Hi everybody. First of all, I want to apologize if I'm abusing of your help. As the title says I'm a total OFBiz newbie. I have to develop an application for order management and as I've been researching OFBiz could be a good choice. In fact the Order Management demo is all what I need, but so much more! It's by far too complex compared with my requirements.
So I need some suggestions of you to start with this project. Here's some info: This company has many departments and each one has an ID number. So, every month start each department sends a requirement form to administration. And there are a list of supplies organized in this way: ITEM DETAIL ------------------- 10000 MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES <--- super category 11000 DESK EQUIPMENT <--- category 11100 Sheets <--- sub category 11200 Pens <--- sub category 11300 Erasers <--- sub category 12000 TEXTILES AND CLOTHING 12100 Shoes 12200 Overalls 20000 REAL ASSETS <--- main category 21000 MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT 21100 Computers 21200 Calculators 22000 VEHICLES 22100 Trucks 22200 Tractors ... ... When a department sends its requirements it must fill a form like this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM: REAL ASSETS - 20000 Department ID: 120 REQUIREMENTS Detail Quantity Laptop computers 2 <------ sub category number not specified 24 port switch 1 <------ sub category number not specified Truck (1 ton capacity) 10 <------ sub category number not specified ... ... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The user has enough knowledge to fill this form with items according to the super category. And there's a person (administrator) who assigns the correct sub category number to the form items. Then sums are made and if the results exceed the budget, the corresponding users are notified. Just two forms are handled, this process is pretty simple. I could develop an app using maybe PHP or Grails but I want to learn OFBiz because as I can see it is great! It can help us a lot. Guys I just want to know how to start with this project. I couldn't find enough documentation about order management applications developed with OFBiz. I will be grateful if you can give me some steps to follow to develop the application I need. Help me please. Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Order-Management-Newbie-starting-project-tp4634262.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
