Vikas,
You really need to take a peek at the data model. I think this is to
the point where the general information I've offered is enough to take
the next step, but instead of trying that yourself you seem to want to
ask questions here. There is nothing "bad" about that, but in general
the better researched your question is, and the more detail you offer,
the more likely someone will be able to help you. You may have noticed
that this back-and-forth between us could go on for a LONG time with
me guessing at questions one at a time based on your answers.
On the ProductStore there is a facilityId that is used when the
ProductStore represents a physical store, and physical locations are
represented in OFBiz using the Facility entity (that's a basic data
model thing, see The Data Model Resource Book, Revised Edition, Volume
1 for more info about this concept).
With that and what I wrote before about the Facility you should have
all you need to go from the ProductStore to a ContactMech.

Hello David,
Yes, the physical stores using OFBiz for their POS system. But how I
can locate these productstores on the basis of the postalcode given.

then it makes sense to have a ProductStore record for each,
otherwise it doesn't really make any sense at all... they would
just be Facility records.
If you have a Facility record for each location you can just use
the FacilityContactMech to go directly from the Facility to its
address.

Hello David,
Thanks for considering my problem.
Yes Sure, I am talking about physical retail stores. A facility
can have different physical productstores (retailers) which are
locating at different places. My case is this, there are many
retailers over different places and having their respective
owners. These retail stores should be searched on the basis of
postal code given of that area, like "how many retail stores
(belonging to a particular facility) are available corresponding
to given postal code". But I could not find any attribute in
ProductStore entity to serve my purpose.
So, please tell me how I can associate ProductStores with their
different owners or postal address.

There are certainly structures in place for this sort of thing,
but the detail here is not sufficient to select one.
To start out... Are you talking about physical stores (like a
physical retail store), or are you talking about different
ecommerce stores that serve different parts of the world?
The main point is, you have to have the business case really
solid before you start doing any sort of design or gap analysis
with existing software. Without that, it's like a casual
conversation over dinner and you can't expect any rubber to hit
the road.

Hello All,
Facility entity has its ownerPartyId. A facility can have
many ProductStores. I need to get postal address of the
ProductStore. I think Postal address can be got through
ContactMech, but that again would require PartyId. Is it
possible that different ProductStores have different
ownerPartyIds, so that I could have respective PostalAddresses
for these productstores. Productstore entity has payToPartyId
and not any ownerPartyId.
Please suggest me, I want to locate productstores on the basis
of the postalcode given.
Thanks,
