Plugin: Alt OrderLine

• Creator: Red1 (talk) - RED1.org
• Current Version: 2.1
• License: GPLv2 - Free as in Freedom not Free Lunch
• Source: BitBucket
• Plugin: alt.orderlineplugin & 2Pack
• Forum: red1.org
• Sponsor: AulerSipel.

Continuation

• This project is a separate plugin and continuation of Plugin:_Alternative_Output.
• Use that plugin if you just want a simple display and control of alternative output.
• This plugin here has additional CONSOLIDATE and CONSOLIDATE_SAME_LINE output
• Again, what is vital is that this is a pure separate non impact to core plugin with no meta-model or design entanglement. Everything follows the Java and OSGi concept of Object-Oriented componentisation with loose coupling.

Tab Model

• The extra tab model is same as C_OrderLine with each line for each display output row.
• Same as previous plugin, it has simplified fields.
• C_ALTOrderLine parent key is C_Order_ID, it can have many to one C_Order parent.

Hash Formatting

• Similar to previous plugin, it uses hash # character in BOM parent description box
• HEADER#CONSOLIDATE will take any similar product lines into one with its qty value summed up
• HEADER#CONSOLIDATE_SAME_LINE will group only those that have same qtys.
  • For example:
  • Cable A1 - Qty=100 meters
  • Cable A1 - Qty=100 meters
• Will result in:
  • 2 X Cable A1 - Qty=100 meters

Screenshots of Examples

• See screen above of normal OrderLine tab showing source that has two lines of similar products and similar qtys (2 sets of screws at qty=8)
• They will be used to quickly test the plugin as shown on screens below.
• First the setting is to #CONSOLIDATE#, then Prepare the Sales Order.
• Note the output has both lines merged with the qty = 16
• Next we change to #CONSOLIDATE_SAME_LINE, and Prepare the same Sales Order again.
• Note that now the alternative orderline has maintained the qty = 8 but description is '2 X <product>'

Easy Source

• I have made the source code as pushed to bitbucket well described so that any coder can change it easily.
• Note that the ALT tab did not apply discount for LineNetAmt, but that is easy to solve in code - just copy the original C_OrderLine column values. What is important is the ability to group arbitrarily any set of products quickly and to change description for PrintFormat to be more readable.

TODO

• Next will be to prepare a PrintFormat option for Sales Order Window
