Catalog Request

[Rodrigo Aguinaga <ro...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

  I've been wondering about what the catalog request type does, since I
don't quite understand it.

  What I would understand from it, would be a request to my suppliers to
renew their price list on a group of products. But doesn't seem to work that
way on OFBiz, so I wanted to know the function that it was created for and
if there's a way to create a 'request for a supplier product list' or if
there's any plan to do this, if there isn't I would like to open a JIRA
about it.

Well the goal would be for the company itself (one of the internal
organizations of the software owner) to ask to a supplier for their updated
price list (you could specify a groups of products for this).

So, what I have in mind it's to use the request entity on order managment to
create a request for the supplier to mail their product price list of a
group of items(request for supplier catalog), and update it on the system.

PS.   I see the "request for catalog" on ordermgr/control/FindRequest, Cust
Request Type Id field. I actually don't know what to use this type for
PS2. I don't want to create a "customer requesting a supplier's product
list", I don't belive this is a good idea at all...

Rodrigo,

Where are you seeing the "catalog request type"?

So, is your goal to support a customer requesting a supplier's  
product list, or for an employee or other person using the system to  
get a list of products for a supplier?
