Combine Orders?

[eManager]

I am trying to find a module that allows us to combine orders by status. For example if we had a status of "Processing A" we need to be able to combine all these orders into a new order based on the order status.

[eManager]

Here are a few more specifics on what we need:

 

We need a module that allows for orders to be managed as follows:

1. Customers place orders

2. Admin changes order status on selected orders to "Order Status X"

3. Admin uses module/order processing tool to combine orders with a given status into one new order

4. Original orders remain unchanged

This is batch a batch processing function that allows us to process small orders as one order.

Some programmer have emailed about being confused on who the customer who be. We do this batch processing to combine small orders and send them to regional shipping location. The customer is the shipping location, but don't focus on this. The attached image shows how we do it in our current system.

One selection for orders status to select the orders to combine. The drop-down show which customer/ship to. The second attachment shows the result of the new combined order.

You want to create the joined order in your store also?

I'm confused.

I am not sure what you are saying?? Of course it would be in our store, where else would it be?

Can you clarify what you mean? Does this mean your module will handle this? We just need to have all items from different order added into a new order.

Why not use an order export module to export all orders matching the status you want?

We need all product data imported into a new order so that we can send the order to our warehouse so the pull and process the new order with all items from the combined order. This is a need that is very specific to our business.

 

1. Combine all items on order into a new order based on status

2. Submit new order using an API we built with all products to warehouse.

3. The items arrive at one of our small regional shippers.

4. They pack the individual orders and mark them shipped

You could have wanted a dropshipping module. Or something similar.

I once did a script to connect to our invoice software, and i needed to join some orders into one invoice.

What i was more confused about, was that when you place a 2nd order, with all the items, it will change the stock again. So for each 1 unit sold, it will count for your prestashop installation as 2, after you joined the orders.

You should code your "send to the api" to be able to deal with several orders, not only one.

It should be easier, and more correct.

Hi eManager,

 

No we don't have module doing this yet.

 

But this functionnality may create some stock problems... because if we create a new order your stock would be decrease twice (first with the customer orders and after with the new order).

We have developped a module that allow mass stock transfert between 2 warehouse (nearly available on addon market), using the Prestashop advance stock management function. We can imagine to create a new option to this functionnality to create a stock transfert based on your customer orders, between your principal warehouse and your regional one.
