If you want to discuss designs, then list the parties and their roles
and we can all agree on how those parties are related to orders and
other documents.
Or you can ignore everyone's advice and do as you please.
Also, this discussion should be on the dev list if anything is going to
be committed to the project.

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?
