Adding flex fields for additional data capture
Hi,
I am doing an implementation in Australia and our client has a
requirement to store the ABN and ACN numbers for a company customer, AKA
Party Group (I think). These fields for companies are localised to
Australia but probably not just to this one client.
Can anyone recommend the best approach to deal with this scenario, do I
just modify the party group entity?
Cheers,
Paul

You may consider to 'classify' your customer using the
PartyClassification entity... not really related to this, but maybe it
could work for you.
Kind regards,
Jacopo

Yep, that will do it.
It would be nice to identify though what type of number the customer has
given us, but this will work just fine.
Thanks for your help.

Are they used for fiscal purposes, like taxId?
If the answer is yes, then the right field in OFBiz is
PartyTaxAuthInfo.taxId

Hi Jacopo,
Sorry about the acronyms.
ABN: Australian Business Number - primarily used for small business
ACN: Australian Company Number - used for corporations
Every business in Australia is issue with these reference numbers - we
need to print either of these numbers on customer invoices and quotes.
R,
Paul
