Manage Inventory with Granular Control in WooCommerce: Admin Order Options with Stock Triggers Pro #
Stock management in your WooCommerce store requires precision. Stock Triggers Pro takes it a step further by offering the “Admin Order Options” section, allowing you to refine stock adjustments based on your actions within the WooCommerce admin interface
Adjusting Stock on Order Creation #
The “Adjust line item product stock” section empowers you to control when stock levels are affected by order creation #
- Enable: Activate this option to manage stock based on chosen order statuses.
- Order Statuses: Select the order statuses (e.g., Pending payment, Refunded) that will trigger stock adjustments when you create new orders.
- (Note: We recommend disabling Processing, On hold, and Completed for automatic stock changes as these can be managed through the “Admin new order” option).
- Important: The free version of Stock Triggers Pro allows selecting pre-defined statuses only. Upgrading to the Pro version unlocks the ability to use custom order statuses.
Admin New Order Stock Control #
The “Admin new order” section provides even more control over stock adjustments when manually creating orders #
- Default Action: Choose the default action (Increase or Decrease) applied to stock when you create a new order and a chosen order status is triggered.
- Increase/Decrease: Override the default action and adjust stock levels for individual line items within an order.
- Pro Tip: Utilize the “Decrease” option for scenarios like processing returned items or fulfilling canceled orders. Conversely, use “Increase” for pre-orders or backorders that require stock availability upon payment confirmation. https://wpfactory.com/item/stock-triggers-for-woocommerce/
Bulk Stock Updates #
The “Bulk actions” section streamlines stock adjustments for multiple products #
- Enable: Activate this option to add “Decrease Stock” and “Increase Stock” options to the bulk actions dropdown menu in the admin orders list. This allows you to efficiently adjust stock for a group of products at once.
Advanced Options #
The “Advanced Options” section provides additional functionalities #
- Debug: Enable this to create a log file in WooCommerce > Status > Logs for troubleshooting purposes (useful for developers).
- Reset Settings: This button resets all settings within the “Admin Order Options” section to their defaults.
