Adrian, since we already have the person/company relationship in the party general list I would rather use that relationship. Internal organization could be confused with the company internal organization of the company running the system and with accounting.

For nicolas, sure, any addition will have this disadvantage. should be not not add any functionality any more? this is the second time we get this request, should we implement it over and over?

Currently i am thinking adding a general.properties system variable to indicate the major purpose of the system: b2c (as currently) and b2b to be implemented.

Hi Hans,

The most of the works on addons concerns the B2B with order, crm, quote, service, stock. I don't think it's a good solution to import in OFBiz all functionalities B2B and B2C with parameters selection. This may make them difficult to maintain business services.

No, I am not implying that. Like you said, the current system does not work that way.

if they go to ecommerce the entered order is assigned to the related internal organization? Same for quote and request? they can see all orders for that internal organization?

Actually, it is quite simple, and I have discussed this many times. The user is assigned to an internal organization (using the UserPreference entity). When a user creates an order, they are assigned to the order in the role of ORDER TAKER and their internal organization is assigned to the order in the role of INTERNAL ORGANIZATION. Finding orders by user or by internal organization is easy.

Adrian it is much more than that, when he enters an order in ecommerce the order should be for his company and not for him personally, he should be able to see the data/oders of his company (also entered by others) and there are many other cases......

There is no need to make it mandatory, just supply a default if one isn't explicitly assigned (the "Company" internal organization for example).

At the moment the system is focused being a b2c (business to consumer) system. We are now getting more and more requests for systems mainly for b2b (business to business)

The main difference is that in the b2c case the order/invoice is for the person and in a b2b the order/invoice is for the related company of that person.

In the registration process a person can register referring to a company, a second person can register to the same company however somewhere needs to be a approval process.....

I was thinking introducing a system parameter to make the related company of a person mandatory or not....

any thoughts on this?

Hans
