Hi David
We act as 3rd party booking agents for our hotel suppliers, so in terms
of product modelling a product type of "SERVICE" seemed the best fit.
Payment for the service in our case is taken up front by means of a
credit card. I did consider "ASSET_USAGE" as a product type but given
our business model we dont really have any assets to speak of, apart
from our software that is. We have in the mean time marked the products
as DIGITAL_GOOD and the accounting seems to be working fine.
Kind regards

Enrique,
You mentioned: "you are supposed to be able to configure ofbiz
so that it behaves in such a way that it triggers the invoice generation
process as soon as the order is approved in the case of services".
If that's the case it is functionality I've never heard of, but it
could exist!
I think one of the reasons is that services aren't often done through
products. For now you could mark those products as digital goods, but
that's assuming you can and should bill for services immediately, ie
before they are performed.
Typically services are billed by agreement, and against hour entries,
and that is what OFBiz supports right now OOTB. If you have a
timesheet or a WorkEffort with time entries associated with it you can
add invoice items to a new or existing invoice for those.

I'm not that familiar with the framework yet, so that I could provide
further useful advice.
Perhaps some one more experienced with this part could give us a
hint, as to
how to acomplish this.

Hi
Thanks for you responce.
If I change my product to a digital good then an invoice is
generated and
all accounts are fine.
I do not understand why service product type does not generate an
invoice.
Service is not inherited from good - most product types including
digital
good are.
Do you have any ideas on why an invoice is not generated. I am rather
lost.
Thanks
Rees

Hi,
I think it is a matter of configuring ofbiz it is certainly not a
standard
behavior e.g. something you would find in the demo data, I had a long
discussion in the forums previously, you might like to check this

Hi
Invoices are generated when an item is shipped.
Services products are not shipped, so an invoice is not generated.
An invoice need to be generated for the item to be reflected in the
Sales
ledger - according to the default ledger setup.
This does not seem right. Can someone please spot my error.
Kind reagrds
Rees
