Multi Organization Setup

Grant
Hi All

We have a potential new client that has a number of branches in a number of
different countries. At first glance nothing out of the ordinary ... each
branch / facility has a catalogue with categories, products and inventory.
Sales take place via POS and Sales Orders. The large majority of inventory
is purchased at HQ and then transferred to the various branches. Some local
purchasing of inventory also takes place.

I am fairly familiar with OFBiz, but would really appreciate some guidance
/ confirmation regarding how one might configure OFBiz to handle multiple
branches. Ok, here goes:

Organisation HQ

   - Purchase inventory for the Group
   - Dispatch inventory to branches
   - Tax authority setup
   - Currency setup
   - Global accounting setup with chart of accounts
   - No Sales take place from the HQ


   - Regional Organization HQ
   - This is not a branch but simply exists as an organizational unit for
      the purpose of rolling up accounts.
      - Tax authority setup
      - Currency setup
      - Local accounting setup (chart of accounts etc....)


   - Regional branch-01 (Organization)


   - Local inventory purchases
   - Accepts inter branch transfers of inventory
   - Tax authority setup
   - Currency setup
   - Sales and purchase orders
   - Local accounting setup (chart of accounts etc....)
   - Geographical data (GPS co-ordinates etc ....)


   - Regional branch-XX ..... (Organization)


   - Regional Organization HQ

Repeat as necessary

Ultimately we should be able to roll the accounts up over the entire group,
taking currencies into account, as well as been able to track inventory
levels for the entire group.

Any assistance in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards
