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.
