One address, the same everywhere.
Maintain locations once, use them everywhere
Dealer map, Click & Collect, warehouses – they all work with the same location data. The Location Framework brings branches, pickup points and warehouses together in one central place and provides them to all OPAL modules: maintained once, up to date and consistent everywhere.
What this OPAL does for you
One address, maintained once: branches, pickup points and warehouses live in one place – no duplicate entries, no conflicting address data.
One location, several roles: the same branch can appear on the map, serve as a pickup point and act as a warehouse at the same time – without being created more than once.
Switch off a role, keep the location: a type of use can be ended – for example, no more pickups in Berlin – without deleting the location.
These OPALs use the Location Framework
The Location Framework is the shared foundation – these OPALs build on it and use the same locations:
Part of the OPAL family
OPALs are building blocks from OXID eSales: a proven foundation that is adapted to your IT landscape and integrated into your store.
Features at a glance
OXID
<OPAL/>
Central location management in the admin area
Locations with name, address (country selected from a list instead of free text), optional geo-coordinates for the map, opening hours, additional info, active and visibility status, and sort order – with an overview list by name, city, roles and status.
Several roles per location
A location can have several roles at once – branch, pickup point, warehouse. Which roles are available depends on the installed modules; you assign or remove them individually per location without affecting the others.
Multilingual content
Name, opening hours and additional info can be maintained per language – using the standard OXID translation, with a fallback to the base language if a translation is missing.
Internal locations stay out of sight
A visibility flag keeps internal locations such as warehouses manageable without showing them in the storefront. Only what is meant to be visible externally is delivered.
Protection against accidental deletion
If a location still has data from a module attached – such as completed Click & Collect orders – it is protected from deletion. In the admin area you can see which modules still need it.
Orphaned references visible and confirmed
References from a module that has since been removed are flagged as "orphaned". A location with such references can only be deleted after explicit confirmation – no silent data loss when uninstalling.
Who is this OPAL for?
Partners / agencies
Your clients use several location features – dealer map, pickup, warehouses – and maintain the same addresses multiple times.
How it helps
You create the locations once, centrally; the individual modules (Store & Dealer Map, Click & Collect …) access them through a stable interface. One address, one source – your modules stay decoupled and work with the same, consistent data.
