Different Suppliers | Vendors
🔗 1. How does it work for split by Vendors?
🔗 2. Products with various suppliers, does this plugin offer purchase request feature?
This plugin can split orders to the different suppliers, but this will not send any purchase order request to suppliers. That part would require some actions.
For example: Person A orders 100 dozen banana and 10 crates of red apples, both items are from different suppliers like Supplier A and Supplier B.
So, this plugin will split this one order into two different orders like this:
Order#1
100 dozen banana
Order#2
10 crates of red apples
That’s it.
These items are separated in your WooCommerce system, but nothing happens further. It will not send any purchase request to the supplier A and Supplier B.
🔗 3. How can I achieve Vendor based split with Exclusive (Free) split method?
Question: I want to ask, for example I order 2 products from vendor A and B, can I just make this order into 2 seperate order id without making the parent order? I already tried the exclusive but it didnt work, it always show the parent order.
Answer: Yes, it is possible by using vendor based split. Vendor based split is a PREMIUM feature.
To achieve the same results with exclusive method you have to select items differently but there should be only two types of products in your order always.
Vendor A and Vendor B
So exclusive will consider one of these as selected and others unselected. Like this you will be able to achieve the same results. But it will only work if only two vendors are involved. Multiple vendors products will not work with exclusive method. Group by Vendors is a recommended split method for this requirement.
🔗 4. Can I hide parent order form my vendors after split?
Question: How parent/original orders can be filtered from orders list and my account area after split?
Answer: Go to Order Statuses tab, on settings page, add new status. Select paid status “Orders are paid but hidden, if you want to keep but do not want to show.” Select newly created order status for the parent order on settings page. As a result parent order will not be visible to admin, customers and vendors as well in orders list.
Quantity Split
🔘 1. How default option in quantity split works?
Default option is compatible with WooCommerce PPOM (Personalized Product Option Manager) by N-Media. This plugin supports its Custom product fields so these will not get lost on order split and all custom product fields will get transferred into new splitted order. It can split variation of one product as well.
🔘 2. How does quantity split work?
1) Default:
This method will simply split all quantities into x1 in separate orders.
2) Custom & Eric Logic:
These methods will take the proportional value from item meta key “split”.
e.g.
A) 3:4 means keep 3 items in parent order and split 4 items in new order when 7 qty. was ordered
B) 1:1 means keep 1 item in parent order and split 1 item in new order when 2 qty. was ordered
C) 2 means keep remaining items in parent order and split 2 items in new order
Note: Difference between custom and Eric Logic is, selection of the items in order. You can make selection while splitting, so you can exclude a few from split.
How Eric Logic works?
i) Turn off auto split and original order removal first from settings page.
ii) From order list edit order you want to split with Eric Logic.
iii) On order edit page, hover on items under item box. There will appear a pencil icon after total amount of item. Click the pencil icon to edit item then click “Add meta” and two fields will appear.
iv) Fill the first field with “split” and the second with ratio as you want to split items and save it.
e.g. 4:4 for parent:child order when total qty of that item was 8 in order or simply enter the desired value without colon.
v) After these steps, get back to order list and split the order you have added split ratio to it.
vi) Now you can split from actions dropdown or split icon in orders list against the order number in row.
Emails | Payments
❀ 1. Will the split have happened after the payment is made?
Split has nothing to do with paid or unpaid orders. It will obey your rules, if you will set rules for processing, on-hold or even completed orders, it will trigger split action on time. It has to split only; it has nothing to do with stripe or PayPal difference. It will clone the payment records form parent order to child orders.
❀ 2. Will splitting run the hooks too to send out the emails to my warehouses?
If you are already triggering something with WooCommerce order status updated hooks, your hooks will remain intact. This plugin will simply trigger it’s own functions, so you can say, an order processed and moved from on-hold to processing status. Your custom hooks and this plugin’s hooks will work together according to the priorities set. About emails to your warehouse, you need to check if your emails related hooks are there, yes it will be working automatically.
❀ 3. Using WCFM, when email and PDF attachment sent, how does it work?
This plugin will split your parent order into multiple child orders. Each order will have separate vendor or group of vendors products together. According to that splitted order, PDF invoice can be regenerated and emails can be sent.
i) You can leave selection of vendors so it will consider all vendors to be in separate orders with their products
ii) If selection made, then vendors can be grouped together
e.g.
Vendor A & Vendor B = Group #1
Vendor C & Vendor D = Group #2
iii) After split emails can be sent to users, admin and even vendors. There is a checkbox available on emails tab, you can check that so instead of admin, vendors will receive the emails.
iv) Easily create custom order statuses and trigger custom emails when order status changes.
