How can we track the salesperson of a sale? #111

Closed lecoqlibre closed 3 months ago

lecoqlibre commented 7 months ago

Sometimes, we want to know who sold certain products.

For example, on a farm, several people can sell the farm's products. It's the same thing for a producers' store.

I don't think we handle this at the moment.

Proposal: add a salesman attribute to the Order concept. The attribute would point to a Person.

I don't think the ontology covers this currently, but let's check with @Alcoz

I'd prefer to use a gender-neutral term (seller, or salesperson). The relationship could be SoldBy (not sure what the inverse relationship would be :thinking: ).

I'm also wondering about B-2-B sales - could the seller be an Organisation ? Perhaps it should point to Actor, rather than Person ?

Also worth noting it would be empty in most cases (e.g. web-sales)... do we have a specific use-case/platform requesting this?

+1 for "salesperson".

OK for "soldBy". The inverse could be "sells"?

We should think about it. There is the Coodination object between an Enterprise and a SaleSession. But it's not really the same as different salespersons could have sold different orders during the same sale session. I guess it's OK for an enterprise to sell products of other enterprises? So the link could be between Order and Agent.

Yes I need it for the sale application I'm developing. I would like to track who has sold what.

Agreed it will be a relationship between Order & Agent : sells and soldBy
