I need to create manual(Admin) order, without the products present in the website, I mean order create for not available products in website. How to achieve using any custom options?

Best Answer

  1. Create a simple product under Catalog->Manage Products
  2. Choose a generic name for the product like "Custom Item" and set some Price (it does not matter)
  3. In section "Custom Options" Add New Option
  4. Set Input Type to Text Field and name it "Name" or "Product Name"
  5. Set Price to 0.0, Fixed, empty SKU and is Required to Yes
  6. After saving the product create new Order at Sales->Orders
  7. Push "Add Products" and add newly created product to the order
  8. When adding a product you will see a button "configure" where you can set the actual name of item to order
  9. To change the price simply click on checkbox "Custom Price"
  10. Voila!

Adding generic order items is dirty. I do not recommend to use this workflow, if you wish clean sales reports
