how would you handle multiple shipping facilities based on stocking
inventory?
it is not a simple project. Like Paul says, you need some custom coding.

What if in shipmentcostestimate there was a new y/n flag that meant goid_fm/to
was a range vice exact?
That makes sense to me.

Subject: Re: Shipping Estimates based on ZIP code Ranges
Hi Mike,
No, quantity break won't work. What you need are Geos for each zip code
range, and a new entity that has a minimum and maximum zip code, and the
geoId for the corresponding zip code range.
Then write a custom service to take sender and destination zip codes,
translate to ranges, then do shipping in the usual way.
Cheers

Thanks BJ. I was thinking that maybe creating a new QuantityBreakID type
(SHIPMENT_ZIPCODE) where you can enter a zipcode range and update
ShipmentServices.java may work.
However, the above table shipping combinations (just for USPS) create
about
5000 different shipping rules, so instead I'm just going to create my own
perl-based SOAP server, create a new custom 3rd party shipment service
that
just passes zip+weight and returns rate. It is probably easier and faster
for what I want to do.

Geo can be grouped by areas. so you would first query the Area that
includes the zipcode the marshal all the geos then look uip the cost for
each cost for each Geo to give you a range.
it been a while since I did it so don't remember the exact structure.

I supplier ships to customers based on their zip code and weight. They
use
a table like this for zip code:
*ZIP Code Prefix* *Zone* *ZIP Code Prefix* *Zone* *ZIP Code Prefix*
*Zone*
*ZIP Code Prefix* *Zone* 005 4 349 6 496..497 3 716..722 5 006..009 8
350..352 4 498..509 4 723..725 4 010..013 4 354 5 510..513 5 726..731 5
014..034 5 355..359 4 514 4 733 6 035..037 4 360..361 5 515..516 5
734..741
5
Etc...
And their shipping rates/pound look like this:
Weight Postal Zone (lbs) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 $5.65 $5.65 $5.65 $5.65
$5.65 $5.65 $5.65 $5.65 2 $5.65 $5.65 $5.90 $6.55 $8.05 $8.40 $8.75
$9.30
3 $6.25 $6.25 $7.10 $8.10 $9.40 $10.15 $10.65 $11.40 4 $6.95 $6.95
$8.10
$9.10 $10.55 $11.55 $12.25 $13.30 5 $7.80 $7.80 $9.30 $10.35 $11.55
$12.40
$13.05 $14.20
Etc...
I wanted to see if I could setup shipping rules to accurately emulate
the
above in OFBiz, but I was unable to figure out where I could place
"ranges"
of zip codes in ofbiz. I first thought that it would be possible to use
something like this:
<QuantityBreak quantityBreakId="90001" quantityBreakTypeId="SHIP_**
WEIGHT"
fromQuantity="0.00" thruQuantity="1.0"/>
<QuantityBreak quantityBreakId="90102" quantityBreakTypeId="SHIP_**
WEIGHT"
fromQuantity="1.01" thruQuantity="2.0"/>
<ShipmentCostEstimate shipmentCostEstimateId="USPS_**STA10001"
carrierPartyId="USPS" carrierRoleTypeId="CARRIER" productStoreId="9000"
"productStoreShipMethId="9004" orderFlatPrice="5.65"
orderPricePercent="0.0" geoIdFrom="00500" geoIdTo="00599"
shipmentMethodTypeId="**STANDARD" weightBreakId="90001"/>
<ShipmentCostEstimate shipmentCostEstimateId="USPS_**STA10002"
carrierPartyId="USPS" carrierRoleTypeId="CARRIER" productStoreId="9000"
productStoreShipMethId="9004" orderFlatPrice="6.55"
orderPricePercent="0.0" geoIdFrom="00500" geoIdTo="00599"
shipmentMethodTypeId="**STANDARD" weightBreakId="90102"/>
But then I soon learned that "geoIdFrom" and "geoIdTo" were actual,
exact
FROM/TO zip codes, and not RANGES, which I initially tried.
So I ask: Is it possible to setup shipping rules based on RANGES of ZIP
codes? How would you do it?
I already know that I can use USPS to lookups, but I wanted to EXACTLY
duplicate the shipping rates that the supplier uses, then add my own
markup
as I see fit.
Thanks
Mike
