Purchase Order Finalize will not continue from shipping

[jodowd]

Good Morning,

I am trying to create a test purchase order using the Demo Supplier.  I have successfully added order items to the order and then I hit 'Finalize Order' and eventually arrive at the 'Purchase Order : Order Entry Ship-To' screen, where there is simply a text entry for a party Id.

I have read in other posts that I can use any party that has a postal address on it, so I created a postal address on my test company party.  Now back to my purchase order ship to screen, I use my test company party id, which it recognizes as valid.  When I hit 'continue', the screen just resets and I am left with a fresh shipping screen again.  I do not get an error of any kind, nor do I see any warning or error in the console log on the server.  It just keeps returning to the shipping screen and I can't move on to review and complete the order...

Am I missing something?  A role that my party needs perhaps?

What should I see next if I enter a valid ship to party?

Thanks for your time.

OK,

I figured out that my test company needs to be the 'owner' of a facility, so I created a new test facility warehouse.  Then my facility needs to have a contact mechanism(ship to address) so I set it up with one of those.

I can now create a purchase order for my test company and ship to my test facility.

Contrary to the other post I read, you CAN NOT simply input ANY party id that has a postal contact...

A problem is that if you do not have a facility associated to the purchasing party, you get a dead end when you reach the Shipping screen, and there is nothing to tell you why.

My initial issue is RESOLVED.  So no need to comment further, unless you wish to add helpful info.

Thanks.

Will you please told me the steps to create the purchase order in ofbiz

In case any one has the same issue.
You add the owner in facility.
I know it seems obvious, but I was using a altered seed data to start with admin user and whorehouse.
I had the same issue because my warehouse create was taken from sales demo where it is not configured with owner. Took a minute to figure out where to set it.

Also seed can be modified to have owner :
    <Facility facilityId="WebStoreWarehouse" facilityTypeId="WAREHOUSE" facilityName="Web Store Warehouse" description="Warehouse exclusively for the Web Store " ownerPartyId="Company" defaultInventoryItemTypeId="NON_SERIAL_INV_ITEM" defaultWeightUomId="WT_lb" defaultDaysToShip="25" geoPointId="9000"/>
