Hi everybody. First of all, I want to apologize if I'm abusing of your help. As the title says I'm a total OFBiz newbie. I have to develop an application for order management and as I've been researching OFBiz could be a good choice. In fact the Order Management demo is all what I need, but so much more! It's by far too complex compared with my requirements.
So I need some suggestions of you to start with this project. Here's some info:
This company has many departments and each one has an ID number. So, every month start each department sends a requirement form to administration. And there are a list of supplies organized in this way:
ITEM DETAIL
-------------------
10000 MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES <--- super category
11000 DESK EQUIPMENT <--- category
11100 Sheets <--- sub category
11200 Pens <--- sub category
11300 Erasers <--- sub category
12000 TEXTILES AND CLOTHING
12100 Shoes
12200 Overalls
20000 REAL ASSETS <--- main category
21000 MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT
21100 Computers
21200 Calculators
22000 VEHICLES
22100 Trucks
22200 Tractors
...
...
When a department sends its requirements it must fill a form like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEM: REAL ASSETS - 20000
Department ID: 120
REQUIREMENTS
Detail Quantity
Laptop computers 2 <------ sub category number not specified
24 port switch 1 <------ sub category number not specified
Truck (1 ton capacity) 10 <------ sub category number not specified
...
...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The user has enough knowledge to fill this form with items according to the super category.
And there's a person (administrator) who assigns the correct sub category number to the form items. Then sums are made and if the results exceed the budget, the corresponding users are notified.
Just two forms are handled, this process is pretty simple. I could develop an app using maybe PHP or Grails but I want to learn OFBiz because as I can see it is great! It can help us a lot.
Guys I just want to know how to start with this project. I couldn't find enough documentation about order management applications developed with OFBiz. I will be grateful if you can give me some steps to follow to develop the application I need.
Help me please.
Thanks in advance.
