I'm trying to nail down what some of these names are, and not having
much luck with some of it. If there's a glossary anywhere that I haven't
seen yet, can someone point me in the direction?
Organization = The over-arching business? The company that owns all the
manufacturing, distribution, and sales?
If you've got a manufacturing plant, a retail store, a website (for
online sales) and a hot dog stand, I was initially thinking these were
all Facilities while noodling through some old docs. But I'm not so sure
after looking at sample data and the menu options.
Parties are any employees or customers. Vendors too?
I've got more, but will stew on these for the moment. I'm actually
trying to concoct a small "story" that even my kids will understand.
Other folks may be in same the boat as me where they understand a whole
process, but the names we're using in OFBiz mean something else in
whatever ERP they're coming from. The one I use has separate AP and AR
terms (terms as in "pay by the 10th, get 10% off your bill" or "pay
after the 15th and get a 2% finance charge"), but in OFBiz it looks like
everything is lumped into something called Agreements, and you can have
a vendor or a customer using the same (I call it terms) agreement.
I'm guessing there are a ton of these kinds of things. I see them
spelled out to some degree in the "official" docs I've got (from
2006-ish) but it isn't really spelled out enough for me at least to
understand.
