deliver for another week. Thanks for your insight. Wolfgang
