Revision of product

Parm Lehal
Hello Ofbiz experts,

Is there any way to have multiple revisions of a product in Ofbiz? If yes,
then how is it handled on the  BOM side, if one revision is being phased
out on a certain date and next one being brought in?

Thanks and Regards,

Parminder Lehal

Seems like I am asking very boring question that no one seems to
respond.... Please, point to some clues... I need to find if/how Ofbiz can
handle multiple Product revisions.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Parminder,

Take a look at the ProductAssoc entity and ProductAssocType. In the
ProductAssocType you will find PRODUCT_REVISION type of association. Here
you can set the product revision and use the from date and thru date for
the phase out and in of particular revision.

Note that you need to add some custom logic for your requirement, but for
sure the logic will be around the type and entities I described.

Re: Revision of product

Parm Lehal
Thanks Rishi. I  had looked at the revision association but my question is
more geared towards MRP and inventory situations.

for example, ProductA has rev 1 and rev2

ProductA - Revision association with -ProductA_rev1
ProductA - Revision association with -ProductA_rev2

ProductA_rev2  New Version, Replacement association with ProductA_rev1


TopProduct EBOM association with  ProductA

If we want to run MRP on TOPProduct how will ProductA_rev1 or ProductA_rev2
inventory be considered ? Does that part also involve customization or
something is involved.  I want to do customization only where it is
absolutely necessary without losing any OOTB functionality.

This is only a very basic example. Further ProductA may have equivalent
parts with revisions or refurbished equivalents with further conditions
where equivalents can or can not be used. Ofbiz has pretty strong
functionalty but I am pitting it against SAP ....The goal is to build a
configurable product with 2000+ parts for 8+ markets(with different
regulatory requirements etc)  ......hence my motivation .........


Thanks and Regards,

Parminder Lehal
