Hi All,
I tried searching everywhere..but could not find an answer to my question... Scenario :- I would like to associate a product to a particular vendor. So when someone places an order places the order for that product, the order is visible to that vendor only. Is there any link where orders are displayed and processed vendor wise....meaning a vendor would see only order related to him and not other orders.....??? I was just wondering whether its possible or not.....and if yes then can someone please guide me through this... Thanks, Hardik |

Any one on this one????

Hi Hardik,
As per my knowledge concern, currently there is not such facility available in OFBiz. To achieve your goal, you have to prepare screens and permissions which allow user to access only those order which are associate with him only. (Logged in user should be vendor) -- Thanks And Regards Sumit Pandit On 13-Aug-09, at 7:49 PM, hardik7681 wrote: > > Hi All, > > I tried searching everywhere..but could not find an answer to my > question... > > Scenario :- I would like to associate a product to a particular > vendor.

Hi,
I don't know how is has to work normally. If you explain the business rules a little bit, I will test it on my e-commerce site.

Hi Eric,
The process is usually as follows: 1) The vendor list the items that he wants to sell through the administration. 2) Products are listed on the e commerce site. 3)A client buy the product. 4) An email is sent to the vendor to notify that the product has been sold. Also the vendor should be able to login to the administration and check his products, sales etc. This is the simplest way of business flow. regards, ioannis On Mon, Mar 10, 2014 at 3:31 PM, Eric.LENS [via OFBiz] <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi, > > I don't know how is has to work normally. > If you explain the business rules a little bit, I will test it on my > e-commerce site. > > Regards, > Eric > > -----Original Message----- > From: giannisapi [mailto:[hidden email]] > Sent: Monday, March 10, 2014 2:25 PM > To: [hidden email] > Subject: Re: Vendor Management > > hi all, > > did anyone had any success with this feature? > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Vendor-Management-tp164262p4648978.html > Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > ________________________________ > If you reply to this email, your message will be added to the discussion > below: > http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Vendor-Management-tp164262p4648979.html > To unsubscribe from Vendor Management, click here. > NAML |

Thanks Ioannis,
I will do a test this evening on the ecommerce platform, but I think this is at least not completely implemented in Ofbiz. I will verify and let you now the next 24 hours.

Ok I am since 2008 using Ofbiz and analysing the software but I have never been adding new software to the community although I should be able to do that if I had more time.

Ioannis,
First of all, ensure that you have your (business) definitions straight and that the parties you communicate with understand and share your definitions. The noun Vendor can have (and probably will have) different meanings to different persons depending on the domain the work in/come from. According to investopedia it can be both a person or a business entity. And that (as should be regarded as obvious) as wel an internal party as an external entity. From your descriptions I gathered that it is a person executing a business process, but whether he is part of your organisation or not I could not determine. If he is part of your organisation, he could be regarded as internal sales, sales representative, sales back office clerk, or any other role you have defined in your organisation. If he is external, is he then a sales representative working on commission basis or a reseller (who buys and sells for own risk and profit). Determining (and communicating) such aspects up front enables your peers to comprehend the challenge/opportunity to the fullest and helps them to help you in finding the answer and/or solution.

Thank you, Eric,
But in what sense? Do you feel that it is missing something? Something that needs to be added to ensure that Ioannis (and others) are not led astray?

No Pierre, it is a good explanation which gives a broad comprehension of the possible business process which could be active there.
But I appreciate such explanations on the business level. I had in the past and still now sometimes often problems understanding the business rules behind all functionalities in ofbiz. I am not sure if they are good explaned anywhere in the documentation (in the past !). For someone like me, who supports my wife being busy with ecommerce, and we choosed in 2008 for ofbiz and took all ERP functionalities as a free gift with the ecommerce functionalities, we had to explore without any background on ERP software , what the different functionalities meant. Especially the different possible roles which are available for parties and party groups where unknown for us. So all kind of ERP management functionalities, for example inventory management, was unknown for us. And without a good business explanation, it becomes more difficult to understand the technical functionalities behind it.

Eric,
That is the reason why implementing a large scale business management solution (as OFBiz is) takes so much effort and cost so much. Irrespect whether you choose one of the major brands or an open source product. Anybody who thinks that taking a software solution from the shelf (downloading from a website comes to mind) delivers instant succes like a Mars bar still an acute sense of hunger, is a fool of his own believers. The approach that has the highest guarantee for success is (and has always been) to incorporate the most knowledgeable persons around or otherwise have enough time on your own hands to figure it all out by yourself.

Hi to All,
Pierre thanks a lot for your comments. It will help us to establish a good communication from now on I hope. First of all let me clear what a vendor means as to my understanding and as to how I want a vendor to be treated by the software. Lets assume from now on the my company is called voidcompany. By Vendor I mean a legit and established business which can sell goods or services legitimately. I mean it much in the way amazon used the word. In amazon an established business uses amazon as a platform where it can sell its products. So in my case, any company should use voidcompany as a platform to sell goods. Voidcompany would then list the items on its ecommerce store. Once a product is sold, an email will be send to the vendor to notify them that on of their products is sold. Furthermore, any vendor should be able to login to the administration panel of voidcompany and do the following activities and probably more: Add products for sell View sold items Remove products update product status, quantity availability etc I am open to further explain my thoughts and discuss it further. Also I would very much like to know if anyone else here would like to spend time on this. I myself am a software developer and can help in developing the functionality, but I have to admit that I do not yet know ofbiz very well. |

OFBiz treats vendors in the same way. The business model you describe is
typically called "Marketplace" or "Shopping Mall" in the OFBiz community. OFBiz supports the marketplace business model, but there is no vendor portal like the one you describe. Building out a vendor portal should be fairly easy be reusing existing artifacts.

Hi Eric,
I am not in a particular rush or something. I am investigating this for a business of mine. It is a functionality that I would much like to have in my ecommerce store. For this I am willing to devote time and effort. Would you be interested in this idea too? |

Hi ,
I have the same aim to add such functionality in my ecommerce store too. For this I am willing to devote time and effort also. I am very interested to participate in the development. I was 5 years project manager but since 6 months I am developing also in java (Spring) and because I started to implement ofbiz in 2008 already I learned already a lot of the software and the software architecture. So I have often ideas what existing functionalities exist in ofbiz and where to find the java code . Some parts I know better than other parts. But I think it is a good idea to work together.
