What are we trying to accomplish?
We want to setup with ofbiz a weekly subscription based food delivery
business.
In order to complete the order, the customer has to take some decisions:
- # days; for how many days of the week do I want to receive weekly
servings? Example: 3 days
- # people; for how many people am I ordering food? Example: 4 people
This information tells the system the size of the weekly food kit. 3 days x
4 people = 12 servings
To complete the order we need to know which servings (or dishes) are being
packed into the food kit.
Ofbiz shall offer a proposed kit of 3 days worth of servings for 12 people
(can be done with the sequence number in category / item roll-up)
But the customer should be able to change the servings within the kit. I
consider now to create 12 unique food kit part numbers; one for each
possible combination of #days and # servings. (is this the best option?)
There are several challenges I have not found the right answer for.
- The Food Kit part is best configured as:
- Finished Good / Virtual/ Variant
- Finished Good / Variant
- Configurable Product / Variant (is this even possible?
- Configurable Product only
- Marketing Package
- Any other?
- Weekly planning of food kit; the customer should only see and
configure the food kit delivery of next week, but also the possibilities of
food kit deliveries the following 3 weeks
I hope this explains better what we are trying to achieve and thank you for
helping.
