> 1. While creating an organization, it is possible to specify a meaningful party id through ofbiz setup.
> 2. But, it is NOT possible to specify the party id through GUI while creating a Party (Person or Party Group). this means, all the parties created get a sequence id for party id.
> Bilgin Ibryam's replay is posted below.
> The PK field in party creation service is validated for special 
> characters and so on.  So the user is actually allowed to try with 
> random text. 
> I think this field is simply missing in the UI.  That's why you are not 
> "allowed" to enter the id. 
> In addition to this, ofbiz display Ids in most of the forms ( and all 
> the lookup fields). So it is very important to allow users to enter 
> meaningful Ids, especially for data that it used for long period like 
> partyId, facailityId, fixedAssetId, agreementId... So create forms 
> should have an optional Id field (partyId, facilityId...) with a label 
> saying that if an Id is not specified, the system will generate one.
