STEP 4: Manage your orders

Use the MSI Order Management extension included in the MSI Suite to optimize your order management and automate the orders' assignation to the appropriate sources by creating custom algorithms.

Configure the extension from:
StoresSettingsConfiguration Wyomind MSI Order Management

Configure the order Pre-allocation and the shipment

Configure here, how you want the orders to be pre-allocated as well as the shipments.

Pre-allocation Process

Choose how you want the orders to be pre-allocated. You have 3 options:

Default: The pre-allocation before the shipment is not available.

Note that while the license is not registered, the default option will be used. Check how to activate your license.
Manual: The pre-allocation must be done manually once the order has been placed.
Automatic: The pre-allocation will be done automatically after the order has been placed and according to the algorithm you have selected in Source Selection Algorithm. The pre-allocation can also be modified manually.

Automatic Pre-allocation Source Selection Algorithm

When choosing the Automatic pre-allocation process, you must select a Source Selection Algorithm between:

Distance Priority: the order will be pre-allocated to the closest source
Source Priority: the order will be pre-allocated to the first source
Your custom algorithms: the order will be pre-allocated to sources according to the rules of your algorithm.
See how to create your custom algorithms.

Enable pre-allocation log

For the Manual or the Automatic pre-allocation process, you can display the log when executing the algorithm.

The log will be available after having run an algorithm from the pre-allocation grid.

Pending pre-allocations notification in the back-end

Receive notifications in your back-office when orders are not pre-allocated with the Automatic process.

The following notification will be displayed in your back-office:

Allow pre-allocation to sources not linked to the website

For the Manual and Automatic pre-allocation process, choose if you want to allow pre-allocation to sources not linked to the website.

In the case where the product of the order is assigned to "Wild Desert Store" but the source is not assigned to the website, then you can still pre-allocate quantities to "Wild Desert Store".

Limit pre-allocation according to the delivery address

The shipping rules allow you to automatically pre-allocate orders placed on your website to one or more sources according to your customer's shipping address: code of the country and/or zip code and/or regional code. These rules allow you to define the geographical area that each one of your sources can cover.

For each source, you can enable the Pre-allocation by shipping rules. from the Order Management tab of the source edition page from:
StoresInventorY Sources

If enabled, the shipping rules will apply each time an algorithm is run.

You will be able to fill in the Shipping rules using the same syntax as the Owebia Shipping extension (with their agreement).

Pending shipments notification in the back-end

You have the possibility to enable the pending shipments notification in your back-office. This option will display a notification when orders are not fully shipped.

Receive notifications in your back-office when orders are not shipped.

The following notification will be displayed in your back-office:

Create your custom algorithms

You can create new algorithms in:
SalesCustom Algorithms

Click on Create a New Algorithm.

General

In the General tab, fill in the following fields.

Code of the algorithm. It is internal.
Mini-backorders
Name of the algorithm.
Minimize backorders
Description of the algorithm.
This algorithm will minimize backorders.

Rules

You have the possibility to add rules to your algorithms.

When there are several rules, they are prioritized in the same order as they are configured in the algorithm.

So sources will be ordered according to the first rule, then if sources have the same order, they will be ordered according to the second rule...

From the final sources found, the pre-allocation will be minimized according to the maximum number of sources to use.

In the Rules tab, you can:

Add as many pre-allocation rules as you need for your algorithm by clicking on Add record.
Use the drag and drop option to order your rules.
Click on the bin icon to delete a rule from the Actions column.
Define the maximum number of sources to use and that will be allowed to pre-allocated the order.
Any custom algorithm tries to minimize the number of sources used. If the algorithm does not find a solution with a number of sources less than or equal to the field, the pre-allocation is not possible
2

Algorithm rules

You have the possibility to base your algorithm according to the following rules:

Minimize Backorders
This rule will favor pre-allocations to sources where there is stock for the products.
Minimize Distance
This rule will favor pre-allocations to the closest sources.
Minimize Imputation
This rule will favor pre-allocations to sources that have a lot of stocks.
Minimize Out Of Stock
This rule will favor pre-allocations that will not cause a stock shortage.

Manage your pre-allocations

You can check and edit your orders' pre-allocations from:
SalESOrders

In the orders grid, you'll be able to see different statuses from the Allocated sources column.

These statuses concern the pre-allocation or the shipment of the orders.

Note that when the order is fully shipped (pre-allocated), there is no distinction of status. Only the sources allocated for the shipment are displayed on one line.

Pre-allocation statuses

The pre-allocation status appears first, above the shipment status.

You can have:

X item to pre-allocate
X product must be pre-allocated manually to a source.
X item(s) is partially pre-allocated
There are still products from the order to pre-allocate.
Pre-allocation Sources: Name of the store
The order is pre-allocated to the source.
These are the sources used for the automatic or manual pre-allocations.
No pre-allocation required
For orders placed before the module installation and for orders that don't need to be pre-allocated (for example, products with no stock management).

Shipment statuses

The status concerning the shipments appears below the pre-allocation status.

You can have:

X item(s) to ship
X product(s) must be shipped manually.
X item(s) is partially shipped
There are still products from the order to ship.
Allocated Sources: Name of the source
The order is allocated to the source.
These are the sources used for the shipments.
No item to ship
When products cannot be shipped (virtual, downloadable, ....).

Automatic pre-allocation

MSI Order Management for Magento 2 allows you to automatically pre-allocate sources during the order validation.

For that, you must define the Pre-allocation process on Automatic from:
StoresSettingsConfiguration Wyomind MSI Order Management
The orders will be pre-allocated to sources according to the pre-allocation algorithm you have chosen:

Distance Priority: the order will be pre-allocated to the closest source
Source Priority: the order will be pre-allocated to the first source
Your custom algorithms: the order will be pre-allocated to sources according to the rules of your algorithm.
See how to create your custom algorithms.

If you have enabled the Pending pre-allocations notification in the back-end, the following notification will be displayed when the automatic process cannot find a solution for the pre-allocation.

Click on Manage these orders to open the orders grid displaying only the orders with pending pre-allocations.

See how to enable the pending pre-allocations notifications in your Magento back-office.

Manual pre-allocation

The extension allows you to edit the orders pre-allocations and to run the algorithms manually from the orders grid and pages.

You will be able to run default and custom algorithms via the Run Sources Selection Algorithm dropdown, and you will also be able to edit each field manually.

Sources can be:

editable: you can assign quantities to the source.
If the source is editable and displayed in grey, it means that the product is linked to the source but this one is not linked to the stock.
See how to enable pre-allocation to sources not linked to the website.
disabled: the product is not linked to the source (although the source belongs to the stock).

Although the automatic mode is activated, you can still manually modify the pre-allocation afterward.

You can pre-allocate orders to sources manually from the Sources pre-allocation section of the orders page or from the orders grid popup directly in:
SalesOrders

Click on X item(s) to pre-allocate from the Allocated sources column.

A popup should open and display the sources' pre-allocation for the order.

Select the algorithm from the Run source selection algorithm dropdown.
A notification should be displayed to confirm the pre-allocation.

Note that the pre-allocation is automatically saved after running a Sources Selection Algorithm.

Create your shipments

The extension allows you to create shipments in a few clicks only in:
SalesOrders

If you have enabled the Pending shipments notification in the back-end, the following notification will be displayed in your back-office.

Click on Manage these orders to open the orders grid displaying only the orders with pending shipments.

See how to enable the pending shipments notifications in your Magento back-office.

You can create the shipments from the Sources pre-allocation section of the orders page directly or from the orders grid popup directly in:
SalesOrders

Click on X item(s) to ship from the Allocated sources column.

A popup should open and display the stock pre-allocation for the order.

From the Save pre-allocation dropdown, choose Save Pre-Allocation and Create Shipments.

Another popup should open and sum up the shipment for the order.

Click on Create Shipments or Create and Open the Shipments.

Once the shipment is created, a notification will be displayed:

If you have selected Create and Open the Shipments, this will open each shipment in a new window.

MSI Permissions for Magento 2 allows you to manage permissions of the sources for each one of the users registered in your Magento admin.

The extension gives you the possibility to restrict access to the sources for store managers. Thanks to the MSI Permissions extension, you will be able to restrict the access to:

the product pages: admin users will be able to change the quantities for the products assigned to the sources they manage.
the orders: store managers will have access to the invoices, the shipments, and the credit memos of the orders assigned to the sources they are in charge of and/or orders not assigned to any source yet.

Magento Open Source: previously Magento Community Edition (CE), is a free and non-hosted e-commerce platform.
Magento Commerce: previously Magento Enterprise (EE), is the paid version of Magento and offers support services.
Magento Commerce Cloud: is the paid version of Magento and offers support and hosting services.

License and domains

License validity

A license is valid for an unlimited period of time on one single installation

If you're using more than one installation, you will have to buy a separate license for each instance.
if you're running several domains on a same installation, you will need only one license for all of them.

Although your license doesn’t have a limited period of validity, your Support & Upgrade period does. By purchasing a module, you’ll be granted a 12-month support period for free. Passed this period, you will have to pay for a new one (see FAQ: Extend your Support period)

Domains pre-registration

You can pre-register your live domain to your license in advance.

Thanks to this option, you'll be able to get the module ready to use on your domain before it goes live.

To pre-register your production domain:

Go to:
mY accountLicenses & DOwnloads
Click on the Settings icon next to the module you want your domain to pre-register on.
Click on the link at the bottom of the page saying:
Do you want to pre-register your domain in order to be ready to go live?
Finally, enter your domain name and click on pre-register now .

Attention, this doesn't mean your license is activated. You'll still have to activate it on your new domain when the module is installed.

Testing environments

One license is valid for an unlimited period of time on one installation only. However, it is possible to extend or transfer your license in 2 cases:

If you would like to add your testing environments to your license.
In that case, it is possible to extend your license to an unlimited number of domains for free.
For mywebsite-staging.com or mywebsite-dev.com
If you want to transfer your license to another live domain.
In that case, the Support & Upgrade period for your license must still be active.

To be able to use MSI Suite on both your production and testing environments, follow the instructions below:

Download MSI Suite.
(see FAQ: Extensions download)
Install MSI Suite on your environment.
(see FAQ: Modules installation in Magento or in WooCommerce)
Activate the license.
(see FAQ: Licenses activation in Magento or in WooCommerce)

Also, if you are managing a large amount of domains, please contact us so that we can automatically whitelist these domains.

Modules versioning and download

Extensions download

In order to download MSI Suite, log into your Wyomind account:

Go to:
my accountLicenses & downloads
Click on the settings icon next to MSI Suite.

A new window opens.
Click on the download icon.

Only the latest extension version released within your Support & Upgrade period is available. In order to get the very latest extension version make sure your Support & Upgrade plan is up to date.

Modules upgrade

When purchasing a module from wyomind.com, you benefit from 12 months of upgrade. Within this period you can at any time download the latest version of the module directly from your account.

To upgrade MSI Suite, follow the steps below:

Go to:
my accountLicenses & Downloads
Click on the settings icon next to MSI Suite.
Click on the download icon.
Install the new version of MSI Suite in your Magento admin or your WooCommerce back-office.

Modules Installation/Uninstallation

Extensions manual installation

You can install MSI Suite manually.

Download MSI Suite (zip file) on:
mY ACCOUNTLicenses & Downloads

Refer to the FAQ: Extensions download
Once MSI Suite is downloaded, open the folder and unzip it.
Copy the content of the unzipped folder and paste all files and directories in your Magento 2 root directory.

In your Command Line Interface, execute:

bin/magento setup:upgrade

If you are using a production mode, execute also:

bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

bin/magento setup:di:compile

Extensions installation via Composer

You can install MSI Suite using Composer software in two cases:

if you purchased MSI Suite on Magento Marketplace.
if you purchased MSI Suite on Wyomind.com AND requested access to our repository:
repo.wyomind.com

Add to your composer configuration our repository:

composer config repositories.wyomind composer https://repo.wyomind.com

Execute Composer command:
```
composer require wyomind/
```
Then go in your Command Line Interface and execute:
```
bin/magento setup:upgrade 
```

If you are using a production mode, also execute:

bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

bin/magento setup:di:compile

Extensions uninstallation

To uninstall MSI Suite, start with disabling the extension running the following command:

bin/magento module:disable Wyomind_

Then, you have 2 ways to uninstall the extension depending on how the extension has been previously installed:

Manual installation

Run the -uninstall.sh file (you can find it in the extension zip folder) from your Magento root directory:
```
sh -uninstall.sh
```
Installation via Composer

Run the below command line:
```
composer remove wyomind/
```

Once the uninstallation is over, refresh your cache and enable the compiler back again (if you use it).

Extensions installation via Web Setup Wizard

You can install MSI Suite via Web Setup Wizard if you purchased it from Magento Marketplace only.

To know how to proceed, all steps are described in the link below:
http://docs.magento.com/m2/ce/user_guide/system/component-manager.html

Next step is to activate your license:
Extension activation

Modules activation

Extensions activation from the back-office of Magento^®

Once MSI Suite is installed, you have to activate the license. For previous versions, you can activate the license from your back-office:

Go to your Magento admin panel. A message pops up at the top of the page.
If the message doesn't appear then you must check that:

1. The Adminhtml_Notifications and Wyomind_Core modules are well enabled.
2. The HTML output of the Adminhtml_Notifications and Wyomind_Core modules are not disabled in:
storesconfigurationadvanced advanced
3. The encryption key well exists in app/etc/env.php:
```
<?php
 return array(
 'backend' => array(
 'frontName' => 'admin'
 ),
 'crypt' => array(
 'key' => '1e8f3c6772b7a6a6689c3c8cefa4ccf0'
 ),
 /* ... */
 )
?>
```
Copy your activation key in:
StoresConfigurationWyomind Your extension

You can find your activation key in 2 different places:
- In the confirmation email that you received after purchasing MSI Suite.
- In your Wyomind account:My account Licenses & downloads
Select MSI Suite and click on .

A new page opens where you'll find your activation key (see below).
In your Magento admin go to:
StoresConfigurationWyomind Your extension

Paste the activation key in the Activation Key field and choose between the automatic (yes) or the manual (no) activation method:
- By choosing Yes, the connection to Wyomind license server will be automatic.
- By choosing No, you will have to log on to Wyomind license server yourself.
Click on Save config .
A message appears at the top of your admin panel. Click on that link:
Activate it now!
Copy and paste the license code in the License code field from your admin or simply click on Activate now!
Finally, refresh your cache, log out and log in back straight after, to complete the installation.

When the extension includes other modules, repeat the steps described above for each one, using the corresponding activation keys (each module has its own activation key).

Add another domain to your license

To activate the license on another domain (test, staging...):

Once the extension is installed on the new domain, copy your activation key in:
StoresConfigurationWyomind Your extension
After having saved the configuration, a notification appears. Click on Add this domain to my license.
A transfer request will then be sent to our team within an hour.
Once the request is taken care of, you will receive a confirmation email.
If your transfer request is accepted, you can use MSI Suite on both environments at the same time.

Note that the order in which you activate your license on your domains does not matter. You can start with your staging/dev/local environment or with your live domain, the process will be the same.

Also, if you have loads of staging domains, or if you are an agency managing load of domains for your customers, please contact us so that we can automatically whitelist these domains.

Extensions activation from the CLI

Once MSI Suite is installed, you have to activate the license.

For this, you can use the below command line (change the Activation key with the corresponding value):

bin/magento wyomind:license:activate Wyomind_ <YOUR_ACTIVATION_KEY>

To retrieve the list of all the available modules as well as the licenses status, please use:

bin/magento wyomind:license:status

Among the different status, you can find:

registered = your license is registered
pending = you need to run the activation command line
invalidated = the license has been invalidated due to a wrong activation key or a license infringement

To activate several licenses at the same time, use:

bin/magento wyomind:license:activate \
Wyomind_Extension1,Wyomind_Extension2 \
ACTIVATION_KEY_1,ACTIVATION_KEY_2

or:

bin/magento wyomind:license:activate \
Extension1,Extension2 \
ACTIVATION_KEY_1,ACTIVATION_KEY_2

Check how to add another domain to your license.
