Adding to orders in the back office - ability to sort by supplier/producer #66

Open tschumilas opened 3 years ago

What is the need / problem?

In a hub with a lot of suppliers and a lot of products, it is very time consuming to find the right product from the right producer in order to add it to an order in the back office. Being able to filter by items onhand/in inventory - suggested in papercut candidate/wishlist issue #37 woudl be great.

But often the hub has multiple producers selling the same product - so being able to find the correct producer's product is challenging.

Which type of users does this problem affect (and how many, if known)?

All users - but especially hub managers who have multiple suppliers

Is Papercut or feature candidate?

Add papercut or feature label to answer the question. If you are not sure, don't worry product team will cover :-)

I d say no Papercut as filtering for suppliers is no simple binary filter and requires more than a checkbox as for show/hide variants without stock

Confirmed in Papercut meeting: more than a papercut. On tech side both frontend changes and filter in the backend require more than 0.5 days of tech time in total.

If done within scope of feature might use some inception to allow for other filter options as well (e.g. categories)
