In OFBiz all price retrieval goes through the "caluclateProductPrice" service. You can completely, or conditionally, replace what that service does with an integration and I think that will take care of your custom need. There are similar services for inventory information and you can do the same thing there. These can be done with ECA rules, or even by replacing the service definition (or overriding it in a hot- deploy component, just create a service with the same name and as long as it loads later, which it will there, it will override).

Hi,We are running a web portal which in reality is a distribution channel forour suppliers product and associated inventory.While products destined for the portal can be easily accommodated in OFBiz, we have no control over inventory and pricing. Inventory and pricing details are dynamically retrieved from a 3rd party system based on customers searchcriteria.From a catalogue browsing point of view we would like to ensure a dummyinventory level and a 'From' price based on some formula. What I am unsure about is how OFBiz would handle the injection of thecorrect price, from a 3rd party system, into the order processing pipe line. This price would naturally only be applicable to the current orderbeen processed and should in no way be available to other customers. Your thoughts and comments would be appreciated.
