Hi Jacques ,

Nice to hear from you and the List  ,
Once again i am on  OFBiz for a different project this time and loving it !


nextStepDate is available when we create the sales opportunity.

Many a times the lead needs to be followed up before deciding to convert it
to a
account/contact combination or creating a sales opportunity.

I feel That workflow of followup cannot be captured with the current data
model.

Although i try my best to use existing models , but To deal with this i
created
a new Entity  in a separate schema of my DB ( so as not to pollute ofbiz
entities)

\d contrib.lead_followup
                   Table "contrib.lead_followup"
     Column     |           Type           |       Modifiers
----------------+--------------------------+------------------------
 party_id       | character varying(20)    | not null
 role_type_id   | character varying(20)    | not null
 next_step      | text                     | not null
 next_step_date | timestamp with time zone | not null
 from_date      | timestamp with time zone | not null default now()
 thru_date      | timestamp with time zone |
Foreign-key constraints:
    "lead_followup_party_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (party_id, role_type_id)
REFERENCES ofbiz.party_role(party_id, role_type_id)

This serves my current purpose .
