[OFBiz] Users - Product Type definition

[Si Chen]

Drop shipping is *almost* implemented. You can create products which 
automatically trigger requirements whenever they are ordered and then 
manually create purchase orders from those requirements. Drop shipping 
basically involves automating this last step. If you want to try to 
implement it for OFBiz I can help you through it.
