Description

OFBiz should be improved to allow shipment methods to be selected for a purchase order from a supplier. Currently optionsettings.ftl sets the shipping method as a hidden field with value "STANDARD@_NA" for purchase orders. I have the need to keep track of the shipping methods as well as due dates of purchase order items.

The shipment methods will have to somehow be related back to the supplier. Currently the shipment methods are determined by those related to the store but no store is associated with a cart for purchase orders.

Stores could be created for all suppliers specifically for associating carriers and shipment methods and the order creation form could be updated so that the supplier store is selected instead of the supplier party. The ProductStore payToPartyId field could be used to identify the supplier that is supposed to be associated with the store.

Anyone else have some ideas?
