    I need a quick way to be able to create a master detail form for Sales Orders. I know that i can use pods to create that and if i cant find another way i will dive into that, but i need a quick way to get up and running. Any forms plugin that can do this?

    Functionalities:

    • Enter a Sales Order (1 header , multiple lines).
    • Some fields should be populated from database or from somewhere that i could easily refresh them (e.g. customers, products).
    • Ability to export the data and email them.
    • Ability to edit the data and resend, if needed.

    I want to avoid making it from scratch in VueJS where i usually develop , hence my preference not to be in pods cause if i start customizing a lot i will revert to Vue.

    Can some form plugin provide the above?

    I don’t quite understand what you’re getting at? Is it about selling products? Then a store plugin like WooCommerce would probably be the right choice. Or are you looking for some kind of request form where you can send a request for a service?

    @threadi I need to build up fast a form that i want to give out to some salesperson in order to enter the sales orders directly and not writing on paper. So i need something to be simple enough to not scare them and for them to be able to enter the customer and product details.

    Customers and Products should be populated from an export that i will regularly do from our SAP ERP.

    When they save the order i need an email to be sent with details to someone.

    Sounds to me like the requirements for a form. This should be realizable with WPForms or Ninjaforms:

    The only challenge is updating products in a selection field. But especially with WPForms, I’m sure there are hooks for that. If, as it sounds, you develop it yourself, you should be able to have one of the form builders do a lot of the work for you, but you should still be able to customize smaller details yourself. Because this is actually a very individual requirement that you have, there will be nothing ready-made for it. But it is possible as written by combining different things.

    @threadi Thank you. Yes it seems that some minor code would have to be written. I will compare the effort to creating a small Vue app for that , and will decide.
