Can I use WildCard SKUs in One Stop Order Processing?

The following guide explains how to use WildCard SKUs in One Stop Order Processing.

This feature is available in the Professional, Premium and Managed subscriptions of One Stop Order Processing.

WildCard SKUs allow you to manage your stock of an item even if it has many variants with each variant altering the SKU.
For Example, if you sell custom made black t-shirts and each custom made t-shirt has a different SKU, you could use WildCard SKUs to manage stock based on just 1 part of the SKU by replacing the variants characters with '?'

So the following SKUs would look like this...

BLK- CATS -M  would change to BLK- ???? -M
BLK- DOGS -Mwould change to BLK-???? -M

.. this means that One Stop Order Processing would reduce or manage stock based on the fact that it is a Black t-shirt (BLK) and in a size medium (M) rather than the variant.

How to set up WildCard SKUs in One Stop Order Processing-

1. Ensure the option 'Use wildcards in product SKUs (use ? to mean any character in Order Type SKUs)' is ticked.
You can find these options by Clicking Tools-> Options-> Click the 'Other' tab



2. Click the 'Product Management' button (The button that looks like a file with 3 blue boxes on)



3. Either create a new product by clicking 'new' or double click an existing product.


4. Click the 'Order Type SKUS' tab of the product.




5. Enter a new order type SKU



6.Click OK

To Note - It must only be the variant that changes to show '?' not the while SKU and the amount of characters must be directly proportional to the number of '?'.
