Shipping cost Doubled on Advance Stock Mangement with multiple Warehouses

[Universer]

Hello.

 

I have a website that has

 

- Advance Stock Management active.

- 2 warehouses A and B

- 1 carrier with a fixed sum

 

If a product "mac" has 2 items in Warehouse A and 2 in Warehouse B

And

If another product "laptop" has 3 items in Warehouse A and 3 in Warehouse B

 

If I set an order with 3 "mac" and 4 "laptop" I am getting the transport fee doubled.

 

How can stop the fee to double it self.

 

Anyone has ever encounter this problem ?

 

Regards.

That makes sense because the carrier fee is per warehouse, it is not an all encompassing fee. What kind of carriers are you using? 

[Universer]

Well both warehouses are in the same city.

 

There is a single carrier.

 

The carrier it's created trough the wizard carrier and has a price ranges but has a handling and shipping fee active.

 

There is a handling and sipping fee of $20 and for $300 or more is free.

 

The fee gets doubled if the products are from different warehouses.

 

Can this be bypassed and have a single shipping fee ?

 

I have tried to set the carrier fee to 0 and add the handling fee for the carrier but I'm getting the same doubled fee.

Hello,

 

I also d'ont understand why we don't have a choice for make unique shipping even if products come from 2 warehouse. That should be an option.

 

So many people ask for that on forum but rpestashop never answer, i don't understand why.

 

If you have 1 product from an warehouse and 1 from on other (or not in any warehouse) then Prestashop will double the shipping cost.

Even in the manual of prestashop it is not write anywhere, that is so AMAZING !!!!!

Here is the problem.

 

Because the Advance Stock and Warehouse Manager was from conception a bust from a logistic point of view.

 

Warehouse Manager lets you configure a Warehouse not a Warehouse NODE with sub-warehouses.

 

Till now I had to overwrite the payment module, the stock with it's instant child's (manager,movements, instant), the order page so I will have a single order and single invoice not multiple, the client area, etc. Since I had some troubles with how prestashop takes the items from the warehouses I had to make a prioritization rule, first from Warehouse 1 - Stock A then Stock B etc.

 

There are a lot of modifications that had to overwrite the core functions of Prestashop, but since they are all packed into a module.

 

Since it's working module I will probably give it a BO interface where you could revert/update but not sooner than 03.2016 and unfortunately probably will be paid but a reasonable sum, not a prohibitive one.

Hi Universer!

Any luck in developing that module?

Hi Universer!

Hello.

 

None it's purely idiotic the way the Advance Stock Management work flow, from a logistic point of view.

 

I had to develop a 2-rd party that manages the accounting (to eliminate excel invoices and manual administration), delivery, multiple warehouses nodes and stocks and individual prices. The prices and stocks as sum are overwritten in the prestashop database. In the 2-rd party the orders are imported where I can choose from which warehouse to subtract.

 

It's currently in beta stage, will be available probably in late 2017 for a monthly/yearly license fee, but surely will have some prestashop forum giveaways.
