How to manage inventory and warehouse information for a product

Purpose

You want to know how to manage inventory and warehouse information for shippable products in your GetPaid store.

Prerequisities

• Installation of GetPaid (0.6+)
• Configuration of some content types to be "shippable"
  
• Setup of getpaid.warehouse in your site
• Add at least one warehouse (on GetPaid setup > Warehouses)
  

Step by step

Set your product as shippable

    To be able to have inventory information on your product you need it first to be shippable. If the content type is set as shippable in the getpaid configuration upon creation of the product you should see an option to make you product item shippable (or any equivalent status provided in your custom site that makes the item shippable). Once you change the status, you will see (if logged and have edit permissions) two new tabs in the item's menu: Payable and Inventory.

The Inventory tab contains all the information about warehouses and availabilities of the current item. Click on that to to find the following fields. Set these fields to start managing inventory:

Warehouse location information:

  Pick Bin, Pallet: These two make reference to the location of the items in your warehouse, they are required but can contain a 0 value, you are not required to use them both if any but can be useful for internal organization.

Stock related:

  Quantity in Stock: The physically available amount of items at the moment.

  Quantity Available For Sale: The amount of items minus the orders placed for them (This is only an informative field, you can't edit it)

Warehouse:

When you are done adding the information, hit "Apply".

Now that your information is set, purchases on the site will result in changes in the quantity available.
