3.10. Client product orders

Up one level
Bika offers a web based product ordering sub-system to labs selling laboratory related products other than its analytical services. This functionality originated in co-operative wine labs that sell basic glass ware and chemicals to to their wine maker clients for use in their wineries. Orders can be placed remotely by clients themselves or lab clerks in the lab taking it down telephonically. Orders have only 2 statuses, Pending and Dispatched

The laboratory offers a number of items for sale to its clients. The list of items are defined by the lab manager under Products in the bika setup. These products appear in the list of items that can be ordered when placing an order

A newly placed order is in pending status and can still be altered. Once the order has been fulfilled, the status changes to dispatched and it cannot be edited anymore

The client user clicks on the |orders| tab to view existing orders and add a new order. All the orders for that company, pending and dispatched, are shown
