The company i work for running Magento 1.7.0.2 with a Cart2quote extension.
They are getting frustrated because when they add a list of products to an order in admin the products dont stay in the order that they were inputted.
Example By SKU:
Order inputted-
D707
E018
P883
P882
Order when finished inputting-
D707
P882
P883
E018
I have only used 4 as an example, although more often than not it can be in excess of 50+ products.
Could this be due to an extension confilct with cart2quote or is there some other soloution?
Sometimes, buy pressing "Updates items and qtys" it does put them in a reverse order (first product is last) and they can live with that.
But as it is now, its making it frustrating for them to double check they have inputted the correct items.
Im sorry to waffle on, but any comments would be appreciated.
Many Thanks in advance.
Dale.
I'm not familiar with this extension, but check created time, updated time, id, etc when sorting.

I'm working for a client which has 3 websites and multiple storeviews each. For some reason he really wants to have 3 currencies and each currency it's own price per product.
So a product can cost i.e. €49,99 / $55,- / £39,95 and these prices have to be configured for each product. To clarify: There is no relation between the prices so it can't be done with an exact percentage. Prices need to differ completely.
I've found "solutions" to make 3 separate websites with each a different price for a product, but seeing as there are already 3 websites, I'd need 9 and that's just out of the question.
Also I found extensions like this: http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/currency-pricing.html - all of 'm don't work with 1.9 and especially work worse with configurable products, which happens to be the case here.
I'm really out of ideas, anyone else got a possible fix for this?
Update 06-2016 I get quite some mails about this question, if I ever found a fix or some other solution; sadly no. I did do further investigation about it and found out that this concept goes against the core-logic of the Magento (multi)store. We've now begun to work with Magento2 and will evaluate again if it is easier in this version. If I ever get to something, I'll update the question here.
There is no fix.
I think you need an own magento for every currency cause PRODUCTS ONLY USE ONE PRICE. Sadly..
I have a website made with Magento, and a theme by me. The problem is:
The simple product with low stock is associated to a configurable product, and when i try to add a higher quantity of that simple product, it allows, and then, after the checkout proccess, we receive a e-mail from the store that there is a failure in the proccess like:
Payment operation failed:
Reason:
Not all products are available in the requested quantity
It occurs in bundle products that have a default quanity more than 1 too.
Someone can help me?
Thanks.
EDIT:
Found this solution but i can't truncate my sales tables on database. I have all my sales records there, and there are a lot of them. I can't loose it. Magento: After ordering configurable product, its canceled because its out of stock
How many orders do you need to remove? If you got a handful that you can count by hand, you can try this solution to remove unwanted orders.
how can i delete test order from magento
It looks like it should work, but, as always, review the code and try it on one order first..
Hi I am having a problem with importing Quote products in CRM 2011.
When I downloaded the template for import, the columns require that I state whether the product is a 'Write-in' or an 'Existing' product. Then there are an additional 2 columns: Write In, Existing.
On filling in the template with sample data for import, I wrote something like this:
Write-in | | New product |......
Existing | Existing Product 1 | |.......
(The | is a new column )
I am assuming that when the product is a write-in product, you must enter a new product and when the product is an existing product, you write the name of an existing product in the system. The other columns are then left blank.
However, I am getting errors on import and I have no clue why :/ I am giving it the wrong data?
Also... the company does not make use of a Product List. Is there a way in which I can bypass its use since every time I enter a new product, I am asked to give the price list and this is not viable for the company since there are hundreds of products and the items and their prices change constantly so we cannot make use of a Product List especially when I am asked to enter a New Product List every time :/
Does anyone have a clue of what can be done? Thanks :)
IMHO, I can suggest the following.
Have a default price list, Onload of such forms, autofill that field with that PriceList.
Also, when quote is created, use JScript to say there is always going to be a write In product. (Then, you dont require the Product Lookup filled in).
Also, I dont know what kind of errors you get here, but when you specify an existing product, you also have to specify the UniOfMeasure or something. Make sure you have one supplied in your CSV.
I understand how to programmatically create a product and also add to cart. I know this might sound dumb but is it is possible to generate a product on the fly and add that to the cart/quote but never actually save it in the database.
We want to create a made to order interface and I was thinking at the end it could add a bundle product with all the selections but that bundle product wouldn't actually exist in the backend.
I figured as long as you can make sure the quote and order has what it needs in terms of the product it would be ok, but obviously there is probably a lot that is tied to looking up stuff in the db on a specific sku or ID. I know that if you delete a product and then look at an order in the admin that causes issues, at least it did for this one scenario I was dealing with.
I was thinking of creating a giant bundle product that had like 6 different bundle items and each item could potentially have like 500 products and then based on what the user selects I programmatically add the bundle to cart. But then I wasn't sure if there would be a negative affect with having a gigantic bundle product like that as well.
UPDATE:
I don't think this will work, obviously there are a lot of information tied to the product in the database and we setup a test and right away we get an error for $item->getProduct(). We are moving forward with creating a giant bundle product and also the generic product with adding custom options on the fly, which Anda pointed out below. Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I'm not sure that clockworkgeek's approach is going to work. On every page load, Magento loads the items from the cart to make sure that they are still valid (in-stock, prices correct, etc), and amends the cart to reflect those values. My understanding of the system in the past has been that a product in the cart needs to have a corresponding database value to survive this process.
The "giant bundle product" approach is a pain, but in the past has been the best approach I have found. Attempting to change the values of the product (such as price or attributes) will be overridden by the cart checks, so you need a product w/ maximal flexibility, such as an overly-customized bundle product or configurable product.
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Joe
Why not create a generic product in db and then set the product customization as custom options (additional_options) on the fly depending on the user selection. You can add custom options to the product (actually to the quote item) without having to save them in the database. I did this once for a website that sells glasses with prescription. The prescription was added as an option.
You can programmatically create Mage_Sales_Model_Quote_Items and add them to the cart. You've noticed it needs a product to match it's product ID but it needn't be a useful one. It could be a blank, disabled product, also created in code. All that's needed is a stub.
The necessary stuff for the cart is stored in the quote item - fields like name, value and quantity. Those fields are then copied directly to the order without using a product.
Mage::getModel('catalog/product')
creates a new product. you can add it to a cart, by doing something like this:
$cart = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart');
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')
->setStoreId($storeid)
->setTypeId($type_id)
->setQty($quantyty)
->setWhatAttributYouWant($attribute);
$cart->addProduct($product);
product attributes you can find in the DB in tables that start like catalog_product_... or take an already created product, and see what attributes it has in the _data array (with debugger or just print_r($product->getData))
So, the site we are working on right now is going to be Multisite and we are going to have different pricing for each website. The issue comes when one of those sites needs to have two different price lists.
There is going to be the price list for one site, and another price list for the other and then there will be a price list based on the customer group for the second site. I am not sure the best way to set this up since the pricing will be per website. The only other option that I see out of the box is to use the tiered pricing functionality and set if customer group A qty 1 and above use this price. (Thank you Joseph Mastey from one of your other answers!)
I'm concerned about this since I am doing a nightly price update as well and I assume programmatically saving this per product could be a pain. If anyone has any tips on setting the tiered pricing programmatically that would be huge or if you have another suggestion I would appreciate all that come my way!
Thanks for the mention :)
Having looked at this before, you're exactly correct. The tiered prices seem to be the only easy way to accomplish this. I have thought about trying to use multiple store views to the same effect, but I haven't had success yet.
Also, yes, updating tier prices can be a pain, I'm not sure the APIs even support it.
The API does support updating tier pricing.

If there is a simple percentage reduction for one customer group then you can use a Catalog Price Rule.
