Adding flex fields for additional data capture

[Paul Robinson-15]

Hi,

I am doing an implementation in Australia and our client has a
requirement to store the ABN and ACN numbers for a company customer, AKA
Party Group (I think). These fields for companies are localised to
Australia but probably not just to this one client.

Can anyone recommend the best approach to deal with this scenario, do I
just modify the party group entity?

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul,

what is the meaning of the two ids?

Hi Jacopo,

Sorry about the acronyms.

ABN: Australian Business Number - primarily used for small business
ACN: Australian Company Number - used for corporations

Every business in Australia is issue with these reference numbers -  we
need to print either of these numbers on customer invoices and quotes.

R,
Paul

Are they used for fiscal purposes, like taxId?
If the answer is yes, then the right field in OFBiz is  
PartyTaxAuthInfo.taxId

Yep, that will do it.

It would be nice to identify though what type of number the customer has
given us, but this will work just fine.

Thanks for your help.

You may consider to 'classify' your customer using the  
PartyClassification entity... not really related to this, but maybe it  
could work for you.

Kind regards,
