Sent Invoice to Vendors

imagesport · Post by **imagesport** » Thu Oct 16, 2008 9:05 am

In your Demo Version I set up 2 vendors and assigned an email to each one. I then created a product for each vendor and assigned the vendor to the product. I placed a product in the cart from each vendor. I was hoping each vendor would get a reciept with only their products on it. Currently both vendors recieve an email with the order however the whole order appears rather then their certian products. Please advise asap how this works.

When we select a particular email template to be sent on an email event the contents of that email will be sent to all the recipients. There is no way to distinguish who the mail is being sent to so that we could chose to modify its contents depending on the recipient.

One way to handle this would be to change the way mails are currently being generated. We will have to generate a separate email for each vendor.

How do I manually select an emailtemplate and send it to vendors as I could do in Able5.5?

Well guys here is the solution to send vendor specific notification. For this we have to write a piece of code and create a new Email Template that will be sent to the vendors. In order to use this solution each vendor must have Name and Email address provided.

First of all we need to locate the place from where we want our Email to be triggered and I have selected that i have to trigger the Email when admin ships the orders. Edit the
Website\Admin\Orders\Shipments\ShipOrder.aspx page and locate the following lines of code in it

Code: Select all

//SHIP THE CURRENT SHIPMENT
            _OrderShipment.Ship();

and make it look like

Code: Select all

 //SHIP THE CURRENT SHIPMENT
            _OrderShipment.Ship();
            
            //Vendor Notification Code Start

            foreach (OrderItem orderItem in _Order.Items)
            {
                if (orderItem.OrderItemType == OrderItemType.Product)
                {
                    if (orderItem.Product.Vendor != null)
                    {
                        EmailTemplateCollection emailTemplates = EmailTemplateDataSource.LoadForCriteria(" Name = 'VendorNotificationEx' ");
                        if (emailTemplates.Count > 0)
                        {
                            emailTemplates[0].Parameters.Add("store", Token.Instance.Store);
                            emailTemplates[0].Parameters.Add("order", _Order);
                            emailTemplates[0].Parameters.Add("vendorname", orderItem.Product.Vendor.Name);
                            emailTemplates[0].ToAddress = orderItem.Product.Vendor.Email;
                            emailTemplates[0].Send();
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            
            //Vendor Notification Code End

Now to go to Email Templates and create a new Email Template VendorNotificationEx and paste the code below in its contents. Provide some from address and specify vendor keyword in the To Address. Do not attach any trigger with this Email Template and save it
Template Contents

Code: Select all

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
TABLE.Email {
width: 640px;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0px;
border: 1px solid #5872CB;
}
TABLE.Email TH {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 12px;
color: #ffffff;
font-family: Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif;
font-style: strong;
background-color: #304FBA;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 5px;
}
TABLE.Email TD {
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
font-family: Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif;
background-color: #ffffff;
text-align: left;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 3px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table class="Email">
<tr>
<td valign="top"><strong>$store.Name</strong><br>
<div style="padding-left:30px;">
$store.DefaultWarehouse.FormatAddress(true)
<BR>Phone: $store.DefaultWarehouse.Phone
<BR>Email: $store.DefaultWarehouse.Email
</div>
</td>
<td align="right">
<H1>Packing Slip</H1>
<strong>Order Number</strong>: $order.OrderId<br>
<strong>Order Date</strong>: ${order.OrderDate}</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table class="Email">
#foreach( $shipment in $order.Shipments )
<tr>
<td>
<strong>Ship To:</strong>
<div style="padding-left:30px;">
<p>$shipment.FormatToAddress(true)
<BR>Phone: $shipment.ShipToPhone
<br><strong>Address Type:</strong> 
#if ($shipment.ShipToResidence) Residential #else Commercial #end
#if ($shipment.ShipMessage.Length > 0) <br>
<strong>Message:</strong> $shipment.ShipMessage
#end</p>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table width="100%" border="2" align="center">
<tr>
<th class="Email">SKU</th>
<th class="Email">Product Name</th>
<th class="Email">Options</th>
<th class="Email">Quantity</th>
</tr>
<b>Vendor Name: </b>$vendorname
#foreach( $orderItem in $order.Items )

#if($orderItem.Product.Vendor.Name == $vendorname)

#if ($orderItem.OrderShipmentId == $shipment.OrderShipmentId)
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;">$orderItem.Sku</td>
<td>$orderItem.Name<br><font size=2><strong>$orderItem.LineMessage</strong>
#if ($orderItem.Inputs.Count > 0)
  #foreach( $input in $orderItem.Inputs )
    <strong>$input.Name</strong><strong>:</strong> 
	$input.InputValue
  #end
#end
</font></td>
<td>$orderItem.VariantName</td>
<td style="text-align: center;">$orderItem.Quantity</td>
</tr>
#end

#end

#end
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;">
<br>
Thank you for your order.  If you have any questions, please contact
$store.Name<br></td>
</tr>
#end
</table>
</body>
</html>

Now you can test the functionality by first creating an order with items that have some test vendors. When you ship the order each vendor will receive invoice with only its own product item information.

What if I wanted to trigger the Email to send when the Admin captures payment for the order? Could you please post the code for that? Pretty please!

I need the email to send to the vendor BEFORE we Ship the item. We are "shipping" the item once we get a tracking number back from the vendor and can put this information into Able for the customer to see.

Thank you!

Edit your Admin/Orders/Payments/CapturePayment.aspx.cs file and locate the following method

Code: Select all

protected void SubmitCaptureButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //GET THE CAPTURE AMOUNT
        LSDecimal captureAmount = AlwaysConvert.ToDecimal(CaptureAmount.Text);
        bool finalCapture = NoAdditionalCapture.Checked;
        if (captureAmount > 0)
        {
            _Payment.Capture(captureAmount, finalCapture, false);
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(CustomerNote.Text))
            {
                OrderNote note = new OrderNote(_Order.OrderId, Token.Instance.UserId, DateTime.UtcNow, CustomerNote.Text, NoteType.Public);
                note.Save();
            }
        }
        Response.Redirect("Default.aspx?OrderId=" + _OrderId.ToString());
    }

and change it as

Code: Select all

protected void SubmitCaptureButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //GET THE CAPTURE AMOUNT
        LSDecimal captureAmount = AlwaysConvert.ToDecimal(CaptureAmount.Text);
        bool finalCapture = NoAdditionalCapture.Checked;
        if (captureAmount > 0)
        {
            _Payment.Capture(captureAmount, finalCapture, false);
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(CustomerNote.Text))
            {
                OrderNote note = new OrderNote(_Order.OrderId, Token.Instance.UserId, DateTime.UtcNow, CustomerNote.Text, NoteType.Public);
                note.Save();
            }
        }

        //Vendor Notification Code Start

        foreach (OrderItem orderItem in _Order.Items)
        {
            if (orderItem.OrderItemType == OrderItemType.Product)
            {
                if (orderItem.Product.Vendor != null)
                {
                    EmailTemplateCollection emailTemplates = EmailTemplateDataSource.LoadForCriteria(" Name = 'VendorNotificationEx' ");
                    if (emailTemplates.Count > 0)
                    {
                        emailTemplates[0].Parameters.Add("store", Token.Instance.Store);
                        emailTemplates[0].Parameters.Add("order", _Order);
                        emailTemplates[0].Parameters.Add("vendorname", orderItem.Product.Vendor.Name);
                        emailTemplates[0].ToAddress = orderItem.Product.Vendor.Email;
                        emailTemplates[0].Send();
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        //Vendor Notification Code End

        Response.Redirect("Default.aspx?OrderId=" + _OrderId.ToString());
    }

Thank you for the help, however something broke when I tried that. I uploaded that code to the Admin/Orders/Payments/CapturePayment.aspx.cs file. Then I created a new vendor notification email named "VendorNotificationEx" according to your previous post.

When I tried processing the payment on an order, I now get the following "Compilation Error Message."

Any thoughts? Again, thanks so much for your help on this!

Edit the file again and find the following code

Code: Select all

using CommerceBuilder.Users;

and make it look like

Code: Select all

using CommerceBuilder.Users;
using CommerceBuilder.Messaging;

It seems that you over written the Cancel_Button method. so just add following method to the file

Code: Select all

protected void CancelCaptureButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Response.Redirect("Default.aspx?OrderId=" + _OrderId.ToString());
    }

I appreciate your patience and work with me on this. I'm not sure where to add this code in the file (I'm not a programmer ... more just a internet marketing guy). Here is my code currently for that file:

Hi,

is it possible to do this for multiple orders at once. For example, in the "Administration > Orders" screen, is it possible to select multiple orders and then collate all sales items in those orders into one email per Vendor.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,

Kind regards,

Lance

I assume we can do something similar to send a packing slip to the vendor also? We have developed a site that sells the products for the vendors, we just process it, so getting an order and packing slip to the vendor with just the vendors portion of the order is critical.

Post by **mazhar** » Thu May 28, 2009 4:11 am

Yes possible.

                        emailTemplates[0].Parameters.Add("order", _Order);
                        emailTemplates[0].Parameters.Add("vendorname", orderItem.Product.Vendor.Name);
                        emailTemplates[0].ToAddress = orderItem.Product.Vendor.Email;
                        emailTemplates[0].Send();
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        //Vendor Notification Code End

        Response.Redirect("Default.aspx?OrderId=" + _OrderId.ToString());
    }

Thanks Mazhar. Wouldn't this also have to be added to \Admin\Orders\Default.aspx.cs as well as \Admin\Orders\Payments\CapturePayment.aspx.cs so that if you process payments from the default Order Manager page, it also happens? I haven't tested the above code, but it also looks like it sends a notification for each item. So if the order contains 2 items for Vendor A, it will send 2 notifications. Am I missing something?

For my client, I think I need the following process:

customer places order
gateway set to authorize and capture so order status goes directly to Shipment Pending (I'll have to disable the normal vendor notification email trigger)
merchant reviews orders and changes order to a custom order status called Shipment Approved
custom vendor notification code must be triggered somehow for this custom status.

For the above process, can you tell me if the following is workable or would you suggest something else?

Find all code locations where statuses can be changed to custom order status Shipment Approved and make call to custom vendor notification there.

Thanks.

Yes it seems that sample code will send vendor notification for each product within order. We need to make a small change to the code that will first group the vendors available in order and then send one copy of notification to each of them. Update code could be something like

Code: Select all

//Vendor Notification Code Start
        VendorCollection vendors = new VendorCollection();
        foreach (OrderItem orderItem in _Order.Items)
        {
            if (orderItem.OrderItemType == OrderItemType.Product)
                if (orderItem.Product.Vendor != null)
                    vendors.Add(orderItem.Product.Vendor);
            
        }

        foreach (Vendor vendor in vendors)
        {
            EmailTemplateCollection emailTemplates = EmailTemplateDataSource.LoadForCriteria(" Name = 'VendorNotificationEx' ");
            
            if (emailTemplates.Count > 0)
            {
                emailTemplates[0].Parameters.Add("store", Token.Instance.Store);
                emailTemplates[0].Parameters.Add("order", _Order);
                emailTemplates[0].Parameters.Add("vendorname", orderItem.Product.Vendor.Name);
                emailTemplates[0].ToAddress = orderItem.Product.Vendor.Email;
                emailTemplates[0].Send();
            }
        }
//Vendor Notification Code End

* customer places order
* gateway set to authorize and capture so order status goes directly to Shipment Pending (I'll have to disable the normal vendor notification email trigger)
* merchant reviews orders and changes order to a custom order status called Shipment Approved
* custom vendor notification code must be triggered somehow for this custom status.

Yes above procedure is correct. You need to put Email trigger code against the code changing order status.

Is there an easy way to search for those code locations? Or can you list where I need to change them? In some cases, I think the order status isn't changed by the code but is changed by commerceBuilder actions. For example, payment.Capture or shipment.Ship.

So far, I think I need to trigger the code from the following locations:

Order Summary - Update Selected Orders
Order Shipments - Ship Items (if changing quantity)

Have I missed anything? Thanks Mazhar.

Yep you need to automate these locations in order manager.

According to another post, there is no way to reissue a normal vendor notification through the system. Am I correct that if I wanted to reissue normal vendor notifications or the above modified multiple vendor notifications, I would have to customize the View Order -> Send Email Functionality?

As a work-around, since our vendor emails are BCC'd to the merchant, they can forward the copy from their email client.

Yes you can manually trigger Emails from Admin -> View Order -> Trigger an Email, so you can update that place as well for your custom Emails or as you stated they can also forward to resend notification copy they received as bcc.

This thread has given me a headache. ...Can't tell the fixes from the repairs.

Sending a vendor ONLY his products from a multi-product order seems like an important - and basic - feature.

Please tell me that 7.0.3 will incorporate this into it.
