Thanks Abhishake for your inputs. but IMO brand and categories are two
different things as a brand can only be associated with only one
manufacturer while a category can be associated with multiple manufacturers.
So how can I restrict this association of multiple manufacturers?

Hi,
you can create a party with role manufacturer. Then you can add party in
category which can act as a brand.

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to create manufacturers which I can
insert as parties. Manufacturers can have zero or more brands. Each brand
can have zero or more products.
- Is brands supported in ofbiz ? I have checked the data model but not
able to find.
- If not what would be the best way to achieve this ?
IMO I should extend ofbiz data model and create a new brand table and
manufacturer-brand table.
Brand table would have all the brands and manufacturer-brand table would
have the manufacturer brand association.
Also extend the product table and include brandId as a drop-down. Product
has OEM Party ID(which I think is nothing but manufacturer) and based on the
OEM Party Id the brandId can be populated.
Any design pointers are much welcomed.
