Drop Shipping Purchase Orders Module for v1.3.8

[AddVant]

AddVant - Sorry. Unfortunately, these are meant to act the way they do. I never implemented HTML emails with this mod because I don't use them.

srturner47, Many thanks again for great work.
About HTML issue, is there a way to have customer email send as HTML and only the purchase order to send as TXT? Are you going to add unit cost for PO?

As for the second number, this seems like the behavior you would want. At least it does for me. Here is an example:

Order#502 is sent to ABC Distributing as PO 502-111. They email back and say "We are out of stock!" So--you resend this to another dropshipper, XYZ Distributing, who can fulfill the order . It gets sent as PO 502-112. You already know 502-111 won't be filled because they are out of stock, and in these situations you are probably communicating with your drop shipper about this. So, 502-112 should be the only one that ships.

Make sense?

Another reason you wouldn't want this is that you may need to split a PO up when resending, in which case you would end up with two PO with the same number.

As you described it - that fully make sense!.
There are few other options that you may want to update the order without updating the PO #:
The supplier said they didn't get the PO, you resend it and now if the do get the first one they have 2 PO with deferent number and may duplicate since on their systems it show as deferent po.
The supplier get the PO and process it in their system with your PO # and they request you to change some remarks or else that do not effect the actual order.

If you can add check-box that if you do it is not update the PO number that will do.
Another suggestion, when you go to re-send page no orders show up until you press the search button. Is there option to show the active PO's?

Thanks again - AddVant

Another sugestion:
For International shipping we need to send Invoice as well, is there option to add send Invoice as well?
What about sending the Packing Slip and/or Invoice to customer in PDF Format?
Can we send a copy of the PO to our email for backup? As well if can be done with the customer Invoice - it can be great!
Thanks - AddVant

It look like the HTML issue come from the default HTML file (/email/email_template_default.html) that expect the send_pos to send:

$EMAIL_MESSAGE_HTML

For example on the mail.php that uses same template file there is the following:

$message = zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['message']);
$html_msg['EMAIL_MESSAGE_HTML'] = zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['message_html']);

Hope this helps - Not familiar enough to know how to integrate it with the module.

Thanks - AddVant

AddVant - I see your point, but I am not sure I want to add the ability to keep the same PO # when resending. It could cause serious problems if you split the order up. But, there is an easy work around -- Just check the box to review the email before sending it and manually change the PO number. Your supplier won't get confused - You'll just need to remember, but that shouldn't be too hard.

As for invoicing, that would take a lot of work, as the pdf part would have to be rewritten. You are welcome to take a stab at it, but I'm not interested in implementing this feature at this time. One thing I have considered is creating a mod that would allow customers to print a PDF receipt. I think this would be a great alternative for customer who need to print a receipt....maybe someday.

As for sending a copy to yourself, that is easy to do. Just repeat the zen_mail function, but use your email address. There are several places you would need to do this, here is an example: For regular, non-review POs, see line 499 of send_pos:

</form><?php } else { if ($_POST[includepackinglistoption] == 'yes')
zen_mail($adresdo,$adresdo,$tematk,$newzawartosc,PO_FROM_EMAIL_NAME,PO_FROM_EMAIL_ADDRESS,NULL,NULL,PO_PACKINGLIST_FILENAME);
else
zen_mail($adresdo,$adresdo,$tematk,$newzawartosc,PO_FROM_EMAIL_NAME,PO_FROM_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

Change to:

</form><?php } else { if ($_POST[includepackinglistoption] == 'yes')
zen_mail($adresdo,$adresdo,$tematk,$newzawartosc,PO_FROM_EMAIL_NAME,PO_FROM_EMAIL_ADDRESS,NULL,NULL,PO_PACKINGLIST_FILENAME);
zen_mail("[email protected]","[email protected]",$tematk,$newzawartosc,PO_FROM_EMAIL_NAME,PO_FROM_EMAIL_ADDRESS,NULL,NULL,PO_PACKINGLIST_FILENAME);
else
zen_mail($adresdo,$adresdo,$tematk,$newzawartosc,PO_FROM_EMAIL_NAME,PO_FROM_EMAIL_ADDRESS);
zen_mail("[email protected]","[email protected]",$tematk,$newzawartosc,PO_FROM_EMAIL_NAME,PO_FROM_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

For reviewed emails, do the same around line 100 of send_pos. For unknown customers, do the same in send_pos_nc...just search for "zen_mail".

I'll take a look and see if there is an easy way to make this work with HTML option on, as this is clearly a feature people want. If it is easy, I'll let you know how to do it and add this to the next bug fix release.

For the Invoice we can use the "PDF Order Center" contribution.

srturner47,

thanks for the clarifications. I see now whats the problem.

[srturner47]

Could someone please clarify the HTML problem for me? I'm trying to troubleshoot it, but I must have misunderstood, because I can't reproduce the problem. I tried changing the following, and it still works fine:

Admin-Configuration-Email Options-Send MIME HTML when sending Emails-True

Still works fine for me...

Admin-Configuration-Email Options-Email Admin Format-HTML

Still works fine for me...

What specifically are you setting to HTML that breaks this?

PLEASE NOTE! I have never tested version 2.0 or 3.0 of this modification without Ty_Package_Tracker!! Install at your own risk if you don't use Ty_Package_Tracker!!

Hi, this sounds like a brilliant mod.
I have 2 questions I need to ask:

Did anyone install this without this tracker module? What is the result? Please tell me your versions also.

Is there a live demosite whit this module installed, so that I can see it live before installing it on my zen.

Thanks ppl..
