Enabling Inventory Management
PRODUCT INFORMATION > ADMINISTRATION
You can enable Inventory Management so that you can track inventory statuses by individual fulfillment location. The inventory status can be calculated based on current quantities or based on defined schedules.
When Inventory Management is enabled you can track the inventory considered as available to sell by using the following statuses: In Stock, Out OF Stock, Pre Order, or Back Order. Inventory can only be tracked for a physical location.
Inventory locations stored in the Orckestra Commerce Cloud solution are not associated with a scope in any way. The inventory location is linked to fulfillment only for the purpose of tracking inventory.
Inventory Management settings are not visible or available in the Settings > Administration > Stores panel when Inventory Management is disabled in the Product Information > Administration panel.
