I guess the subject line forms a short summary of the question. I have been studying OFBiz for a while, getting comfortable with the basics, but this multitenant material, seems, on the face of it, a bit more advanced....complicated....
If the multitenant is able to support multiple independant companies, can someone translate key bits of the multitenant documentation into what needs to be done for the following, simplified situation? There is a small community of contractors, each maintaining their own (small) inventory of key supplies. There are plumbers, carpenters, roofers, electricians, &c. They all buy some supplies from a common vendor (e.g. Home Depot, Home Hardware, &c.), but each also buys from specialty vendors that carry only supplies unique to their speciality. If one does not need the multitenant configuration to support this, how would one proceed to support it without it? Obviously, no business in the system ought to see any other business' data, but they ought to be able to see that the others exist, so if they get a contract requiring other contractors, they know who they can call (I am tempted to add support for contractor reputation, to aid contractors in deciding what other contractors to call in for help, but I suspect I'll have to build that myself). Thanks Ted
