> Implement Party lookup by External Id
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: OFBIZ-382
> URL:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-382> Project: OFBiz (The Open for Business Project)
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: party
> Reporter: John Martin
> Priority: Minor
>
> It would be helpful for anyone whom is integrating ofBiz with an external application to be able to expose the externalId property in the Party entity.
> The tasks to complete include:
> - Update the findparty.ftl to include the prompt/form input field for the external id
> - Update the PartyServices.findParty() method to include the logic to handle the externalId argument
> - Add new method getPartyFromExternalId to PartyServices
> - Add getPartyFromExternalId service definition in Party servicedef/services_view.xml
> - Add misc local strings to UI label resource file
> Need to determine if the External Id: input form field should be configuarable so that it only appears if feature is enabled.
