Is there a way to order in advance with desired delivery- day?

[iodok]

Hi All,

In our store we want to sell living goods.
Therefore our clients need delivery in a certain time-slot.

Is there a way to order in advance and adjust send- date according to the shipping delay?
F. i. the customer needs the items on Friday, the system knows this order should be processed on wednesday because shipping takes 2 days.
If that can be done, can I sort and filter the orders- overview by date of processing?

Thanks for your help

If I understand you correctly,  yes this all sounds perfectly feasible.

For order procesing a useful hook is the OrderIntegrationMgr class - where you can place code to be executed whenever an order changes status.  Details in the User Guide.

In the next release of the Enterprise Extensions there is an integration with the Quartz scheduler and a generic KonaKart "execute()" function provided in the API.   This combination can make it very easy to execute KonaKart-related jobs on a scheduled basis - which might help satisfy some of the requirements you have there.

Where(what screen) and how did you allow the customer to enter their "need by" date?
Any code your willing to share would help me out a lot.
