Don’t reduce inventory when creating a quote

Hi @chadreitsma

Sliced Invoices doesn’t have any stock keeping feature. If you are using WooCommerce stock management is handled entirely by WooCommerce. It may be adjustable in the WooCommerce settings, but we’re not 100% sure. Maybe WooCommerce has some hook where you can tell it to reduce stock only for certain order statuses… for example to make it ignore the order when the status is “quote”.

Thanks in advance,

Ah, that makes sense. I think I have seen that filter before, I’ll do some more digging. Appreciate the reply/direction!

Cheers,

No problem @chadreitsma!

Hi @chadreitsma,
Did you find the solution; I’m looking for the same thing.
It seem logical not to discount stock for a quote.
Thanks,
Ana

Hi Ana,

I have solved this by restoring the stock levels of the order IF the order transitions from the “pending” status to the “quote” status (as it does when you manually create an order/quote in the admin panel).

This assumes you are letting WooCom manage your stock – as woocom will automatically reduce stock when you save the order, this will restore the stock levels as it transitions from the Pending -> Quote status.

It will also reduce the stock levels if you then transition the Quote status to invoice. You can adjust the logic as needed….

Add this to your child-theme’s functions.php file to test:

add_action('woocommerce_order_status_changed', 'inet_order_status_changed', 10, 4);
function inet_order_status_changed($order_id, $status_transition_from, $status_transition_to, $order) {
    
    //If transitioning from pending to quote, woocom already subtracted stock, restore it...
    if ($status_transition_from == "pending" && $status_transition_to == "quote") {
        foreach ($order->get_items() as $item_id => $item) {
            $product = $item->get_product();
            $qty = $item->get_quantity(); // Get the item quantity
            wc_update_product_stock($product, $qty, 'increase');
            $order->add_order_note( 'Stock levels restored for Quote.' );
        } 
    }
    
    //If transitioning from quote to invoice, we restored the stock using the function above - so now we have to reduce it again!
    if ($status_transition_from == "quote" && $status_transition_to == "invoice") {
        foreach ($order->get_items() as $item_id => $item) {
            $product = $item->get_product();
            $qty = $item->get_quantity(); // Get the item quantity
            wc_update_product_stock($product, $qty, 'decrease');
            $order->add_order_note( 'Stock levels reduced for Quote->Invoice transition.' );
        } 
    }   
}

Hi Chad @chadreitsma,
Many many thanks!!
It has worked perfectly
I’m very grateful!
Cheers,

Ana

@anoni
Happy to help!

I just realized my code will create multiple “Notes” if you have multiple items in the order. To fix that just move the $order->add_order_note line outside of the foreach loop.
