Was this information Helpful?

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

Hi, Would be interested to

Hi,

Would be interested to hear if you've made any progress on this.

I'm starting work on a module to implement same today. The module will allow users to upload stockist listings via CSV into a custom table, then allow the site to update stock and pricing levels based on stock availability etc.

Look forward to hearing of your progress!

Cheers

Re: Hi, Would be interested to

This suppliers module is coming along nicely - you can add several suppliers, then upload CSV files and match the SKU, List Price, Sell Price, and Stock Level values to import the CSV.

Once that's done, the module dynamically alters prices in the site using hook_nodeapi().

Here, for example, we define a function which says "if the list price is < 10, make the sell price $list_price * 1.1 ; else make the sell price $list_price * 1.05"

We'll test it out over the weekend. I'd be very interested to hear of other use cases which we could build into the first release of the module, and ways in which people would prefer to use to customise the price calculation methods.

What other features would be useful to people in such a module?

Re: Suppliers module

I couldn't be bothered waiting (and didn't have heavy supplier needs), so I just:

  1. Created a new Suppliers content type
  2. Created a node reference to it on Product content type
  3. Created a View to display stock by supplier (with the usual cost/sell/stock).

Guess it  depends on your requirements. I didn't really need (couldn't be bothered) to maintain the cost price from several suppliers for each product.

Re: Suppliers module

Yea i have some basic views already, i used node relationships as well. But when a product can come from multiple places, its hard to update the price to the viewer. Normally we would just base the price on the highest cost vendor, so if it changed it went down. but theres no module to do that.
