Party, Party Group, classification

[Robert Gan]

Hey guys,

sorry for my maybe really beginners question :) But actually I thought a party group is used for companies.

Now I have seen the price rules, that you can manage specific prices for party groups. So I am wondering if I was right before. Because I am looking for setting special prices for specific customers (like reseller), whom I want to summarize within kind of a group (maybe party group). So when I get a new customer I want to add him to that group, that he see the before defined prices.

So do I handle B2B and B2C customer with the party type "customer" and add specific ones than to a party group? When I use the party type customer I have no field for the company name.

How do you handle this task?

Party is a super type, and Person and PartyGroup are its subtypes. The
Party data model is covered thoroughly in The Data Model Resource Book,
chapter 2. Note that the Organization entity mentioned in the book is
called PartyGroup in OFBiz.

A customer could be a person or an organization, so it would be best to
avoid restricting customers to only one of the subtypes.

For doing so please take a look at the ProductPriceRule and related
entities. Or goto catalog > price rules, while creating the price rules you
can add rules on group of parties.

Hey Solanki,

I just wanted to thank you. I was busy with other things in ofbiz, so I forgot to check that. Now it was needed, and your hint was perfect. Thanks! Robert
