Tips

  • Use this when you need to quickly mark a batch of products as out of stock — for example, during a supplier delay.
  • Enable Allow backorders for products you can still fulfill even when stock reads zero (e.g., made-to-order items).
  • This action sets the status flag — it doesn’t change the actual stock quantity. Use Update Stock to adjust quantities.
