Hi Scott, Thank you very much. Obviously this is an important feature OFBIZ can provide. Your answer clarify an important feature of OFBIZ, which is not existing in the current end user documents. May I kindly suggest someone to add this information to the end user documents: Role-oriented task instructions for Users: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/Product+and +Catalog+Information+Manager+Role or Catalog Manager Reference: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/Catalog . This will save end user a lot to understanding what OFBIZ can do and make use of OFBIZ feature easier.
Thanks, Miles.
