computer store - repair requests tracking

[computer store]

HelloI am trying to use ofbiz in a computer store.  Following is some high
level process.
Customers come in and give a computer for repair.
The store/receptionist would like to create the customer request/complaints
of the computer.  They would enter the model and description of the desktop
for identification.
The request will then be assigned to a technician.
The technician should be able to see his work/tasks.  Send reminders for
urgent requests etc.

Can you do this using workeffort in ofbiz? How much is OOTB?  Can anyone
help on this on consulting role.  Please post your replies or send PM.

Thanks
varun

I also want to tie it to orders and invoices.  Seems like this is possible
with OOTB. How do you create a workrequest? and then when it is done, how do
you raise the invoice.

you should read the Data model books reference on the ofbiz.apache.org.
book two has a model for Professional services that should get you going
in the right direction.
My suggestion is you look at the configuration way to make a service
order, on the ecommerce side.
so each product would be a type of service you provide.
repair
upgrade

my 2 cents
