Andrew,
Wait a sec! Ie, hear me out. :)
OFBiz does cater for this in the database end of things.
My boss needs it; you need it. If you're willing to work with me on this (even something simple as
help with user-testing and complaining), I'm sure I can get this up within a couple of days, or
less. Meaning, "right away".
How about that?

Jonathon,
My client is going to need this type of off-site production.
I thought OFBiz already catered for this.
Kind regards,
Andrew Ballantine.

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.

I don't do any manufacturing in my day to day stuff so
this may not fit your bill exactly, but have you read

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?
Jonathon
