OLD Super Orders 2.0 (See v3.0 thread instead)

[DivaVocals]

Wanted to post in this thread the answer to the frequently asked "What does Super Orders do?" question..
(which BTW REALLY IS explained in detail in the readme for those who REALLY wanna know..)

PURPOSE & AIM

Super Orders is exactly what its name implies: Zen Cart order management on steroids.
It's more in all the areas Zen users are asking for more:

• More order control
  
  • "Batch Form Printing" and "Batch Status Updating" inclduing support for PDF invoices.
  • "Batch Form Printing" and "Batch Status Updating" both offer expanded order search options.
  • Editing of hidden "admin only" comments
  • Split orders allows you to split individual lines on an order. So for example if a customer orders 5 widgets and you've only got 3 in stock, you can move 2 to another order creating a new (child) order which is split from the parent (original)
  
  
• More thorough data
  
  • Order payment tracking -- allows shopowners to enter and track order payment details (check, money orders, etc.) Payments made via Authorize.net, Linkpoint and PayPal are entered for you automatically. Send customer payment notification/verifications
  • Order refund tracking -- allows shopowners to enter and track order refund details. Send customer refund notification/verifications
  
  
• More detailed reports
• EASY integration* with Edit Orders, USPS Click-N-Ship, Fedex Automated Labels, and Ty Package Tracker
• More navigation options
  
  • More shortcut icons on the orders listing screen. Now there is a corresponding shortcut icon on each order line that matches the buttons that appear in the sidebox
  
  

*Edit Orders, USPS Click-N-Ship, Fedex Automated Labels, and Ty Package Tracker MUST be installed to use these built-in integration features

That said I STRONGLY suggest that anyone THINKING about this mod download it and READ the readme.. The readme goes into a LOT more detail about what Super Orders can do.. It should answer any questions about what this mod provides..
