    Hello,

    We have a specific need for inventory management and tracking and would like to know if WooCommerce, or another extension compatible with WooCommerce, could meet this need. This requirement is essentially the last step in publishing our online store with WooCommerce.

    To put you in context, we are a company that works in landscaping and the sale of plants and products related to horticulture.

    We use the same stocks to make our landscaping and to sell to our customers. We would like to manage a single inventory that takes into account its two activities. For each of our products, we need a specific amount for landscaping. Therefore, any higher quantity may be available for sale on our online shop.

    For example, for Article A, we need a minimum of 10 for landscaping. If we have more than 10, all that is superior may be available for sale online (so if we have 15, only 5 will be available to be purchased online), otherwise, we would like the product to be listed as unavailable/out of stock on the customer side, but it is possible for us to see the actual remaining quantity.

    An individual out-of-stock threshold control functionality for each product would seem like a simple solution, such as for the low stock threshold.

    We thank you in advance for your responses.

    Bonjour,

    Nous avons un besoin précis en matière de gestion et suivi d’inventaire et nous aimerions savoir si WooCommerce, ou une autre extension compatible avec WooCommerce pourrait y répondre. Ce besoin constitue essentiellement la dernière étape pour publier notre boutique en ligne avec WooCommerce.

    Pour vous mettre en contexte, nous sommes une entreprise qui ?uvre dans l’aménagement paysager et la vente de plantes et de produits reliés à l’horticulture.

    Nous utilisons les mêmes stocks pour réaliser nos aménagements paysagers et pour vendre à notre clientèle. Nous aimerions gérer un seul inventaire qui prend en compte ses deux activités. Pour chacun de nos produits, nous avons besoin d’une quantité précises destinée à l’aménagement paysager. Donc, toute quantité supérieure peut être disponible pour la vente sur notre boutique en ligne.

    Par exemple, pour l’article A, nous avons besoin d’un minimum de 10 pour l’aménagement paysager. Si nous en avons plus de 10, tout ce qui est supérieur pourra être disponible pour la vente en ligne (donc si nous en avons 15, seulement 5 seront disponibles pour être achetés en ligne), dans le cas contraire, nous souhaitons que le produit soit inscrit comme non disponible/rupture de stock du c?té client, mais qu’il soit possible pour nous de voir la quantité réelle restante.

    Une fonctionnalité de contr?le individuel du seuil de rupture de stock pour chaque produit semblerait la solution toute simple, tel que pour le seuil de stock faible.

    Nous vous remercions d’avance pour vos réponses.

  • Hello,

    We use the same stocks to carry out our landscaping and to sell to our customers

    That sounds like there are 2 sales channels, one is the website. Please correct me if this is not correct.

    When editing a product under the inventory tab, you can enable Manage stock, that will allow the Low stock threshold feature. Kindly note that the more quantity products to update, the more time you will need.

    The general low stock threshold is under WooCommerce > Settings > Products > inventory low stock threshold.

    Let us know if there are any questions.

    Hello

    Thank you for your reply. Indeed, we have two sales channels. These are the same products for each of its channels and it is essential that our inventories communicate and that we know in real time the quantity available for each of our products.
    In fact, we know that it is possible to adjust the low stock threshold individually for each product. Unfortunately, this function does not meet our need.

    Ideally, this individual function should also be applied to the stock-out threshold. That it be possible to control it individually for each of the products and not only globally. As, the option does not seem to be available yet, we would like to know if another solution could help us.

    We need to be able to list our total quantity of stock but limit the quantity available for purchase. For example, for item X, we have a total of 10, however we want to reserve 6, so only 4 are available for sale online. So on our side we see the total quantity of 10 but on the customer side only 4 are available. Ideally, we’d like the item to be hidden from the store when it reaches the out-of-stock threshold.

    In summary, we need a functionality that allows us to register the actual quantity of our stocks and the quantity available for sale online (which may be different from the actual quantity of stock).

    Does WooCommerce offer a feature that could help us or an plugin compatible with WooCommerce?

    Hi @laurencejodoint,

    WooCommerce allows you to manage the stock in general. You can set Out Of Stock Threshold and Out Of Stock Visibility for all the product in WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Inventory Get to know more about it here:

    https://woocommerce.com/document/configuring-woocommerce-settings/#products-inventory-options

    However, you can consider the plugin Custom Stock Status which enables more setting to manage your stock.

    Best,
