Chris,
I've confirmed that OFBiz doesn't do anything near as complicated as what I described below (in
1st post in thread). (Even the routing task type of Sub-contracting doesn't do anything?).
I'd like to ask the community for advice of "best practices" before I submit an enhancement. How
would you usually go about:
1. Starting production run.
2. Task1: Produce some parts.
3. Task2: Ship parts to vendor for painting.
4. Task3: Assemble painted parts.
For Task2 (step 3 above), I'm proposing we have a PO for the painting service, complete with a
link from PO to routing task, an outgoing shipment of pre-painted parts, and an incoming shipment
of painted parts.
Has anyone done this yet (not merged into OFBiz)? Is it something that a sizable majority of the
community would need? How would such a majority propose I do the above?
TIA for inputs!

Chris,
Yeah, I read that. Nothing on what I'm talking about here.
Let me try to get the requirements streamlined or simplified, and see if
OFBiz can handle then.

Say I want to send some parts over to a vendor for
painting services.
Is there a way to:
1. Create a product of type "service" named
PAINTING,
2. Create a PO to purchase this service,
3. Attach to this PO an outgoing shipment ferrying
my parts to my vendor,
4. Receive the PO and have my painted parts in my
inventory rather than the
product PAINTING.
I've tried product associations like "Product
Manufactured As", "New Version, Replacement" and "Equivalent or
Substitute". Tried associations in
both directions. No go.
I can't "manufacture" PAINTING to produce the
painted parts. Nor can I purchase PAINTING to receive the painted parts.
Any ideas?
