How long to complete plugin?

Posted on by antc 2,909

Hi all,

On the Quote entity the Product Number is not a field in Quote Line (quotedetail). There is also no relationship from Quote to Product to select Product Number for a Document template as it's related to the child quotedetail.

To have the Product Number we need to create a field in quotedetail.

We then need to create plugin to run on create and update of quotedetail and check if isproductoverridden is false and if it is retrieve Product Number from Product entity and assign it to the new field.

What would you consider a reasonable amount of time investigate, test in dev and then implement in Production this type of problem?

    Hi,

    If it took you few hours then I will consider it a great job. "can't use OOB workflows on quotedetail" & "Can't modify the OOB sub grid for quotedetail." are thing which you will come to know when you actualy work on these things. These are the things classified as experience.

    If it would have been a some junior developer, he/she may have taken a day to complete this. So, give yourself a credit to achieve this in few hours :)

    It's hard to gauge what standard you are at when you don't work with others.

    It took me a few hours to:

    Work out you can't use OOB workflows on quotedetail.

    Can't modify the OOB sub grid for quotedetail.

    Create field and add to form.

    Write the plugin and test.

    Create and test template.

    Move to production.

    Hi,

    If you are asking the effort it will require to build the plugin for this requirement and testing then as mentioned above, it depends upon skills and resources. It also depends on how much helper methods, classes you already have in your project, if you would need separate exception handling or is it already handled.

    There isn't much logic to write to achieve this requirement so you would be able to write it in no time. You can share your code here if you need any assistance.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi antc,

    There is not enough information to answer this question as it depends heavily on the developers experience and skills. I could develop this very quickly, but that is me.
