Hi everyone my name is Melinda with IWD Agency and
today i'm going to show you how to manage your
inventory in Magento we also have other videos in our IWD
database so be sure to go and check those out too
so managing inventory magento first you want to start off in your
magento dashboard after you log in then we're going to
come all the way to the left hand side and click on stores after you click on
stores you're going to go right under settings
to the top left hand corner and then you're going to click on
configuration once you click on configuration it's
going to take you to the next screen where we're going to
collapse the general so we'll click this arrow
that points up and with collapse general we'll click on
catalog and then we'll scroll down and we'll click on inventory so
the third one down
and wait for that to load so once that loads i'm gonna collapse
stock option so i can show you the different options um
the two inventory management options that we're going to focus on
are stock options and product options so the first one we're going to look at
is stock options so we're going to expand
the very first one by clicking the downward arrow and then you'll see
the different options here for stock options so in order to
change any of the stock options you want to
come over to the right and then uncheck
the check mark where the options all show
so you can manage your stock when order is placed by clicking yes or
no the next one is set item status to be in
stock when order is canceled so you want to make sure that the item
goes back into stock when someone cancels an order um
you can display the out-of-stock product so you can
show it on your website or you can keep it hidden by clicking yes or no
and so only x left threshold um
this option adds an expression to all of your products
so the system will give it a load when only
x amount of products are left in stock so this is a great tool to use
if you want to put a sense of urgency on your product so let's say
once all products only have five left in stock
then your customers will um have a sense of urgency to purchase that
product immediately and the next one is
display product availability in stockholm storefronts you can
show how many products you have or you can choose to not show
and then you can automatically synchronize inventory data according to
the catalog changes you can choose yes or no
so after you know with that you can collapse it and we'll
go to the next one and then click the downward arrow that says
product stock options so once you click that we're going to do the same thing
uncheck the system values for the options that
you'd like to change within your inventory
so for the first one um you can manage your stock yes or no
we'll leave that as yes and then backwards so for this one you
can allow back orders for products that are out of stock if
you'd like most stores probably don't do this because um the options are
there in order to help um in order of how much stock you have
so we can leave that as no and then how many maximum
products can someone add to their card so we can leave that as at 10 000
and then you can put in an out of stock threshold
and then here you can put minimum quantity allowed in the shopping cart so
you can change this option for different groups so let's say
wholesalers in order to get a wholesale price you have to buy
a thousand products and then you can say general and the minimum quantity allowed
in a shopping cart is one
and then you can do that for different groups and if
you don't want any of those you can just hit the little trashcan button
and delete it so on notify for quantity below so you can
get a notification um if your inventory hits
below a certain quantity so we can put this at
10 for all products and then enable able plot quantity increments you can
get yes or no and then automatically return credit
memo item to stock okay yes or no once you're done
configuring you want to come up to the top right and
click the big orange button that says save
configuration
wait for that to finish saving and sometimes it may take a little while
depending on how many changes you made and then to the top left in the yellow
highlighted area you'll see you save the configuration
there you have it now you know how to manage your inventory in magento
