Product stock question

[Names]

Most of my products are manufactured and don't need any stock management, But a few will need that functionality.

 

As far as I can tell I have to add a fictitious stock number to all of these products?

 

Or is there a way to turn it off and on per product?

 

How should I set this up??

 

Thanks!!!!

Hello

What about:

Back office 》 Preferences 》 Products 》 Allow ordering out-of-stock products 》 Yes

[vekia]

you can define stock for certain products only

on product edit page open "quantities" tab

you can define there quantities of product, and you can define quantity only for certain products from your catalog.

 

For all other products define "default" as third option

 

then use option mentioned by Paul above :-)

Ok, I have been allowing orders of out of stock items.

 

How should I deal with "status" to not say "On Backorder"

 

Just disable it on statuses page? Or another way?

 

Thanks again, !!

looking for the same answer

I'd like to skip "on backorder" status..

 

eg

customer makes an order of items, which are not on stock

 

1) if it is bankwire payment method, the order will be set as "payment awaiting"

2) if it is COD method, it will get to "preparation in progress"

 

any idea how to do it?
