Yeah, I was wondering what kind of ERP system was being planned that didn't 
require currencies.

I can't think of any way to create a constraint to force joins to a subset of Uoms. Application level is the best I can imagine.

Perhaps create another entity, say LimitedUoms, that maps to subset of Uoms? Link MyEntity to LimitedUoms.

You can delete all Uoms of uomTypeId not equal to TIME_FREQ_MEASURE. Does that do it?


No, you can't. Or at least, be careful if you remove values from there. For example all the currencies are also stored in that entity and if you use the system to process orders you'll need at least one currency.

If you just don't want users modifying the Uom entity at all, you can disable every part in OFBiz that performs updates to that entity.


This doesn't make sense to me...

Jonathon,

I was referring to the Uom Entity in ofbiz common.  I don't want users
to modify the data in the Uom Entity, just to be able to select from the
values Uom's where uomTypeId=TIME_FREQ_MEASURE .

<MyEntity ..
  <field name="proximityDate" ..
  <field name="proximityDateUomId" ..
  ..

I only want to join MyEntity to the Uom entity for Time/Frequency Uom's
as the other Uom's (e.g. Energy) don't make much sense for me.

I was hoping not to do this at the service/application layer as I would
need to specify this constraint in multiple places.

Sorry for the confusion!

Many thanks,

Chris

Services/forms/etc, aka application level/layer.

After all, you need to constrain inputs from the end-user first.

I have an entity that is related to the Uom entity, but only where uomTypeId=TIME_FREQ_MEASURE

Is it possible to set this constraint at the entity level?, or
should I create an entity view for this limited subset?, or
should all my services/forms/etc constrain the uomTypeId?

Many thanks,

Chris
