Two companies with the same warehouse.

[Javier Hdez]

Hello,

With Ofbiz it's possible to have two companies that share the same warehouse?

For example, Company A buys 100 chairs and stores them.

One day the company B has an order for a customer of 20 chairs but only has 10 in stock.

Can Ofbiz generate an Order Invoice to company A (which has 100 units) of 10 chairs so that the order can be delivered ?. Also, can company A generate a Sales Invoice of 10 chairs for company B?

And the same process for the inverse, that is:

Company B buys 100 tables.

One day the company A needs 30 tables, but its stock is 0. Could I use 30 of the stock of company B? And that automatically generated an Order Invoice in company A and a Sales Invoice in company B?

Is this possible with Ofbiz? If possible, do I need to create a plugin for it?

Best regards

Hi Javier,

Maybe another person will answer specifically to your question, but it seems to me that you rather want to use the drop shipping

Yes it is possible with OFBiz. You don't need any plugin for this. All you
need to do is data setup only.

If company A want to trade with company B then company B should be the
customer of company A, vice versa is applicable for the second case.

Thank you Jacques,

I was seeing it several days ago but I was not sure what it was to serve me.

Best regards.

Hello Vaibhav Jain,

Thank you very much.

Do I need to have 2 Ofbiz installations?

Best regards

[Vaibhav Jain]

Hello Javier,

You don't need 2 OFBiz installation.

Inventory Item has an attribute ownerPartyId which is used to define the
ownership of product if multiple companies are using single
facility/warehouse.

It might happen that all use cases of inventory ownerPartyId are not
working OOTB.

For initial setup, you can use two different virtual facilities/warehouse
for different companies(It is also recommended). This is working OOTB.

If you want to manage inventory of multiple companies in one facility then
this can be handled using ownerPartyId attribute of inventoryItem entity.

Thanks & Regards,

Vaibhav Jain
