Hi All,

Our company has chosen Ofbiz as our ecommerce/erp platform. We are having 
difficulties to understand and configure the multi-tenancy. 

Our plan is as below, it's kind of like Amazon/eBay model.

1.  Each tenant will have their own front store, say tenant A will have a front 
store a.example.com; document says it's supported out of box, but I cannot find 
any doc that describes how to setup.

2.  The master front store is the overall front store, say example.com, which 
can display products from any tenants. Users have to go through master store to 
get to tenant stores. They will be redirected to master store if they go to 
tenant store directly. This may not be out of box, can someone shed a light how 
big the change is?

3.  Tenant stores can be embedded in overall store. One can image the upper 
part of the home page shows the promotions from some tenant stores, the lower 
part shows the entry point of specific tenant stores. I think if 2 can be done, 
this one will be relatively simple.

4.  Sales order can include products from different tenant. Here comes order 
split and aggregation, I don't think it's out of box.

5.  The sales orders are fulfilled by tenants, but the money has to be received 
by master first, then transferred to tenant after fee. Again, I do think it's 
out of box.

As many have reported, the documentation is short, outdated and duplicated. 
It's pretty hard to follow documents to do the setup and development. 

It's greatly appreciated if anyone can recommend some training courses, video 
or consulting service.
