Customer ID per each supplier
Hello,
we use OFBiz in B2B with lots of drop shipment orders, i.e. we have
customers and many suppliers.
Each our supplier has own customer id and it is very necessary for us to
include this id in the order for each supplier.
Example,
the customer party in our OFBiz system has party id : 10001 (but it is
useful only for us)
supplier A: 12345
supplier B: C345
supplier C: 1100
............
supplier X: 0055
how it is possible to store this info in OFBiz?
We considered party identification numbers, yes, it is possible to create
identification type for each supplier, but it is not flexible solution,
because we do not have the link to supplier party here.
We considered Party relationships,
in fact, it is possible to add relationships between customer and supplier
and use "Comments" field to store the id, but it looks more like a hack.
What could you suggest us? Maybe we missed something in the OFBiz data
model.
Thanks a lot.
-----
Kind regards,
Sergei

Of course, PartyRelationship relates parties between each other, but how to
link party and external ids from PartyIdentification, it is not possible
now.
Each customer can have many external ids for each supplier...

No. Connect the parties properly using PartyRelationship and
OFBiz-generated party IDs. Use the PartyIdentification entity for
external IDs.

Should we use "Comments" field to store the id?
