Swapnil Shah commented on OFBIZ-8014:
-------------------------------------
Many times there are different roles in the organization who are assigned to manage products(e.g. managed by Merchandiser/Sales Manager) and Supplier/Vendor (e.g. managed by Purchase Manager/buyer or Supplier itself in VMI mode). As long as both Purchase/Sales Manager are internal employee or same person and both could have similar access, it would still work but every time it might not be true.
I also tried to review the existing Product component (under catalog webapp) and it could still be right candidate but under current screen placeholder (i.e.,
https://ofbiz-vm.apache.org:8443/catalog/control/EditProductSuppliers?productId=MAT_A_COST) it lists pricing and other attributes from all the different suppliers for a product. But there is no screen to list all the products offered by any given supplier at one place. Apart from this, If a user from any given given Supplier/Vendor (in supplier role) is granted access to this component/screen to manage it's own set of products then viewing/editing other supplier's pricing attributes etc. which should be strictly prohibitive.
If under Party webapp it looks to increase the complexity for component management, I think we should be fine adding a separate placeholder in catalog app itself which could support following :
# Add permission levels to manage if logged in user(e.g buyer) can have access to all the products from all supplier vis-a-vis access for specific supplier to access only it's own offered catalog products.
# Screen could list supplier-wise products with all the different attributes like pricing etc. from SupplierProduct (eventually any edits made here is going to persist in this entity only)
Let's cogitate further if this trade off could reduce the complexity level,
> Introduce the "Product" Screen under Party app to manage the products supplied by any supplier

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-8014> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: Release Branch 14.12, Upcoming Branch, Release Branch 15.12
> Reporter: Swapnil Shah
> Assignee: Swapnil Shah
> Attachments: SupplierProduct.png
>
>
> Currently, upon logging into the Party application (or login as supplier itself) and go to any specific supplier view then there is no way to manage the list of supplied products.
> # We can try introducing the "Product" tab/screen along with other tabs. (to begin with we can simply mimic the Supplier screen from Catalog app e.g.,
https://ofbiz-vm.apache.org:8443/catalog/control/EditProductSuppliers?productId=MAT_A_COST)
> # We can also choose to show the "Products" tab for only Parties in supplier role and later can try to extend for other roles with further needed refinements.
> Please refer to attached screenshot for the same.
