Is it possible to add more item types?

Post by LoganTheWebDev » Tue Nov 25, 2014 8:51 am

Currently, we're using the "Add Other Item" functionality to add serial numbers to products. The problem is, right now we have to select the item type "Handling" which isn't the worst, but it's not the best either. I saw that item types appear to be an enum in the Able Commerce dll, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to add more item types? Or perhaps a better way to handle adding serial numbers to products?

You can't extend enum. It is in back end code so I guess you are already using the right option available. Alternatively if if this serial number is just a label like attribute of product order item and have nothing to do with calculations you may consider using OrderItem.CustomFields dictionary. These custom fields are not exposed at UI so you will have to do the coding to collect/show your information.
