Users can create multiple Enterprises of different types. These Enterprises have different abilities that affect how Order Cycles work.
There is a simplified OC Interface for a single Producer Shop, which automatically sets the Producer, Coordinator and Outgoing Distributors (Shop) to the Producer.
The more complex OC interface becomes available if the User selects a Hub as the coordinator of the order cycle.
When a User creates an Order Cycle:
-
If User has > 1 Enterprise (with type enabling OCs e.g. own or any), then
-
‘New Order Cycle’ first asks User to select the Coordinator of this OC
-
options are all Enterprises that the User owns or manages, that have type own or any
-
loads appropriate OC interface for that Enterprise (e.g. simple for Producer Shop and full for Hub)
-
When Coordinator is ‘own’, send to simple interface
-
The full OC interface is populated with appropriate data / options according to management and permissions
