-----------------------------------------
Thanks Adrian,
I added FEDEX with role CARRIER to a facility I created for DemoSupplier along with a POSTAL_ADDRESS ContactMech but did not find a way to related the carrier shipment methods to the facility. The FacilityCarrierShipment entity seems to have been created to the store such information but I don't think a form exists yet to manipulate the data so creating a form to manipulate the data in the FacilityCarrierShipment entity will be handled by this issue.
Using the FacilityCarrierShipment entity only seems relevant for purchase orders because multiple facilities could be assigned to a single store and determining which shipment methods should be available based on the entity in such cases would be very difficult. For example, if a customer purchases two different products with inventory for each in two different store facilities that do not share common carrier shipment methods, two different shipment methods would have to be chosen by the customer for each facility.

> OFBiz should be improved to allow shipment methods to be selected for a purchase order from a supplier. Currently optionsettings.ftl sets the shipping method as a hidden field with value "STANDARD@_NA" for purchase orders. I have the need to keep track of the shipping methods as well as due dates of purchase order items.
> The shipment methods will have to somehow be related back to the supplier. Currently the shipment methods are determined by those related to the store but no store is associated with a cart for purchase orders.
> Stores could be created for all suppliers specifically for associating carriers and shipment methods and the order creation form could be updated so that the supplier store is selected instead of the supplier party. The ProductStore payToPartyId field could be used to identify the supplier that is supposed to be associated with the store.
> Anyone else have some ideas?
