Drop Shipping Purchase Orders Module for v1.3.8

[JimmyV]

Any reason why this plug would slow the checkout process down?

I am now having serious hesitation during checkout steps 1 and again after 3 "confirm order" and am at a loss as to what is involved in this plug that has anything to do with this flow. Could be my host but they seem to be OK

Any advise would be great.

OK, I have everything working properly but need to make 1 change. I modified the send_pos to send my order thru cURL to the drop shipper. We only use 1 drop shipper for everthing and the way I have it set up the order goes out once with all the items. I do not need a seperate PO for each item. Is there a way to make it so if I check send PO on any item within an order it will mark all items in that order as sent? Or not generate multiple PO's for each item on an order?

It has to be sent out as I did it on 1 PO becase the drop shippers sytem will generate multiple orders (and multiple shipping) if sent on a per item basis.

Again, it is functioning perfect, except I will always have unsent PO's on any multiple item order unless I can figure out how to group them or at least make all sent.

Thanks
Steve

I find the finding of PO very cumbersome currently if I look it is a list of about a hundred pages the highest (and therefore hardest to get to) are the current ones. Can the sort be reversed or otherwise is there a better way to search?

I also tried the advanced search and that does not seem to work for the given order number. So, if I search order 895 it gives me nothing.

This speed seems to be working better now. Probably hosting.

fotofx - The mod already does this for you. Just check all the items for each order and send it at the same time. Each item from the same order will be grouped together into one email. You can even send all your orders at once -- Just be sure to wait while it sends several emails!

Example:

Order 1
1 Widget
2 Cats

Order 2
1 Cat
1 Dog

Check all products to send to your one contractor. It will send the following PO emails:

Email 1 for Order 1
including 1 Widget and 2 Cats

Email 2 for Order 2
including 1 Cat and 1 Dog

JimmyV - This mod wouldn't affect the speed of your site. I also don't quite understand how you are searching for orders. There is no option to do so in the Enter Tracking page. The only place you can search for an order is on the resend PO page. I'll see if there is an easy way to reverse the order on the tracking page, and if there is, I will include it when I release the next version.

brenballa - Are you sure you copied the files to right directories? pdfpack.php should be in your admin directory. All the files that come with fpdf should be in your admin/fpdf directory, except for the fpdf fonts, they should be in admin/fpdf/font.

Hi Gang,

I have the mod working excellent. Is there an easy way to tweak the code so that we can assign a separate shipping method to every Sub Contractor (and obviously to reflect that in a mixed cart)?


thanks

Thanks, Your right.. even though it shows multiple PO's it is only sending one to the vender. Appreciate all the help. If anyone is integrating a cart to work with adult-wholesale.com drop me a line and I will be happy to give you my modified send_pos.php to get it working.
