bullywug Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Good morning, Our site has been up and running for several years now. We have been specifying quantities manually for inventory but it's getting quite cumbersome to update and we may be adding another warehouse soon so I thought I'd do some research on the advanced stock managment feature of Prestashop however I am still unclear on some issues. The first is, how to enable advanced stock managment for all of my items without having to go through one product at a time. I can't find anything about this so I'm not sure if there's some reason the products must be entered one at a time or if I'm just missing something. The second question I had is related to us being open for several years running Prestashop with the manual stock management. When we swtich to advanced stock managment, what's going to happen to the quantities that were already entered for the manual stock entry? Will stock be carried over into the warehouse or is this something that will have to be done manually. Also, if there's manual stock and I enable advanced stock managment, will it cause any difficulties with inventory tracking? I think that's it for now. Any advice you could give is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Charles Angerstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullywug Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 I've still not been able to find the answers to these questions. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie.ga Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I am in the same boat; the documentation provided by prestashop isn't much help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullywug Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yeah, it's a complex feature and it's poorly documented. I am suprised no one from Prestashop responded to this thread since it's a very simple request. They're usually really good about responding to direct, non-technical requests like this but maybe no one knows how to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajensen27 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Very much interested in this too. I want to switch to the advanced stock management system but not all at once since it will probably take days or even weeks to complete. I switched one product over today and when someone purchased that product along with another product that is still in manual stock mode, it split the order into 2 orders. Is there any way to avoid this? If I have both advanced stock management and manual stock management selected for a product, and inventory entered for that product in both the products quantities tab along with the stock management, will stock from both places be affected? So lets say I have 5 stock in the manual quantities box, and 5 in the stock management system for that same product and someone purchases 1 of these items, will both areas now show 4 or will only the manual quantities be affected? Would love for both areas to be drawn from while I am switching over to the stock management system. Any help or insight is appreciated! Thanks!

The stock #'s in the advanced stock don't change. This is a bummer. Can someone please come up with a solution for how you switch to advanced stock management without your orders splitting because a customer ordered a product with physical stock and one using advanced stock before you could get every product moved over to advanced stock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
