http://jira.undersunconsulting.com/browse/OFBIZ-83That's pretty close to what we need except for the fact the parent
product disappears from the order when it is saved... My current
on-the-fly kit system implements kits so that the parent product
always stays on the order, and the component products may be hidden
from the end user. This way, if the customer orders a 'Garden
Salad' item, their receipts/order history will show the 'Garden
Salad', and not just a bunch of lettuce, onions, tomatoes, etc. To
implement this, there are order detail attributes such as
'kit_parent_order_line' (which order line does this component belong
to), 'kit_visible' (whether or not to display this component to the
user -- usually no), 'kit_mod_qty' (whether the component's quantity
can be modified), and a few other more obscure attributes.
Maybe I've found my first OFBiz customization project...
As for pre-assembled 'kits': would OFBiz handle these via the
manufacturing application? What is the easiest way to manufacture
a product from other component products? I've played around with
the OFBiz manufacturing application, but the terminology ('routing',
production runs, etc.) is alien to me. I am looking for a simple
way to create product X out of components Y and Z. Is there an item
in the demo data that gets manufactured in such a way?
THANKS!
