OSGI plugin using PostGIS for iDempiere

What does it do

For each sales region, you can create a record in a new IP_Geometry table. Each record describes a sales region as a polygon. A polygon is an area on a map that is defined by a set of coordinates (longitude and latitude). Using the import and export tools, you can update the polygon. With the help of various services, for example https://geojson.io/ or https://yandex.ru/map-constructor/, you can create or edit a polygon or multipolygon.

With this plugin you can solve the problem “Does the buyer's address get into the delivery area?” (see MGeometry.isContains(lat, long)).

Instructions for use

• Open any Geo JSON editor like https://geojson.io/ or https://yandex.ru/map-constructor/ and click New.
• Using the Polygon tool draw the desired area.
• Click Save and select GeoJSON, save the file.
• Open the Sales Region window and select the desired region.
• On the tab, select the Import Geo JSON process, specify the file, and click OK.
• Refresh the window and now a polygon has been created for this region.
• To edit the polygon, select the Export Geo JSON process and indicate on what date you want to receive the data.
• The MGeometry class has a method IsContains(lat, long) which will return True if the coordinate is in the polygon.

Additionally

If the sales region is IsSummary, then a child sales region will be created when the polygon is imported. If you want to have a multipolygon, then create a sales region as IsSummary and use the Import \ Export processes on it. If you want to get a specific version of a polygon, then open an entry in the Geometry tab and select the Export Geo JSON process.
