Hi All,
Has anyone modeled a software company and would like to share how your
business model fits in to OFBiz's data model? I am doing a conversion
from an old MS Access database and am looking for some pointers. A few
key facts:
*) We have sales reps that have certain customers
*) Sales reps get discounts
*) We have existing physical units in the field
*) We will begin selling software versions of the existing units this year.
I understand how parties and their relationships work, but asset
tracking is eluding me currently. We would like to model selling a
physical product unit that has a serial number and some other
configuration options, track RMA's for that unit, and provide
maintenance agreements for that unit and other products (like software)
that we sell them. No ecommerce for now. We have an order manager that
will enter the orders, so we'll be writing custom screens for this.
Can this model be done with Products and variants, or do I need to do
some extending of base entities?
Thanks
