If I am in the jewelry business and create fancy rings I may PO from suppliers a bag of gold and a bag of diamonds. My thinking was that these are Raw Materials. My customer would come in and custom order a ring of which I would create an "AGGREGATED" product that would include some of the gold and some of the diamonds. (Since it is just made of Raw Materials I suppose it could be creating a "FINISHED_GOOD" instead -- would you consider this more correct)? At any rate, my line of thinking was that my business may buy that bag of gold via a Purchase Order and upon receiving it we may decide to return it if say I got 10kt and I wanted 18kt gold. The way Ofbiz was setup, it was not possible to return a Raw Material. Am I using Raw Materials incorrectly here? I would have thought that they had to be supplied in some manner and as a result should be returnable. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Advice-on-modeling-for-services-tp1755907p1819451.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
