Hi everybody,

I need some advices on the best method, modules to build a website for an association. First, i'd like to describe the association and it's needs :

We have some groups of 30 to 40 people who order each week a basket of vegetables, millk, meat ... directly from one or more producers. Each month, everybody transfers money on the association's bank account. During the week, the list of available products is published and everybody places his order.

For now, we have spreadsheets shared on Googledocs to manage orders and finances, leading to mistakes and complications.

I'd like to build a website to make the process smoother and easier with the help of Drupal and something like e-commerce or Ubercart.

Do you have any advice on how you would build a shop where :
- people can simply fill-up their shopping carts,
- confirm the order without needing a payment
- the responsibles could do a follow-up with an invoice for each basket and one for each producer

I'm aware it's not crystal clear and I'm still working my english :)

I allready tried Ubercart which looks perfect but needs a payment method to change orders statuses and can't print a resume of all ordered products by producers (taxonomy term)

Thanks allready for your help !

You should be able to make a list of all products by producers using a custom view with the views module.

As for different payment methods, can't you use the Purchase Order payment method? Are you sure you can't just use the check method, and then clear the order out via the admin. interface? IIRC, this is possible.

Thanks for your reply mradcliffe. I just found a solution to that part of the problem with an ubercart module (bulk order operation).
I played a bit vith views for the list but not enough yet to find a solution. It seems like it can find and filter orders but not the details inside these orders...

Also remember that nothing will require you to turn on the payment module during checkout. You can update order statuses however you want using Conditional Actions. Also, have you tried my UC Ordered Products Reports module? It's not exactly what you're looking for, but it might be close.
