Pre-Order Functionality

[Former Member]

Hi, Is there any support in hybris for pre-ordering fucntionality. I skimmed through some of the documents and have failed to find it. If Hybris doesnt provide Pre-Order functionality, what could be a good approach to make it work with hybris? Thanks and Cheers!

Pre-order functionality has two aspects to it:

1. an item can be ordered though there is no stock. That can be done by adding an attribute to the product like "preorder" (boolean, items.xml) or a certain stock-level (-999 or so) etc, this depends on your needs or other product statuses that you might have. Then you need to modify the cart-add-widgets/tags to show the buy button in a different way and any stock-level checks with cart-add and checkout you need to make aware of the special status of the product.

2. hold the order from shipping until the stock is there. this is usually a matter of the ERP, not the e-com system.

Hi Konrad,

Thanks for the reply. There are Pre-Order information in the Stock Level object. There are other attributes too maxPreOrder, preOrder. Are these attributes helpful to check the conditions.

Thanks and Cheers!
