I'm trying to use HikaShop as an inventory management backend.

What I want to achieve, is we manufacture and our products are made up of different component parts that make product A.

We sell the product as "Product A' and "Product B" and so on, but they all are basically made up of varying different quantities of the component parts.

What I'd like to be able to do is import my sales data from offline sales into my back end and get a consolidated report of all the components we'll use to make up the orders of our various products.

ie: if we have 100 orders of Product A and B how many component parts broken down by part name will we use to fulfill the order?

If Product A uses 3 caps and Product B uses two caps, and we have 5 orders of each, then the report should spit out a consolidated report that shows
Caps: 25 (Showing the total number of caps used across the 5 orders of Product A and B)

Is it possible to do this with Hika?

Hi,

I think that it's possible.
Here is a report settings for that:
take.ms/gi08h
And here is the result listing on my test website:
take.ms/tp3fl
So you can have orders with products with options in them and have the report system calculate the consolidated quantities sold for each product option like that.
There is however no import system for orders in HikaShop. And even if you can create orders manually in the backend, the order creation there doesn't support adding products with options. So I guess it would require the development of a script to import your order data in HikaShop.
