Summary: Create a beginner's guide to setting up configurable goods on Apache OFBiz using LLMs
Key: OFBIZ-13668
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-13668
Project: OFBiz
Issue Type: Task
Components: Documentation
Reporter: Swapnil Shah
Assignee: Swapnil Shah
Add a tutorial guide under the OFBiz space that walks a first-time user through setting
up a configurable goods business end-to-end, generating the entity XML from a
plain-language description of the business.
It should cover both cases:
* Fixed variants selected from predefined options, such as frame colour and frame width
* Build-your-own configurable products, where the customer selects an option per
component and the price is assembled from the selected parts.
The XML file should address all relevant entities such as:
ProdCatalog, ProductCategory,
Product (virtual and variant), ProductFeature and its associations, ProductConfig,
ProductConfigItem, ProductConfigOption, ProductConfigProduct, ProductStore,
Facility, InventoryItem, WorkEffort and WorkEffortAssoc, among others.
_For a newcomer, this is a significant barrier when done manually._ The relationships between virtual products, variants, features and configuration items are not obvious from the
entity definitions alone, and a single incorrect value causes entityImport to roll
back the entire file.
