Low & Out of Stock Items – Low Priority

    The “Low” and “Out of Stock” figures in the dashboard WooCommerce section could be useful, but that is blurred because they record the variation stock levels as well.

    For example, a product with variations and these statuses:

    Single Items 350
Strands 10
5 Strands 2
10 Strands 1

    Would record 2 low stock warnings (assume threshhold set at ‘2’).

    While this status:

    Single Items 315
Strands 9
5 Strands 1
10 Strands 0

    would record 1 low and 1 out of stock.

    I can clearly see the rationale for this, but is there anyway I can amend these two metrics to only look at a core stock level, in my case the ‘Single Items’ or ‘Strands’ variation?

    I don’t follow your logic – what do you mean by ‘core stock level’?

    I’ll try and explain.

    Some products are available as loose beads and strands, whilst others are only sold on strands. My scripts look at the number of beads/strands and calculates how many of each variation we could sell.

    So a product with, say, 99 beads in stock, at 10 to the strand, could be sold as either 99 beads, 9 strands, 1 x 5 strands but 0 x 10 strands.

    At the moment the 5 strand variation would be listed as ‘low stock’ and the 10 strand variation as “out of stock”.

    At present, on 3000 odd products I have over 3600 showing as ‘out of stock’ (mainly because there is in-sufficient stock to fulfil the larger variations) and I am exploring whether it is possible to suppress the ‘low’ and ‘out of stock’ messages for those products where we are still carrying stocks of either ‘Single Items’ or ‘Strands’.

    Not sure what to suggest there, except for replacing the ‘is in stock’ functions with your own which takes this into consideration.

    Ok. Thanks Mike.

    I’ll take a look.
