Configure Allowed Statuses Settings (Inventory Status Constrains)

Hint

This section is part of the Inventory and Warehouse Management topic that provides a general understanding of the inventory and warehouse concepts.

You can control the way product inventory is displayed for your buyers (in the storefront) and sales people (in the back-office). Moreover, you can restrict adding products with particular inventory status to an RFQ, customer order, quote, or a shopping list.

To change the default inventory statuses:

1. Navigate to System > Configuration in the main menu.

2. Select Commerce > Inventory > Allowed Statuses in the menu to the left.

   Note

   For faster navigation between the configuration menu sections, use Quick Search.

   

3. Customize any of the options by clearing the Use Default box next to the option. Click on the inventory status to select/deselect it. Press Shift and click to select/deselect a range of items. Press Ctrl and click to select/deselect multiple items in no particular order.
