"When out of stock field"

[Guest]

When importing products via CSV what should field"When out of stock:" be? Boolean? Because it has three values in BO

 

Or should it be text - in which case what?

"When out of stock" is the text you want to display in the product page when you have no stock.

Thanks, but not quite right I think

 

In the product upload section the fields available are:

 

Text when in-stock

Text if back-order allowed

Available for order

 

In BO they are called

 

 

Displayed text when in-stock:

Displayed text when allowed to be back-ordered:

When out of stock:

 

So When out of stock can have values in BO of "Allow" "Deny" or "Default: Deny orders (as set in Preferences)"

 

These are radio buttons.

 

I am guessing Available for order=When out of stock:

 

So that when I upload via CSV I can automatically set whether the product can accept back orders or not

 

So in the upload CSV should I use: "Allow" "Deny" or "Default: Deny orders (as set in Preferences)"

Looks like I am confused

 

I now think the field in the CSV upload does not relate to "When out of stock" as part of the allow / disallow back orders, but is in fact part of the Global Product Information sections (See pic - top tight hand side)

 

Which leads me to two questions

 

1) What does "Available to order" do? I cannot find any info about this

2) Is it possible to set on a per product basis by CSV upload enable or disable the back order system

 

Anyone?
