Re: Client Purchase order

Krishna,

1. When you create an order base (the underlying entity behind a Purchase Order) there are two ways in which you relate that to a kind of "customer". The first is the destination location of the order and the second is some kind of involved party (e.g BILL-TO, or one that you can create for your own purposes).

2. The "customer" does indeed use the concept of a domain - although it has more information related to it than a domain does".

3. The "buyer" uses, I think, the location entity - although it has a lot less information than a location related to it.

4. The customer and buyer are used in the freight forwarding module when you create bookings in the freight forwarding module, they are not used elsewhere in the standard OTM application.

If you yourself are starting out in OTM and the client you are working with is asking you to produce some documentation on this, I would strongly suggest that you both consider employing an experienced OTM consultant for a short period of time to help you on the design for what you are trying to achieve.
