Hey folks,
New to OFBiz, just have some quick questions which only require really
rough answers, just to gauge if I am going to be in over my head.
Basically, at my workplace, we require a tracking mechanism for every
single length of steel we receive and must be able to track that through
to every individual part that is made from that piece. After it is made
into a part, it also must be traceable to the original raw material but
also be
traceable as a part in it's own right as it will have attached
measurement data and what not. I noticed there is serialised inventory
however it
seems it requires manual entry. I was wondering if the framework as it
stands is capable of introducing a new entity Serial with customised names
(so for us it would be IND [0-9]+) and a generation strategy (sequence,
hi-lo, or any other custom style of generation) which could be attached
to any product.
This is basically the main feature which will define whether we can
utilise OFBiz and in fact we have faced this problem continuously while
evaluating
numerous commercial packages.
If this is still a possibility but not yet possible with the current
system then I would be more than happy to devote my time and company's
resources
to implementing these features as I believe it would be very important
for critical manufacturing industries.
Related to this would be a data capture module which would associate
manufacturing data to items... I noticed that OFBiz is geared towards very
standard product/store kinda services as opposed to job-shop like
environments. Any comments regarding this?
Nice to meet you all, and I am sure I will be seeing (chatting,
mailing?) you all in the near future.
