Hello,

In Tools & Reports=> Bulk Edit Costs Tool.=>Manage stock: Stock update methodIgnored unless “Manage stock” checkbox is enabled above. Possible values: Update product meta; Use product functions.

What is difference between values :

-Update product meta
and
-Use product functions

I don’t see difference action.

thanks

Hi Tony,

This is only a technical difference regarding how the stock will be updated. “Use product functions” uses $product->set_stock_quantity() method while “Update product meta” uses update_post_meta() function.
