In Magento, is it possible to provide a Pick & Pack list of items of available completed orders, to the 3rd-party Logistics company?
There are, however, some additional problems which are:-
- Which all 3rd-party logistics companies be available & how? Will they be registered as customers or will they be available in some other way in Magento (just like Customers, but with very minimal permissions)?
- How will they be provided with the Pick & Pack List? Will they be mailed or they can view the list in some way in the Admin?
- If they (3rd-party logistics companies) are provided with login in the Magento admin, then they can also provide the Tracking Number of the dispatched goods.
All queries & answers are welcome, and many thanks in advance to all of you for providing any suitable / probable way.
we actually make a Magento extension which does exactly what you are looking for.
For 3rd party access I would recommend setting up a new admin user account with only permissions set to view sales>orders, they can then log in, add the tracking number (if you want them to do that), and then print picklists for the relevant orders. They can print one where all items are combined by sku, and one where all orders are summarized by order.
