product store shipment meth

[Adam Heath-2]

How can I do date-like filtering on ProductStoreShipmentMeth?

I see no fromDate/thruDate fields in ProductStoreShipmentMeth,
ShipmentCostEstimate, CarrierShipmentMethod, nor ShipmentMethodType.

How can I handle the cost estimates changing in the future, how can I
cycle out old values, while still maintaining any existing database
references?

Hi Adam,
Go to catalog >> stores >> select a store say 9000
Go to Shipping we can remove the product store shipping association which
will not expires but delete the record.
Go to Shipping Estimates will give you opportunity to change the estimates.
I think these business process will be able to handle all the scenarios you
are talking about.

Well, I'd like to see what the values were in the past, for historical
reasons.  This could be done like any other date-filter based entity.

I do see that ProductStoreShipmentMeth(and it's ShipmentCostEstimate)
is only used to provide a list of available shipment types, and once
the order is created, it is never used again.  OrderItemShipGroup just
references CarrierShipmentMethod.

I don't like deleting ProductStoreShipmentMeth.

There are several entities which have from and thru date attributes but they
can be enable the record again in future. But once the shipment estimates is
increase or company stop to use any shipment method due to any reason then
record for them is none of use for the company. It is just my opinion
because I'm not able to see the use of which shipment method company uses in
past wanna to look at.
I'm for the existing handling if it will change then also I do not have any
problem, but I believe the OFBiz Data Model is design in such manner that
all generic requirements can be handle using it. If we are changing it then
it is our specific wish or requirement.
