Creating orders with non parts
Hi All,
Has anyone an idea if the following already exists, I searched the forum but no luck:
I can add orders via Admin already with a mod.
Now I want to add orders with No parts.
For example I want to invoice a customer for some work hours. But that article isn't in my webshop and I never going to sell it again, so I need it only onces. Like the database is build at the moment it should be perfectly be possible.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks

Actually, that is an article you will likely sell many times. Granted, you may never sell that particular amount to that customer again, but if you define the "product" as one hour at $xx.00, you can bill for the appropriate quantity of hours. Alternatively, if the time is not strictly on a standard per-hour basis, just make it $1.00 worth of billable time and bill for the appropriate quantity of dollars. You can set in admin to allow fractional quantities, and two decimal places.

Ok I agree. But workhours is just a example. I have a couple of articles that I only send onces and then never again.
I don't want that my article list is getting TO big. Also those articles can't me vissible online. That is why non parts or non artciles could be very handy...

On my jewelry site I have a product called Custom Project, with a value of $1.00. It has a text input attribute where the customer can add notes about the specific project. You could use something like this, and fill in the text with the item description/name. Put the product in a separate category, and turn the category off, then go into the product page and turn the product back on. I don't have the mod to test with, but you should be able to add it while the category does not show up in the shop.

I just tested this on a site. I disabled a category, then turned one of its products back on. The category didn't show in the categories menu, but a direct link to the category displayed only the one activated product.

Seems a great idea. :)
Maybe I create my own mod to enter a variable product, but I think this one will evne work better.
