[jira] [Commented] (OFBIZ-5704) Extend lot entity to include party Id of manufacturer

["Pierre Smits (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5704?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14117076#comment-14117076 ] 

Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-5704:
-------------------------------------

Jacques,

The proposal of Adrian needlessly complicates retrieval and data maintenance processes. That way having the Manufacturer of a Lot record referenced and maintained in a new entity is like having the badge (of the brand) of a car not put on the car itself, but rather in a trailer.

Regards,

Pierre

> Rationale
> Lot or batch management affects two places, namely the outbound process (and its functionalities) and inbound. 
> It is possible that multiple parties have the same ID for the batch or the lot. Howver, in current feature set there is no discrimination between lots from supplier A, supplier B, or even the primary (internal) company in OFBiz.
> Therefore the entity 'Lot' should be extended with another key, namely that of the partyId of the manufacturer (or supplier).
