Limit quantity for product for products in backorders

[erwyn86]

Hi everybody,

I have a requirement from a client for the following:

My client sells items from stock and from backorder (from his suppliers) also. The difference is that he has different delivery dates for those in stock then those from backorder. No problem so far, this can be done in Prestashop. What we need to do is to limit the quantity of ordered items from backorder. Here's an example:

Item A - 5 items in stock and the seller has 3 items on backorder from his supplier. The 5 pcs are available in 2 days for delivery, the ones on backorder have 2 weeks for delivery. What we want to do is to allow customers to buy 5+3=8 pcs from the store, but no more. Also would be nice to separate them in the cart.

Best would be if a module if exists. Do you know any? If none, then how could be this done with coding?

PS version is 1.7.5.

 

Thank you in advance!

You have 3 possibilities for to realize this:

1) you downgrade to PS 1.6., which has the advanced stock option including that what you want. You can manage several warehouses and limit the stock of each one.

2) you use an ERP for to maintain your stock availability and sync it with Prestashop via webservice.

3) you will find some interesting modules doing what you want on the official addons site:
