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.

Important

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.
