hi,

we are planning to use ofbiz for a trading company. While most of the way
this company does business is to source products from its suppliers
(overseas) and sell them to customers (local market) for a margin. So the
standard ofbiz process of sales order raised by customer to the company,
purchase order by company to its supplier works fine along with inventory
management.

For a small part of the business, the company also operates in a mode
wherein the customer raises an order directly to the company's supplier.
And the company is paid a commission by the supplier. In this case the
products are directly shipped by supplier to the customer and the company's
inventory will have no impact. Does ofbiz provide a way of dealing with
this scenario? Any pointers will help.

Hi ygk,

Ofbiz can do that, you can search Dropship.

Hi Ygk,

The first part of your posting is straight-forward OFBiz functionality.

As far as I can tell, your second part has no order and inventory
transactions. And thus no invoices to and payments from the customers.
You'll probably receive a statement from your supplier stating the total
amount of the commission, and if more details are provided an overview
listing per line item:

   - the customer name
   - the order amount
   - the commission amount.

The basic way to process such is through accounting, by registering the
statement as a Credit Invoice from the supplier party.
If the 'customer' details are provided, you could consider registering them
as parties and include them in your marketing and promotion activities.

Best regards,

Pierre Smits
