Hi there Vincius,
Please don't take it personally and please to not consider this message a lack of respect.
Then, the next step was to seriously read the source code and understand how the things are done. The only *real* way in OpenSource. We didn't even considered the docs provided commercially. Those were bought *after* we were sure we understand what can be done with OFBiz .. code and implementation wise.
I see here you're going to take a big responsibility: "...run OFBIZ to Various Companies"
Vincius, if those companies will be your future clients, then the responsibility is huge and please be sure that you understand very good how ofbiz works; philosophy, existing features, customization and .. deployment. Omitted from this very short list of TODOs is: legacy systems integration and legacy data migration! Treat this aspect superficially and is enough to drag yourself into a technical conflict between old, legacy systems/datasets and OFBiz, if you are not prepared. Trust me, you can install OFBiz thousands of times but fail at the end if you're not prepared to import legacy data into the new system. How can you then be successful if you don't know the internal of OFBiz framework? This is Open Source, Vincius, and as an Open source member myself, I am giving you a friendly advice: read first the books (links posted above) and then jump to the sources and stay there for 1-2 months! For God crying loud man, this is an ERP framework, not a tiny library. Test various hardware scenarios and stress test your mock deployments with data that simulates the approximative load of your customers. Be prepared for unexpected when you'll make plans to migrate data from the old systems to the OFBIZ domain model.
Reading all your postings on this mail list, and seeing the kind of troubles you have, I do believe that if you really need to implement something commercially and fast ... then you're maybe looking for professional support. This can be expensive .. but safe! I am sure that on this list there are professional and experienced users able to help you with this; don't worry, I am not one of them :) This is under no circumstances an advertising nor representing a niggardly personal interest, is a pure friendly advice. Take it or ignore it.
Everybody on this list will kindly help you if ... you can understand the kind of explanations you receive. A good advice is as good as its usage;)
Vincius, as yourself, I am an OFBIZ user and I am representing here the overall experience accumulated by my team and my own thoughts only. I am not affiliated with OFBIZ and I am not representing here the oppinions of my employer. All these words, I repeat, represent a friendly advice only. I hope you'll interpret it wisely.
Good luck Vincius and thank you LIST :) for supporting my 2 Canadian ;) cents opinion on this topic.
Sincerely,
:)florin

Vinicius,
Please don't take this personally, but I don't respond well to pressure and manipulation.
The documentation site is what it is and while we try to put information in there that is as useful as possible to the widest audience possible, with the scope of OFBiz and all of the possible ways to use the system it is hard to predict what people might want to do with it.
So, I appreciate your feedback and hopefully with more information about your needs we can help you out. In that light the OFBiz Users mailing list (which has nothing to do with Undersun or the Undersun Online Documentation) happens to be a great place to discuss this.
In other words, I'm not sure if documentation will meet your needs. It sounds like what you need is analysis, and $4.95 worth of discounted documentation (even if purchased multiple times by different people in the same company) probably won't meet your needs.
You mention you'd like to know about Multi Company in OFBiz, what exactly do you mean by that?
On the question about the permission, this might have just been a typo in the email but the permission should be "CATALOG_ADMIN" and not "CATALOG_ADM".

David,
The online documents in the site Undersun is incomplete. For example: Create Employer. And others.
I very need to know all about the Security.
My problem: I am giving the permisson CATALOG_ADM to a one User and when he to do the Login is displayed a message: This user not permission to the application.
I would like to know too all about Multi Company in The OFBIZ and I buied the document for this.
Thanks
