webshop - selecting an item

[Siegfried Theobald]

Hi all,
 
I am using ofbiz 16.11.04.
I have created a customer and have chosen him in order to sell and item.
The item has a sufficient stock quantitiy (assigned to the Web Store Warehouse ), but cannot be selected using the product search.
 
What I have to do, to make it possible to sell this item?

Thanks.
 
Siegfried

Hi Siegfried

I think you will need to set the product so that it can be sold even when you don't have enough inventory. I think you can set it on the following page:

https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/EditProduct?productId=GZ-1000

Click the plus sign next to Inventory and set the 'Require Inventory' to be N.

See if that helps.

Thanks
Sharan

Hi Sharan,

thanks for your reply.
I changed the parameter, but it did not help.

Are there any requirements to items, in order to get them available in the web-pos-application?

Thank you

Best regards

Siegfried

Hi Siegfried

Sorry I misunderstood your problem. If you have a product that has enough stock but you can't see it on the ecommerce store then the product hasn't been added to the default search for the webstore.

You can have lots of products but you don't want to sell them all to customers so you can select which ones customers can see on the store.

Here are the categories and you will see that one of them is the default search

https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/FindCategory

So add your product to the default search category. You can do it in the following screen for your product.

https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/EditProductCategories?productId=GZ-1000

 and see if appears.

Thanks
Sharan

Hi Sharan,
no problem and thanks for the information, which helped me one step further.
It is now possible to select the item, but not by using the ID. I have to select the item by using the product name.
 
Now there is another problem.
The system says, that there is no selling price available and for this reason the selected item cannot be displayed in the cart.
 
I am wondering, because I have assigned a selling to this item.
 
https://localhost:8443/catalog/control/EditProductPrices?productId=10001
 
Do you have another idea, what I probably have forgotten to do?
 
Thank you
 
Best regards
Siegfried

Hi Siegfried

I'm not sure what is happening that it won't let you search for the product id and without your actual setup it will be difficult to replicate.

For the pricing - it maybe that you don't have a List Price setup for the product. I think you need to have a List Price setup as this is the main price used to calculate any discounts or promotions. When you create a price for a product the default price type is the Default Price not the List Price.

You can have multiple prices on the product but you will need a product list price.

Try adding a List Price for your product and see if that helps.

Thanks
Sharan

Hi Sharan,
 
thanks for your help.
The settings have been ok, but I found out, that the webshop cannot process selling prices in Euro.
If I switch to Dollar, I can select the item.
 
Do you or anyone else know, what I have to do, so that the webshop will accept Euro as a currency?
 
Next question is how to finish such a sale with the webshop.
 
I assigned the sale to a customer and used the check out and after that the bill has been paid cash.
Everything seems to be fine, but I cannot find any sale in the sales report or a stock movement concerning the sold item.
After the payment, the screen did not changend,  but eventually this ist normal.
It seems for me, that anything is still not ok.
 
General question.
 
Eventually, I will start a business using ofibz.
The functionalities of ofbiz, described on the Apache website fit to my requirements.
Therefore I am trying to run the most important processes with ofibz in order to find out, if the system works to my confidence.
As I regularly come to a point, where my work does not go on, I am looking for a possiblity to speed up this evaluation process.
 
The most important issues are for me at the moment:
 
master data management
SCM
ecommerce
 
Do you have an idea?
 
Thank you
 
Best regards
 
Siegfried

Hi Siegfried

I've included some responses inline

The default currency is related to the main company setup. If have installed OFBiz with the demo data, then all the setup is based on the main organisation having USD as its main currency. So the products default currency will be USD too. You can specify prices in multiple currencies for the same product, and depending on the customer's currency it can select the correct price.

As an example look at the price setup for product GZ-1000 in the demo data.

The demo data also includes a customer called Eurocustomer that has a default currency of Euro, so if Eurocustomer buys product GZ-1000 it should give the Euro price.

>  
> Do you or anyone else know, what I have to do, so that the webshop will accept Euro as a currency?

What I think you are asking is can OFBiz be setup to have Euro as the default currency for the webshop and the answer is yes.  Essentially what you need to do is when you setup the main company, you need to specify the default currency to be Euro. The places it needs to be done are in Party Manager

https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/partymgr/control/editpartygroup?partyId=Company

Also in the accounting setup (look for Base Currency)
https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/accounting/control/AdminMain

And the e-commerce webstore (expand the localisation section)
https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/EditProductStore?productStoreId=9000

If you did the order via the webshop then you will need to login to the OFBiz backend applications to see the business side of the sale.

So if you login to Order Manager (using id admin and password ofbiz)

https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/ordermgr/control/main

you should see by default any sales made that day. You can use the Order List or Find Order options to locate and orders made


> After the payment, the screen did not changend,  but eventually this ist normal.
> It seems for me, that anything is still not ok.

This is an example of a completed Sales Order from the demo data

https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/ordermgr/control/orderview?orderId=Demo1002

Actually in this case, it demo receiving a credit card payment but you can see the main details and flow of product from inventory, to shipping and invoicing.

By master data do you mean things like product setup, warehouse /inventory locations, customers and suppliers?

> SCM

Suppliers process flow to inventory etc. This is all in OFBiz, you would just need to specify what you want and how you want to set it up

e-commerce was the first main OFBiz application so has a lot of functionality, and there are lots of customers using it. Perhaps some other members of the community could respond here to tell you their experiences.

I hope the things I've mentioned above help.
