Order management

[hsukwang hwang]

Hi,
  I would like to development an application (let's say order work flow
management) to manage the life cycle of an order. The basic flow is as
follows.

1. User place an order via an e-commerce applicaiton. The order is in
to-be-distributed-for-purchase state.
2. Purchase department head sees all the orders in the queue and distribute
orders to purchase managers under him. The order is in to-be-purchase state.
3. Each purchase manager see the orders in his queue and starts to purchase
the goods for the order.
    Once the order is fulfilled. The order enters to to-be-validated state.
4. Validation department staff log in the system and validate the orders in
the queue. Once and order is validated it enters to another state.

The components that I seem to have to use, based on the documents, are
e-commerce, order management and some access control (based on role).

Can someone give me some idea how to achieve what I want with ofbiz
framework? How soon can I have a prototype application to prove the concept
(let's say fulfilling the first 3 items)?

Any suggestion or idea would be appreciated.

Hi -

Majority of the usecases that you have outlined are available OOTB including
- Be able to enter an order from eCommerce and the Order being
available in Order Manager
- Be able to approve the order before fulfillment
- Seperate person or group be able to fulfill order after being approved

However you might have to do some customization with respect to access
previleges

Regarding timeline for prototyping, ofbiz being an enterprise
automation software has a bit of a learning curve;  one you have a
hang of it this should only take weeks

- Regards
