I am looking for information on the workflow process and the lifecycle of an order within OFBIZ (4.0 release).
So far I know that orders are created either as a Sales Order through eCommerce or manually created via "Order Entry" within the Order application. Next I know that an order needs to be "Approved." After that it gets really fuzzy on what the rest of the process is especially in the areas of accounting (Accounting) and fulfillment (Facility). Do you wait for the order to be paid first? You cannot apply a payment until the order has an Invoice. To make an Invoice, it "seems" you have to ship the order first. So that makes me think that you can only apply payments AFTER you send an order - that clearly isn't right. Can anyone help me make sense of the process? Does the process (that I call "workflow") have anything to do with the WorkEffort application? Brad
