I found that the Warehouses addon only works for multiple stores. I do not have multiple stores but I do have multiple warehouses and I have been using the Suppliers addon as my warehouses. It would have been nice if the Warehouse addon worked with the Suppliers addon.
Thank you for taking the time to try the new functionality. I think I know what you mean. Just to make sure we're on the same page, is it about charging customers extra money for shipping from certain warehouses? If so, then it wasn't a part of the initial release, but could be added in future updates, depending on the demand.
I'd appreciate it if you could provide more details about what you'd like to achieve with the "Warehouses" add-on (either in this topic, or via forum private messages). Warehouses are a relatively new functionality, and they
might head in the direction of replacing the "Suppliers" add-on eventually. A lot depends on the feedback we get.
I have the same products that I can buy from 3 different suppliers , and am just starting to see if its possible to show live stock in total from our shelf and the suppliers.
is it possible for it to link to these and pull the stock from each supplier csv/ftp etc.
It is possible to show stock from your shelf and ALL your suppliers combined. The Warehouses [Beta] add-on already allows that. Here's how to do it:
- Create your own shelf as a warehouse.
- Create EACH of your suppliers as a separate warehouse.
- Configure all warehouses to "Ship to" all rate areas (so that all customers can see the quantities from all these "warehouses" combined).
- Create an import preset for each of your suppliers. The preset allows you to select a "warehouse" to which you'll be importing the quantity. Each warehouse is available as a field on the "Fields Mapping" tab.
Please let me know (maybe in PM) if these instructions help.
