Hi OFBiz community,
I have a request to implement group ordering. That means orders are only full filled when a certain quantity of a product is ordered before a certain date. When not, the orders are automatically canceled. The current proposal is: Add the following fields to product: groupOrderRequiredQuanty : fixed-point (zero or null: not active) groupOrderEndDate : date-time When this is set: 1. inventory is not checked 2. order item stays at the 'entered' status Regular job in the background checks for these orderitems and will set to approved when the orderitems in total reach the product required quantity before the end date and the inventory is available. any comments or suggestions? Regards, Hans |
Some extra requirements:
1. It seems a start date is also required because deals are often announced before they are active 2. The same product can be ordered as a grouporder and as a normal product. This can be done with list/default price for normal ordering and a new 'grouporder' price for group ordering.

If the same rules apply to all orders, then it seems to me you would
want a separate entity to hold the group order properties: groupOrderId* productId productPriceTypeId fromDate thruDate orderQty -Adrian On 11/12/2011 3:16 AM, Hans Bakker wrote: > Some extra requirements: > 1.

Hi Adrian,
thanks for your comment, I agree with the separate entity, because there is a also requirement that history is also to be kept. Not sure about the productPiceType field? We could use a standard type and use the from/thrue dates on the productprice to determine to which price it belongs?
