Approvals and Partial Shipments

[jcroce]

Hi,

I need to add a shopping cart to a Joomla website. The first part of selecting items, total, etc. is all standard. The trick is this...

A user/customer will order their products from BUSINESS WEBSITE.

Once they place their order, it needs to be approved by their manager before it can be filled. At minimum an email for the order is sent to a third party. Best case scenario the third party can login and enter an approval code.

Once the manager approves the order, BUSINESS WEBSITE receives notification and will fill the order.

If BUSINESS WEBSITE only ships a partial order, does the system generate unique invoice numbers for each part of the order, or is there a way for the invoices with a single invoice number to indicate partial shipment or follow-up/final shipment showing items that were previously shipped or will be shipped in the future?

Regards,

John
