talking_about_simple_sizes_and_colors_database.jpg   Image/JPEG 6/19/2017 Screen shot of going over with Alan the relationships between part categories, parts, and sub inventory. We also talked about sub attributes and how the custom data (text, numeric, and date) values were stored. We then talked about possible new relationships between sub sizes and sub colors and how that would tie into the mix. The orange is mostly done and ready... the blue is some new ideas and relationships. Lots of one-to-many lines and diagrams. The sub sizes and sub colors could be a sub of the part categories. They could then be used on the subs as needed.


Notes:
Entering some bills and prepping for a meeting with Alan.

Alan joined me in a GoToMeeting session at 3:30 pm. We went until about 4:45 pm. We covered a number of small projects and where things are at. We spent some time looking into the budgets on the Campaign Rise project. We did some light calculations and made some projections.

After that, we spent quite a bit of time talking about sub inventory out in ecommerce land. We talked logic, flow, round two vs. round three changes (still being planned), and how sub attributes play into things. We talked about sub colors, sub sizes, and sub barcodes (new proposed fields for subs) and how they play into sub inventory. We drew out some small database models and such to show the relationships between part categories, parent items, sub inventory, sub attributes, custom dates, customer numerics, and custom text values. See attached for a quick drawing.

We then talked quite a bit about how the existing sub inventory values play and what is coming through mini conversions as well as some of the changes out in ecommerce land. We talked about the options of showing parent items, showing parent items with sub attributes but still making them buy the parent but recording the sub details. We also talked about selling real subs and having things track all the way through. As a side note, we talked about the middle one (smoke and mirrors showing parents and subs but still selling parents until it was restored to cart internally). We talked about an optional extra line item storage database for collecting the desired sub attributes and their values without actually committing to a specific sub. Think of a short order cook and a person making an order based off of a menu or whatever the waitress writes down.

At the end of the session, we went over some wire job options and possibly using some of the code that I did for the adilas community funded projects. That deals with elements of time, light budgeting, invoices, line items, payments, and flex grid tie-ins. Alan needs similar logic for part of the Campaign Rise project and people signing up for paid events based off of the campaigns. Good session.
