So, here is what I need to do and maybe some of you have already figured this out or could point me in the right direction.
When I add an order under the ‘suplier’ I need to PO (purchase order) to have the delivery address (which would be the address of a customer) and the Address of the ‘supplier’ to send the PO to.
The industry I am in is the buy and resell industry, we represent manufacturers for 3 US states and we get orders form clients like the city of Cincinnati and then turn around and order them from XYZ inc. … XYZ inc then sends the item directly to Cincinnati and invoices us…we in turn invoice the city of Cincinnati.
So I guess my question here is…any tips for making dolibarr work for me in this fashion? I already am changing the proposals to say, “Price Quotes” which is what they are called in my industry. Now I just need the “Add Order” to look and function more like the POs we issue now.
So if i understand your needs, you want to be able to do the following things when you add a supplier order :
- define the delivery address to inform the supplier where to deliver products.
- print this delivery address on the supplier invoice.
is this right ?
in this case, you have to define a new external contact type in the dictionnary; give it the name “delivery address”.
Then you can define the delivery address on the contact/address tab of the supplier order.
All you have to do now is to update your pdf model to print this information on the supplier order document.
If you need help to update your pdf model, there are lots of small companies around dolibarr that can provide you this service at low cost
Unless of course, someone helps you for free in the forum by giving you the modified code if it’s really easy.
I followed your steps but I’m not sure what you mean by it will allow me to define a delivery address on the contact/address tab. Do I need to also create a contact (person) and associate it with the company to whom I am selling the product in order to change of of those field to the delivery address? Where do I add this data? Sorry a lot of questions I know, but this part doesn’t appear obvious to me.
