2 places where parameter-map="[facilityTypeEnumId:'FcTpLine,FcTpPlant…

…,FcTpWarehouse']" is needed

There may be more but this is my first pull request and I want to see if I am doing it correctly.

So I'm pushing the button.

Is there any place that it is proper to do a dynamic getFacilityList without including the facilityTypeEnumId? I have 1M+ facilities for a real estate app, so in places where a facility dropdown exists, I do not get meaningful options (options pertaining to inventory)

Hey Al,
Asset and Invoice Item seem like places where you would NOT want to filter on type. I see a few other places where an unfiltered list might cause you trouble, e.g FindShipment screen.

Its also my understanding that you should only be filtering on type FcTpWarehouse. The types FcTpLine and FcTpPlant are for manufacturing.

1M+ facilities is quite impressive. I can see the UI struggling with that number.

Daniel, Thanks for commenting. I'm still trying to understand all this.

I used those three types because I saw them used other places.

Don't understand why it shouldn't filter on Assets or InvoiceItem - wouldn't they always be one of those three?

Lastly, what should I do here? Should I look for all the places where i think there should be filtering and commit them to the branch and then announce that I think I have them all?

I've never done a pull request and am still confused.

The better approach for this would be to use an enum group. These are used in various places to limit enumeration options in a configurable way.

For inventory and other types of assets in theory any type of Facility might be used, though the ones you listed plus Retail Store and Dock are maybe the most common and could be used as the default members of the enum group.

For Product the facilityId has nothing to do with where it's stored, Product is a model of a good or service, not an instance of it like Asset is. On Product the facilityId describes the Product itself, like a Product for rental of a Facility.

For an EnumGroup example see:

https://github.com/moqui/mantle-udm/blob/master/data/ItemTypeData.xml#L228

To query it do something like this:

<entity-find entity-name="moqui.basic.EnumAndGroup" list="itemTypeEnumList">
    <econdition field-name="enumGroupEnumId" value="EngItemsSales"/>
    <order-by field-name="description"/>
</entity-find>

I'm going to go thru and make switches to using EnumGroupMember per David's suggestion. Then I will commit them to this pull request branch and wait for a moderator to merge the branch back into the master. Please let me know if that is not the way that the pull request process works.
