How to Configure a Product with Configurable Attributes
Hi All,
I have the following requirement - When a user selects a
product from a shopping cart, user should get prompted to enter some
parameters before getting the final list of products. For example -
If you are purchasing steel, you might select a product by name 'Hot Rolled
Steel' but then you would also like to enter width, gauge, thickness etc for
'Steel' since these attributes would determine the price of the product.
I am in the process of finding out how this can be done, but if someone has
already done this or your thoughts on how can this be done (iam 3 days old
to ofbiz) or you could point me to the rite doc maybe.
Would appreciate a reply.
Regards,
Rohit

To configure it go on the main page of the product and mention that the
product Hot Rolled Steel
And then create also immaterial product or services width, gauge, thickness
with their prices.
You have a button Configuration when you log you on Product catalog module
of ERP.
Create a configuration wich will contain all your services as option.

hi Sumit,
Thakx for the tip. In order to calculate the price of the
configurable item, do we have to write the code or is there something
avaliable OOTB which can be used. What do you feel is the best way to go
about it.
in the attached image , ideally whaen the user clikcs on some button the
cost of the product should be calculated and appear at the Amount text box (
marked in red )

Hi, The best way to trace the process is to watch the consol log properly
and you may go through the control flow, and put debug statements in
different methods to debug the code. Now moving to your problem, I tried to
trace the flow for Purchase Order and was able to trace where exactly the
call is made for creating Invoice while receiving the purchase order.
On following the consol log carefully I found that after processing
receiveInventory and createShipmentReceipt, on updateShipment service
createInvoiceFromShipment is triggered as an ECA. And after that
capturePaymentFromInvoice service is triggered as an ECA on
createInvoiceForOrder. The service createInvoiceForOrder is called inline
from createInvoicesFromShipments service which again is called inline from
creatInvoicesFromShipment service.
I'll like to suggest you to debug the process to understand it better,
because this is a very complicated process and I think just reading out the
code may not be of much help.

Alas, I am stuck with a version from the first of the year (591699). We are
nearly in production now and I cannot get an update until probably September
or later when I'll have time to recertify it.
On the other hand, I found what I needed to know by searching in the log

Hi Bilgin,
I'd suggest to have a look at the findPrinters.bsh script, in the

printers (it just uses the javax.print.* api).

Re: Full of Questions

You can also define the printer (as a lan/remote printer) in the
server in which OFBiz runs and then submit the print request to that
printer (we have a service intended to do this).
If I am not wrong, there is an example of this pattern in the find
orders screen (with a drop down that shows you the available printers,
maybe commented out... but from there you should find the code).

Posted by "skip@thedevers" <sk...@thedevers.org>.
I have a request to print checks on a printer attached to a local Windows
workstation. I can install a flavor of Linux if I need to.
The customer wants to print check runs on a high speed printer attached to
this workstation, typically 200 to 500 each run.
Has anyone done this already?
What occured to me was a javascript routine that talked to the server using
ajax, but I am aware of no javascript objects that deal with the printer
(but then again, I am javascript challenged).
I will almost certainly have a similiar request printing bar code labels by
the thousands on a barcode printer.
The only choice I can see is a java application talking SOAP to the server.
However, I am hoping for another solution so things will have a more
integrated feel.

You can also associate the SupplierProduct records to the Agreement

define more than one agreement with your supplier; there are also

You can also associate the SupplierProduct records to the Agreement
entities (see the fields in the SupplierProduct entity; you may also
define more than one agreement with your supplier; there are also
screens to manage this information)
This may help,

Yep, saw that, but how about when you get a special promotional price or you
get a discount from list price for a quantity or you have an agreement for a
price when the order exceeds a dollar value.
I have written a service that gets the lowest price so I can have promo
prices.
I am writing an Economic Ordering Quantity (E.O.Q. in retail parlance)
routine that needs to know all the possible available costs for the
computation to be successful in ording the quantity that results in the
highest profitability for the item.
SupplierProduct suffices for 95% of my needs, but I have a few costs that
are agreement based (I can manually convert the "discount from list" ones by
supplying the quantity 1 price and let the operator do the math).
I was hoping for something as comprehensive as the price calculation
routines that exist for the shopping cart and the sales price.
With some luck, lots of folks will be using Ofbiz and that will include some
of our suppliers who will offer us the price flexibility found in the sale
prices for Ofbiz which of course become our costs.
Thanks for the insite though, it is always appreciated.

Multiple Supplier Prices
Posted by "skip@thedevers" <sk...@thedevers.org>.
Has anyone given any thought to or better yet, has any work been done on the
issue of multiple supplier prices. For example, you might get price 1 for
quantity 1, a lower price for 10x, and a still lower price for 100x.
I have come up with my own scheme (SupplierProductCost) based on the
ProductPrice table (but related to SupplierProduct instead of Product). I
am about to embark on wholesale changes to the Requirements code to
implement this. However, I thought I'd ask to see if others have done or
thought about it.
If there has been, I'll move this over to the dev mailing list.

In addition to Nikita's comment you can try to add the Configurable PC

Hi,
Have done something similar to this ...
Providing some pointers :
1> Add the attributes width, gauge, thickness etc as ProductFeature &
associate these features with products in ProductFeatureAppl.
2> Write your custom code to calculate the adjustments depending on the
input.
3> Then you can add the calculated adjustment to the product price.
I have'nt tried this with price rules but you can try that too.

Subject: How to Configure a Product with Configurable Attributes
Hi All,
I have the following requirement - When a user selects a
product from a shopping cart, user should get prompted to enter some
parameters before getting the final list of products. For example -
If you are purchasing steel, you might select a product by name 'Hot Rolled
Steel' but then you would also like to enter width, gauge, thickness etc for
'Steel' since these attributes would determine the price of the product.
I am in the process of finding out how this can be done, but if someone has
already done this or your thoughts on how can this be done (iam 3 days old
to ofbiz) or you could point me to the rite doc maybe.
Would appreciate a reply.
Regards,
Rohit
