Posting New order without triggering stock movement

[dawidKaz]

Hello,

Is it possible to create an order via the Webservice API without decreasing the inventory? The use case is that, for accounting purposes, I would like to post orders whose inventory is managed outside of PrestaShop.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Yes, it's typically possible to create an order via a web service API without decreasing inventory, depending on the specific capabilities of the API and the configuration of your system.

In PrestaShop, for example, you might be able to achieve this by setting up your web service integration to bypass inventory management. This would require customizing your API integration to either ignore inventory levels entirely or to mark the order as a non-inventory affecting transaction.

However, keep in mind that this approach can have implications for reporting and reconciliation between your PrestaShop system and your external inventory management system. Make sure to carefully consider how you'll handle these aspects to ensure accurate accounting records.

Have a nice day.
