avecormariae Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 I don't know if i'm even putting this question in the right category or not, but i have to start somewhere! I've put together a store for a client who is 'selling' company merchandise. Basically, they are offering clothing, mugs, etc. with the company logo on it. Right now, when the orders are submitted, they are filled and the invoice delivered to the payroll department for payroll deduction from the employee's paycheck. Easy enough and works like a charm. Here's the fun part. They like the store so much they want to add a category for crew members to order uniforms. The problem is, when these orders are completed, they want the notification to go to the crew management department where it will be deducted from their annual 'uniform allotment fund'. It is reasonable to assume that the same employee will purchase both a uniform item(s) and another item(s) from the company merchandise. Which means that two different departments need to receive the order notification with ONLY the items they are responsible for showing up on it. I would assume that it would also need to generate two separate invoices/packing slips – so while it is technically only one order from the employee's end, it would appear as two separate orders on the back end? ACK! :blink: The client doesn't want the employee to have to place two separate orders. They also want to avoid having the payroll person mark off what they've done and walking the paperwork down the hall to the other person. (I won't go into employee commentary here!) Is this even possible? Is there a contribution or a tweak somewhere that does this? I didn't see anything that addresses this particular issue, but admittedly, I may have missed something. I really don't know if this would be a shipping topic, an order total topic or what...so i apologize if i've put this in the wrong spot. Open to suggestions and whatever advice anyone has. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Quote
