Copy an order to create a new order

Question

I want to create a new order from an existing order (customer address, cart products...etc) with a button "copy", Is it possible ?

Edit :

1) Imagine you have :

Order n°10001 Customer name : Magento, email : [email protected] ...etc Customer products : computer ASUS , speakers...

Now you want to have exactly the same order with the same customer and the same products BUT with a different n° of order :

Order n°10002 Customer name : Magento, email : [email protected] ...etc Customer products : computer ASUS , speakers...

So, first question : Is it possible ?

2) If yes, how can i do this ? i just don't know how to begin to do this in fact...

Answer 1

That's already a built in feature. The button is called "reorder" and you will find it next to each order in the customer account

Answer 2

Check the code in the backend for editing orders. When you edit an order, magento cancels the old one and creates a new one.

I found a very good example which create a quote and convert it to an order. It could help some of you : https://sohelrana09.wordpress.com/2011/09/15/trouble-creating-a-quoteorder-through-custom-code-programmatically-create-order-without-use-api/#comment-451
