Overview
The standard set-up for inventory levels on the CIMcloud platform is to sync the inventory for each product and each warehouse from the ERP to table product_qty_in_stock. A system process (datamove) then rolls up the inventory to fields on the product to display. Without this feature and only base inventory in scope the site will display this rolled up inventory on each product. This feature allows users to additionally see a droplist with the inventory for each enabled warehouse (or datasetted warehouses if Datasets for Warehouses is enabled) . This droplist allows users to select the warehouse the product will ship from. The inventory display for each warehouse in the droplist follows the rules set up by the inventory display settings for the product as noted in Inventory Display Settings so actually inventory values will only display if enabled to show in the Inventory Display Settings for the product. If an inventory (item/warehouse stock availability) record does not exists for a particular warehouse for an item in the ERP it will not create a corresponding record in the CIMcloud database and nothing for that warehouse will display for that particular item. The overall Add to Cart enable/disable feature from the Inventory Display Settings still comes from the overall product inventory availability and not the selected warehouse. If you have negative availability on some warehouses you may need to have CIMcloud update the Import from the ERP to set these to zero versus the negative value to allow the droplist to still display for products with inventory if that is what is desired.
This feature is part of the Product Inventory Advanced Tools bundle and that bundle must be in scope to be able to enable/use this feature.
Additionally users will see the selected warehouse on the showcart page and be able to change the warehouse. If the selected warehouse needs to split the shipping so that the system breaks the order into different shipments, an additional bundle for splitting shipments will be required – Multiple Shipments Per Order
