Special Case Inventory
Posted: Sat Aug 13, 2016 1:03 am
I have a Client who is in the lumber business. They are unique. Customers who come to their AbleCommerce website order 'product types'. For example, a Customer may want 1000 linear feet of 10 foot long boards made of oak. To fill this order, my Client must look at their inventory to find packs of boards (my client bundles up the lumber) that come close enough to filling the order.
The bundles/packs that are used to fill the order are the true inventory. What the customer is actually ordering is a type of wood. So, what is needed for this project is a way to track the true inventory and assign the bundles to an order after the order has been made.
My question is: has AbleCommerce been used to do something like this before? If so, is there any documentation on it?
Or, alternatively, I'd like some assistance on designing / implementing a solution. Can somebody help?
