Oh no, certainly not. That entity is actively used.
The tracking code field on it could kind of be called deprecated, but isn't really as you could still use it no problem if you aren't using the Shipment and related entities (ie you're not using the shipping part of OFBiz) but you still want somewhere to put the tracking code to show to customers.

So is OrderItemShipGroup an obsolete table as John suggests? David E.

In other words, it is a machination of the cogs that drive OFBiz and is simply derived from the core concepts in the books, as is the case with many OFBiz entities.-David On Feb 8, 2007, at 3:19 PM, David E.

It may be used but I don't see where.The UPS and DHL shipping label components save the tracking number into the ShipmentPackageRouteSeg entity. This provides a better normalization and supports the possibility that an item of multiple quantity can be shippedand tracked seperately.

Even in a "Box 1 of 2, Box 2 of 2" shipment, each box has its own tracking number (right?), since they could get separated and have to be tracked independently. As it is, if two boxes are in the same OrderItemShipGroup, then they both have thesame tracking number. Is this right?OrderItemShipGroup doesn't seem to be an entity described in the Data Model Resource book (I read the whole chapter on Shipments) so I guess I'm confused as to exactly what the entity is supposed to represent inthe process. -- David Shere Information Technology Services Steele Rubber Products www.SteeleRubber.com-- David Shere Information Technology Services Steele Rubber Products www.SteeleRubber.com
