Jonathon, My client is going to need this type of off-site production.
I thought OFBiz already catered for this. Kind regards, Andrew Ballantine. -----Original Message----- From: Jonathon -- Improov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 January 2007 08:00 To: [email protected] Cc: Tom Anderson Subject: Re: Purchasing services to process components, and receiving processed components 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!
