Hi Dan,
A (new) retail store can be added in the Catalog application. And of course via entity management in the WebTools application.

Hi,
Thought I'd summarize with some specific steps since I've made progress, but still fail (writing down to explain to others might help me catch my own mistakes too). Problem: I need WebPOS to work on a brand new install using my own hand-entered data for a real retail store (versus demo data). WebPOS login page can be reached, but login cannot occur because there are no terminals. Apparently terminals cannot be added until there is a retail store. Creating the retail store and associating terminals is failing. The explicit steps: I drop the PostgreSQL DBs (to clear old data), recreate them, then run: ./gradlew 'ofbiz --load-data readers=seed' I then create "admin" user via: ./gradlew loadAdminUserLogin -PuserLoginId=admin Start ofbiz: ./gradlew ofbiz Under the setup app I create Company (requires admin password update first, Party Id "Company" created by manually typing in info of a real company): https://localhost:8443/ofbizsetup/control/initialsetup Go to Catalog Manager->Stores, click New Product Store. "Primary Store Group Id" can't be selected or entered ("Not Applicable [_NA_]" is all that is there), the drop-down is empty other than "Not Applicable" (so I pick Not Applicable). Set Store Name to "Main Store". It isn't a demo store, and I don't know what the effect is, but I pick drop-down of "Is Demo Store" as "N". Everything else is unmodified and default. Click Update. Error rejects adding the store: "Inventory Facility Id Required". Summary 1: Store cannot be added via Catalog Manager until an Inventory Facility Id is created. I switch now to Applications->Facility Manager. "Main" or "Facilities" is only for searching, not for adding a Facility. This is where the prior email reply mentions to do this under Asset Management, but Asset Management->Facility is also only for searching, not for creating a Facility. Perhaps it is a Fixed Asset? Summary 2: The required Facility Id of Summary 1 cannot be added under Applications->Facility Manager. Asset Management->Facility is also a search mechanism, and cannot be used to add the required facility. Under Fixed Asset I can click "New Fixed Asset". Is it "Real Estate", "Property", or "Other"? Real Estate is chosen since it is most descriptive (Property might be a tract of land, Real Estate is more specific since it implies a building on the land). When I get to RoleType ID I am convinced this is not the correct place to create a facility. Summary 3: I can add a new fixed asset, but it does not seem to give me a Facility Id. Perhaps I missed a detail. Under Applications->Facility Manager->Facility Groups I can click "New Group". The only part I can logically add is Facility Group Name, and I add "Retail Facility" in that text entry box. This fails. Although nothing is marked as mandatory, submitting this requires a currently missing parameter, "createFacilityGroup.facilityGroupTypeId". I don't really know if the Facility type is Management Structure, or if it is Pricing Group, but it seems Management Structure is more logical for a structure serving a store...I pick this. It works, I now have a Management Structure with Facility Group Name "Retail Facility". I don't have a Facility Id. Summary 4: I can add a Facility Group, but I'm unsure how to use this to create a Facility. I don't believe this is the right approach. I'm now at a loss as to how to add a Facility since I've only found how to edit a facility which already exists in Asset Manager; Facility Manger is definitely the wrong place. If Asset Manager can add a facility and produce a Facility Id, how is this done? Do I need to think of my Retail Store as a Fixed Asset of type Real Estate? Thanks! |

Hi
I'm not sure if this would help, but the readers has only seed data, perhaps adding seed-initial might solve some problems? > On Apr 7, 2017, at 12:28 AM, [hidden email] wrote: > > Hi, > > Thought I'd summarize with some specific steps since I've made progress, but still fail (writing down to explain to others might help me catch my own mistakes too). > > Problem: I need WebPOS to work on a brand new install using my own hand-entered data for a real retail store (versus demo data).

Hi Dan,
Thank you for taking the time to write your experiences down and posting them here. I feel confident that members of this community can find improvement points to make OFBiz better. While it may create confusion, the Facility Management component isn't purely about managing facilities (as in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facility_management) but more about warehousing (inventory/stock control, receiving and shipping goods). The Asset Maint component seems (to me) the logical place to creating new facilities, as they may be closely linked to fixed assets (buildings, etc). As in associations between the FixedAsset (the building) and facility (the office, the warehouse, etc). How unfortunate that it isn't in OOTB.

Hi,
I did try readers of both seed and seed-initial, this does not seem to have changed anything. So...how was the retail store in the sample data added? Was the building itself added by XML file edit/import (I don't see how asset management can be used to do this...loosely speaking one could add real estate or property, but I've not found any way to mark that asset as a facility to create a required facilityId)? For OOTB, is this only possible through XML edits? I could see this as possible if the demo data were inherited from a prior release and actual interface was not used to initially load the data.

Hello,
Okay so it seems so far like the problem you are facing is simply your inability to use the WebPOS application because there are no terminals defined. Is this correct? If yes, then this is mostly likely just some missing seed / demo data that we should add to the WebPOS component. I suggest to create a JIRA for this and we can tackle this issue over there to resolve it permanently.

Hi,
Yes, this is how the problem started, and the end goal, to add a terminal so WebPOS can be logged in to. However, this also exposed a chain of issues with no ability to enter data through a standard mechanism while trying to create a retail store via "Catalog Manager->Stores, click New Product Store" (a terminal for WebPOS was the proverbial tip of the iceberg). You can't add the WebPOS until you have a terminal, and you can't add a terminal until you have a store, and you can't add a store until you have solved "Inventory Facility Id Required"...and there appears to be no way to add an asset/property/real-estate/facility which can be set up to have an Inventory Facility Id, so the store can't be added. Should I add a JIRA bug based on the entire chain of missing requirements leading up to the inability to log in to WebPOS? Thanks! ----- Original Message -----From: Taher Alkhateeb <[hidden email]>To: [hidden email]: Sat, 08 Apr 2017 09:16:21 -0000 (UTC)Subject: Re: WebPOS Setup Hello, Okay so it seems so far like the problem you are facing is simply yourinability to use the WebPOS application because there are no terminalsdefined.

It's up to you, but I would suggest to make it a comprehensive JIRA that
addresses all of your concerns, so maybe call it "unable to use WebPOS due to missing data" if you like. If that proves to be too big, we can always create sub tasks. It would be cool to get this thing working properly.

Hi,
Before I file the JIRA bug report, I want to check one more time about any ideas anyone might have on the particular blocker in the chain of requirements resulting in "Inventory Facility Id Required". This is currently at the root of the chain of details blocking WebPOS. In summary, I have not been able to figure out how to create an asset which is a facility producing "Inventory Facility Id". Neither asset nor facility applications seem to have a way of doing this. Does anyone have any last suggestion on something to try before filing the JIRA report? Thanks! ----- Original Message -----From: Taher Alkhateeb <[hidden email]>To: [hidden email]: Sat, 08 Apr 2017 16:34:21 -0000 (UTC)Subject: Re: WebPOS Setup It's up to you, but I would suggest to make it a comprehensive JIRA thataddresses all of your concerns, so maybe call it "unable to use WebPOS dueto missing data" if you like.

I guess it's best to look at the POS data when they were still existing, eg
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/branches/release15.12/specialpurpose/pos/data/DemoRetail.xml You might also need tp look into https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/branches/release15.12/specialpurpose/pos/data globally...
