Only need a 2nd virtual_stock location; ideas?

seansan commented 8 years ago

Hi, I just came across your extensions. We have a simpel request:

create 2n stock location (call it remote_stock or virtual_stock)
remote_stock is updated through feeds (not a problem; just saying ;)
when order is placed: pick from local_stock first then fall back on remote_stock
we sell both simple and configurable products (shirts in sizes)
order should 'know' which product comes from where
order should know that 'at least 1 product' is from remote (set flag) - so we can pickup on frontend, transactional emails, or in cart
credit memos/ returns are returned to local_stock

I know this is a fairly open question. But it has been bugging me for a while: what basis or solution shall I use to add this functionality? So it is not necassarily so that we need multi inventory: just 1 virtual location)

Tips, advice or experience ;0 very welcome

Hello @seansan as far as I understand, your virtual location is a second stock repository, thus the Webgriffe_Multiwarehouse extension could be a good starting point.

It was developed only for training purpose but if it doesn't fit your needs feel free to extend it; unfortunately I am not able to provide any further support.

Cheers

thx. will take a look. Paid support is also possible ;) Need a quick solution now --- implement ERP in parallel. If you are someone who knows the code well would be able to help then let me know.
