How does the system choose a supply?
- By default, according to the priority of the state of the stock availability and only subsequently according to the price.
- State of the stock has the following priority (from highest priority to lowest):
- Available in the store
- Available
- Available in external stock
- On the way
- To order
- Pre-order
- At the supplier
- Example:
- The product contains three supply from three suppliers. Suppliers are named A,B and C. Availability of the stock supplies and prices are:
- Supplier A - availability of the stock (Available in the store) - price (15€)
- Supplier B - availability of the stock (Available in external stock) - price (10€)
- Supplier C - availability of the stock (Available in the store) - price (12€)
- The product contains three supply from three suppliers. Suppliers are named A,B and C. Availability of the stock supplies and prices are:
- In this case, the selected supplier will be C because he has a more priority stock level (Available in the store) and has a lower price than supplier A.
How does the system work with a combination of multiple supplies from different suppliers?
- For one product, the system always selects supply from only one supplier. The system cannot recognize that a product is available from another supplier. This is a measure because other suppliers could have different prices, delivery times, etc.
- For example:
- The product contains supplies of two suppliers A and B.
- The supplier A has available 1 pcs
- The supplier B has available 4 psc
- It is selected as the primary supply from supplier A. The customer wants to buy 3 pieces of this product, but it isn't allowed to him. He can only buy 1pc. The reason is that the system does not take into account the availability of other suppliers.
- The product contains supplies of two suppliers A and B.
- For example:
- You can change this behavior by setting Allow purchase of more pieces than available for each vendor.
- The system allows the customer to purchase an unlimited number of pieces of product. The subsequent administration and processing of orders are up to you.
- The system doesn't check how many pieces in the total of all suppliers are really available.
- To change the settings, go to Administration → Settings → Suppliers → Settings and statistics → Allow purchase of more pieces than available.
