newbie how to get a service into book-keeping

[ofbizlists]

Hi,
How do I get a service into the books?
Here are my assertions: (correct me if I'm wrong)

1) A Product must be shipped or packed before an invoice is generated and the transaction put in the books.

2) A service (which is a special type of Product) cannot be shipped or packed.

So I must be missing something, if the only way to get the Order into the accounting books (convert it to a sale) is to ship it and a Service (product) cannot be shipped, then I cannot convert a Service into a sale.
is there some other mechanism to get the fulfillment of a service into the accounting books, ie convert a service into a sale?

Thanks Michael

[BJ Freeman]

need to know more about the service like is this something you do or
something someone else does that is not connected with ofbiz

Thanks for the prompt reply!
Yes, the service is something that our company does. (Sorry for the ambiguity, I'm not referring to an ofbiz service in the ofbiz java/mini-lang/ECA sense of the term.)
To illustrate, we sell some Products, for example we sell some computers, and we offer some Services, for example we fix your computer if it's broken. We charge for the Products and Services. So I can enter a new Product and ship it (a new PC)and enter a payment and see all the workings in the accounting books. But if I create a new Product that is a Service, does it make sense to 'ship' that Service? like this:
Catalog | Main | Create New Product | <enter some info here> ... Product Type dropdown: I choose Service | give it a price, put it in a category and a catalog etc

I place an order for that Product who's Product Type is Service. Go through the entire order process, when I finally get to the Order #WS12345 Information page, this order is still only an order, it isnt a sale, so it's not in the accounting books. What do I do next to convert this order into a sale? With a regular Product (Finished Good) I can ship it and it converts into a sale and I see it in the accounting books. However, with a Service, is it appropriate to 'ship' the service? Do I click on 'quick ship' to indicate that the service has been provided?

Thanks for your help. Michael

Here is the error when I try to quick ship a Product who's Product Type Id is Service. I can post more of the log if you like. I dont get the ProductAverageCost problem with a regular Product? BTW, I have already added a Price Type: Average Cost, Purpose: Purchase/Initial. Do I have to link it to Party Company?

Thanks again for the help. Michael

No, that product price is not the product average cost.  Product  
average cost is calculated as the average cost of inventory items  
received.

The financials module should be modified to use a standard cost if no  
average cost is found.  This would work better for your needs and  
make it a little more flexible.  You can set up standard costs in  
Products > Costs.

I'll add it as a TODO.

In the meantime, you can go into WebTools > entity data maintenance  
and manually insert a ProductAverageCost.  Sorry.

Hey -

we made a fix in financials.  Try it now?

There is some sort of disconnect between svn-financials and svn-ofbiz.

When I emptied out my ofbiz installation and installed ofbiz from incubator svn
and new financials from opentaps I get this when running ant...

BUILD FAILED
/usr/local/ofbiz/ofbiz/build.xml:97: The following error occurred while
executing this line:
/usr/local/ofbiz/ofbiz/hot-deploy/financials/build.xml:95:
/usr/local/ofbiz/ofbiz/base/lib not found.

(yes, the double ofbiz is correct)

I even set ofbiz.dir in the build.xml as instructed, and it still happened.
Then it hit me, I don't have a base/lib directory

The lines in question from the financial's build.xml are the bottom three
  <target name="classpath">
         <path id="local.class.path">
             <fileset dir="${ofbiz.dir}/base/lib" includes="*.jar"/>
             <fileset dir="${ofbiz.dir}/base/lib/commons" includes="*.jar"/>
             <fileset dir="${ofbiz.dir}/base/build/lib" includes="*.jar"/>

Is it alright to delete these, or should there be a base directory that has
libraries that are not in the framework or application directory path in the
current svn that is in the apache incubator svn of Apache OFBiz?

Hi Walter,

the base component has been moved inside of the framework component.

There is a patch file in the financials/ directory which you need to  
patch the build.xml file with.
