quick answer Subscription and Services are available though you will have to add data to support you type of subscription or services
then installed products will take some work. I suggest though you go thru the documentation and understand how ofbiz works, since it will change how view the task you have to do. http://docs.ofbiz.org/pages/listpages-dirview.action?key=OFBTECH http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBTECH/Framework+Introduction+Videos+and+Diagrams if you don't have time then look at hiring someone that is familiar with ofbiz. skhalil sent the following on 5/23/2008 10:52 AM: > Hello to the community, > > First of all, I am new to the world of ofbiz.
