Partial Shipment and Print Invoices

Hi,

Is it possible to spilt the orders in Opencart. Our requirement is to spilt the orders and do a partial shipment and print the invoices only for the partial shipment. Do you have any extensions or configuration steps to achieve this in Opencart.

Thanks

It's despactch notes rather then invoices so don't know if it is of any use to you:

That helps us only patially.

What we are looking for is, for example, if I have order with two items Item A and Item B with qty as 10 each.

If for some reason, I want to ship these as follows:
Item A -- qty 5
Item B -- qty 4

Then I should be able to print the invoices for only the qty shipped and not for the entire order. Also I should be able to track in the system, how qty is pending for shipping.

Well, not exactly what you are looking for I know, but what I did was add a column "status" to my invoices between the "quantity" and "unit price" columns and I hand write in a code for each product which is then explained in another line I added:

"Status Code: [] or X = Item enclosed
B = Item Backordered. Will ship separately | P = Item Previously Shipped or Shipped separately | x/x = Partial quantity shipped. Remainder will ship separately. O = Other: __________________"

So far it's worked well for me.

I would love to be able to type this in before the invoice is printed - and add a typed comment to the invoice if I'd like (right now I hand write one if needed), but haven't figured out a way to do that.

I use a cut down version of the extension (that he adjusted a bit for me so that the part despatched orders were a bit more obvious in the order list) that I posted a link too as I don't need bar codes and whatever. It does allow you to despatch part amounts as you want but of course it only allows a despatch note not an invoice - you're going to struggle a bit as the order can only have one invoice number attached to it so a dispatch note is really the only sensible way to do it.

I just generate an invoice with an order comment stating that it is a split delivery which goes with the final installment of products, a despatch note with the same split delivery comment is used for the first consignment of products so that the customer is aware that there will be more items turning up.

You could always then use a 'Part Despatched' order status that you could then filter on in the order list so you can keep track of part orders.
