Dev - InventoryItem's ownerPartyId

[Lei Gao-2]

Hi,

I feel this field is very confusing. So, what is an InventoryItem's owner and how should I set it? Is there a GUI allow user set the Owner of an IventoryItem?


Thanks
Lei

Hi Lei,

ownerPartyId is intended to be used for inventory valuation; it
represents the party that actually owns the inventory items.
Since revision 6981, when an inventory item is created (by calling the
"createInventoryItem" service), the ownerPartyId is automatically filled
(if not explicitly passed to the service) with the one set in the facility.
So the only think you have to do is to go to the Edit Facility screen
and set the party (representing your company) there.

Okay. I assume that this Company is the party with the ID, Company, Then next my question is going to be how I should set the Accounting Preference for the Company?

Thanks a lot.

Exactly.

This is a good question: I did it using the Webtools' data maintenance
tools (but maybe there is also a screen to do it that I'm missing): you
simply have to add a record in the PartyAcctgPreference entity for the
"Company" party. Then you will see the information in
Accounting-->Companies-->Preferences
