We have a business need that can be addressed by creating a new module for Ubercart. I'm creating this topic to discuss the module details and find others who have the same need so we could join our powers and make a module that will be useful for everybody.
The reason of creating this module is to give Ubercart "Supplier Relationship Management" ability. the features i already have in mind includes:
- ability to assign one or several suppliers to one product
- ability to import products from files provided by suppliers
- ability to save cost, pickup address, availability of products from each supplier
- ability to keep track of purchases from each supplier
- ability to keep track order status with each supplier
- ability to inform the supplier of new orders by email
- ability to generate a page for each supplier that contains a list of orders and their status
