[OFBiz] Dev - Why Work Order?
 
|
Why do we have a work order? I think it was put in originally due to a misunderstanding, but I see some newer artifacts that use the OrderType of Work Order. What does this mean? It seems like from the code that it is just a sales order, but I don't think it makes any sense to have a work order separate from a sales order, and it is more flexible in general to just have sales orders and we can always use the Work Order Item OrderItemType. Does anyone have any issues with just removing the Work Order OrderType? I think it would be less confusing... -David _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.ofbiz.org/mailman/listinfo/dev |

Thanks for your comments Adrian. I think this actually demonstrates another good reason for eliminated "work orders", which were treated exactly the same as sales orders. The order of work is appropriate to put in a sales order, but the progress and details on that work are probably best tracked in the WorkEffort and related entities. -David On Oct 11, 2005, at 6:00 PM, Adrian Crum wrote: > Work Orders would be necessary for service-oriented companies, or a > company with a service department. > > Our warranty-service dept uses work orders to specify repairs to be > done and the parts needed to do the repairs.
