WorkEffort question
Hi ofbizians,
I am looking at WorkEfforts and i am little confused. I see that orders,
quotes, requests can be associated to WorkEfforts. This is what i need. My
question is why this connection (for example OrderHeaderWorkEffort enity) do
not use fromDate - thruDate pattern ? If i delete an order from workeffort
it is removed from OrderHeaderWorkEffort entity and it is not logged
anywhere that this order was associated to this workeffort.
I checked in Data Model book but could not see anything related to this
entity. May be i am missing something obvious.
Any help is appreciated.

Jacopo,
I also had this in mind but was not sure that it is a good idea. (Also i was
afraid to manipulate so many tasks :)
Now i am sure that this is the right way. I should create a main task, and
child tasks for every order associated to the main task.

What about using one task per order? In this way when the task is
completed-->the order is ready too; you can group together many tasks
associating them to one work effort (if you need it).
Does it make sense?

David,

I want to create workEffort (tasks) to users, then to associate orders to
this task, meaning this person with this task is responsible for taking care
(= completing the order, and RECEIVING PAYMENTS for the order invoices) of
these orders. But at some point i want to know which orders are ready and
could be removed from task (workEffort). Inserting from thru dates, i can
track which orders were associated and when removed (completed) from task.
This is why i need from thru dates and even statusId fields in
OrderHeaderWorkEffort.
Donot understand me wrong. I am not saying that these fields should be
added. I am just asking what is the purpose of this entity and "is it a good
idea to add these fields and commit back to ofbiz" ?
Thanks for commenting and your time.

This probably isn't what you're looking for, but is the real answer
to the question:
What would it mean to have (or what would you do with) from/thru
dates on that entity?
That's why they aren't there.

Jacques,
Not WorkEffortAssoc , i am asking about OrderHeaderWorkEffort entity.
It has only two fields :
<field name="orderId" type="id-ne"></field>
<field name="workEffortId" type="id-ne"></field>
This entity is populated from WorkEffort->Orders screen. There you can add
order Ids to the current workeffort. But there is also a delete button,
which removes this workEffort <-->OrderHeader association.
If we add from thru dates to this entity, we can keep the associated orders
history.
Before creating a jira issue, i wanted to ask is there a special reason for
not adding from-thru date fields to OrderHeaderWorkEffort entity?
Any feedback is appreciated.

Re: WorkEffort question
Posted by Bilgin Ibryam <bi...@iguanait.com>.
May be someone can give me an idea, how can i associate orders and created
invoices to a person who should be responsible for completing the orders and
receiving the payments to invoices. For now i guess only through creating
workeffort and using OrderHeaderWorkEffort to assign orders ?
Any comments are appreciated.
