Hi, sometimes we have multiple purchase requests, which are of the same product but different quantities, for example, cables, which we don’t want to group on a single purchase line, as we want to buy 10 cables of 10m each, not a single 100m cable.
I’ve checked the purchase_secondary_unit module, but it is not clear for me if it can be used to solve our needs, and how would it be, as a real case is something like:
1u of 500m, 1u of 520m, 2u of 345m, 1u of 470m …. there is not standard measures, it can be any amount of the second unit.
Any ideas? thanks in advance.
I guess the only option is that you customize the grouping of purchase lines to avoid grouping in your cases (you did not explain when you want to group and when you do not want to group) so several lines are created for the same purchase requests.
Once you’ve customized the grouping, you may add the secondary unit if its relevant for your needs, but secondary unit is not necessary for grouping.
Sorry, it is not easy to explain, but I would say that I don’t to group when the grouping is literally modifying what I’m purchasing, using the same example as before, if I need 2 cables of 100m each, buying a single 200m cable is a completely different thing.
Thats exactly what I did, but after the development I started thinking that there could be a way to solve this without having the need to add anything new.
Thanks.
Then you need to have 2 different products, 1 unit of cable 100m and 1 unit of cable 200m.
The only thing I don’t really like about this is that it wouldn’t be just 2 different products, I don’t how many products would I need to create but I know there won’t be just a few.
But of course it makes sense.
Thanks.
