Make Inventory Changes

You can modify a product’s inventory type. The fastest way to change the inventory type is from the Inventory > Pricing screen.

The system allows changes on inventory type as needed, but there are a few things that need to be considered when making these changes:

If the inventory type is changed from S (Standing order) to M (Open market), the system will delete the customer to whom the items were assigned previously, as well as the mark code previously added.
If the inventory type is changed from P (Prebook) to M (Open market), the system will delete both the customer and the mark code previously assigned.

Administrators can enable system warnings to company users when changing the inventory type to Open Market (M).

To enable this warning, do the following steps:

Go to Setup and select Settings.
Click on the Inventory Options from the Inventory group of settings.
Check the Don't warn the user when changing the inventory type to the Open Market option.
Click Save.
