See margin (total price-total cost) in Sales Order to approve it

[Gabriel Oberreuter]

Hi all, I am Gabriel Oberreuter and am new to OFBiz. First, thanks to this community for this project! ;)

I am in the process of deciding which Information System to implement at the company I work for, and I am a big supporter of OFBiz. There are a couple of things that must be cleared beforehand, though.

We want to be able to see the margin (total price - total cost of the items) of a Sales Order before approving it. This has been one of the most important ways our company has to decide which sales to execute. Does OFBiz have a better or different way to provide this kind of information to the Sales Order approver? (I mean in the out of the box ofbiz, I am using trunk).

If not, how do usually approvers decide (using ofbiz of course) which projects (or basically sales order) to approve?

Thanks!

Hi,

There is many type of price in ProductPrice entity, you can define average cost for all items and calculate margin from orderItem price - item avarage cost.

Thanks Paramjit,

Then I will be thinking of a way of implementing an application (or a new tab in the order application) which contains, for each sales order, the estimated cost of that order. The idea is to provide the margin (or profit) of the SO to the approver, so he can make a decision on approving it or not. As this is quite common for us, I thought maybe OFBiz has this somehow implemented out of the box.

If anybody does a similar process and consider the margin to approve the SO or not, and mind sharing how to do it, I would appreciate it!
