Do we any option to give flate shipment cost to a product for a specific carrier party

[Pranay Pandey-2]

Hello all,

Do we any option in ofbiz to give flate shipment cost to a product for  
a specific carrier party.
My major concern is to have fixed shipment estimates for a specific  
product.


Thanks & Regards

What research have you done so far... especially which entities have  
you looked at and found to not be sufficient?

Thanks David for the reply.

For doing this I searched around following entities but couldn't find  
a way to do this:

Party, PartyGroup, PartyRole -- For setting up Carrier Party
ShipmentMethodType
CarrierShipmentMethod
ProductStoreShipmentMeth
QuantityBreak
ShipmentCostEstimate
Product - Which has few settings related to shipment but not a field  
which can hold a fixed shipping cost for it.

After going through these entities and from the Catalog application, I  
couldn't find way by which I can do a setting for a fixed shipment  
cost for a specific product with a specific carrier.
Please suggest If I am missing something.

Thanks & Regards

Based on your description what you need is an entity that defines  
something (a shipping rate) that describes the relationship between a  
Product and a Carrier (or CarrierShipmentMethod, would be more  
generally useful and allow you to specify a shipment method, and you  
may need even more things in the relationship like a geographic region  
(Geo)). In other words, you need a join entity that goes between  
Product and CarrierShipmentMethod and has a field on it for the  
productShippingCost.

The first step is to clearly define what data you need and how it  
relates to other data, as I've started to guess at above, and then to  
model based on that.
