Jonathon, When I said that my client WILL need this functionality, that means my client hasn't yet committed to using OFBiz. So my time, at the moment is wasted keeping his MS Access project alive.
I can certainly help a bit with testing, but haste is not required at the moment, but I think it's great that you have so much energy and enthusiasm. Once I can get the go-ahead from my client, I shall be quite active. So let us know what you propose and we can all contribute ideas as to how it should be done for the benefit of the OFBiz community at large. Kind regards, Andrew Ballantine. -----Original Message----- From: Jonathon -- Improov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 January 2007 13:37 To: [email protected] Cc: Tom Anderson; Ian McNulty Subject: Re: Purchasing services to process components, and receiving processed components 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?
