Shipping fee for shipping products from different warehouses

Hi guys

I see that AC7 supports associating a product with a warehouse, and if a customer places an order through the checkout for example with 2 products each from a different warehouse, AC7 smartly breaks the order up into 2 shipments.

What I would like to know is, is it possible to configure AC7 do the above but without adding 2 seperate shipping charges? Rather than charging the customer potentially twice the shipping cost because their order needs to come from 2 warehouses - some merchants I think would want to absorb that cost and only charge a single shipping charge (e.g. I think Amazon does this).

Alternately is it possible to configure AC7 to not automatically break up the order into seperate shipments but still retain product warehouse assignment for admin purposes?

Hello,

Nope this isn't something built into AbleCommerce, it would require customization or dropping the use of this feature. If this is just for admin purposes, I'm sure another field could be used like SKU.

e.g. SKU-Wh1, SKU-Wh2

Easier than re-working the feature and still alerts fulfillment to what's up.
