Distributor Interface - Purchase Orders, Emails & Exporting
I’m surprised that I cannot find mention of this here in the drop-shippers group. We would like Magento to do the following:
1. Email our distributor (at the click of a button) when a new order comes in. Basically the system pulls from “purchase price” and “distributor” fields from the database to create a Purchase Order.
2. Purchase Order Manager?? The same way that we can view/edit/update sales orders we need to be able to have this functionality with Purchase Orders. It could be/should be linked to the sales receipt since a canceled customer order is also a canceled Purchase Order.
3. Ability to export Purchase Orders in the same way that you can export Invoices and sales receipts.
4. Email updates/requests to distributors. The same way that Magento allows you to communicate with your customers, we would like to communicate with Distributors so that we can keep track of this communication.

That would be great. I expected to see this functionality in magento. Any idea how long it takes to implement it by a developer?

I would love to see this added to magento also.

If anyone has any info, please let me know. I need this feature desperately, and would be happen even to help develop and write it. However, at this time, I’m still learning how to build extensions, so until I’m up to speed on that, I’m hoping someone else has taken the lead
