Magento – Observer for Admin while creating an order

customevent-observermodule

Is it possible to have an observer while making an order in the admin panel?

I'm trying to change the 'purchased from' depending on which customer group the customer is in. So if a customer is in the wholesale group, they would be purchasing from the wholesale storeview. Obviously this can be done manually but I'm trying to cut out human error.

For example, an admin would select a customer during order creation (this triggers the event) which in turn change the store view to the appropriate one.

There are main two events available for admin order in Magento 2

adminhtml_sales_order_create_process_data_before
adminhtml_sales_order_create_process_data

1. adminhtml_sales_order_create_process_data_before

app/code/Magento/Sales/Controller/Adminhtml/Order/Create.php

$this->_eventManager->dispatch('adminhtml_sales_order_create_process_data_before', $eventData);

2. adminhtml_sales_order_create_process_data

app/code/Magento/Sales/Controller/Adminhtml/Order/Create.php

$this->_eventManager->dispatch('adminhtml_sales_order_create_process_data', $eventData);

Other admin order related events

admin_sales_order_address_update

app/code/Magento/Sales/Controller/Adminhtml/Order/AddressSave.php

adminhtml_sales_order_creditmemo_register_before

app/code/Magento/Sales/Controller/Adminhtml/Order/CreditmemoLoader.php

sales_convert_order_to_quote

app/code/Magento/Sales/Model/AdminOrder/Create.php

sales_convert_order_item_to_quote_item

app/code/Magento/Sales/Model/AdminOrder/Create.php

checkout_submit_all_after

app/code/Magento/Sales/Model/AdminOrder/Create.php

EDIT:

You can also do the following, which I would recommend over the previous solution I posted. Mostly because it doesn't use setPost, which I would consider scary.

config.xml:

<adminhtml>
  <events>
    <sales_order_status_history_save_before>
      <observers>
        <module_status_history_save_before>
          <class>module/observer</class>
          <method>commentSaveBefore</method>
        </module_status_history_save_before>
      </observers>
    </sales_order_status_history_save_before>
  </events>
</adminhtml>

Observer.php:

public function commentSaveBefore($obs) {
    $event = $obs->getEvent();
    $status = $event->getDataObject();
    $status->setComment($status->getComment().$this->_getAppend());
}

protected function _getAppend()
{
    $admin = Mage::getSingleton('admin/session')->getUser();
    $username = $admin->getUsername();
    return " : " . $username;
}

This would accomplish the same thing, except you're intercepting the model before it gets saved, allowing you to alter the comment without having to use setPost().

Original Post: You could do the following:

config.xml:

<adminhtml>
    <events>
        <controller_action_predispatch_adminhtml_sales_order_addComment>
            <observers>
                <module_order_save_comment>
                    <class>module/observer</class>
                    <method>adminhtmlSavingOrderComment</method>
                </module_order_save_comment>
            </observers>
        </controller_action_predispatch_adminhtml_sales_order_addComment>
    </events>
</adminhtml>

Observer.php:

public function adminhtmlSavingOrderComment($obs) {
    $event = $obs->getEvent();
    $order = $event->getOrder();
    $data = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getPost('history');
    if ($data && isset($data['comment'])) {
        $data['comment'] .= $this->_getAppend();
        Mage::app()->getRequest()->setPost('history', $data);
    }
}

protected function _getAppend()
{
    $admin = Mage::getSingleton('admin/session')->getUser();
    $username = $admin->getUsername();
    return " : " . $username;
}

This should work for you.
