Unique Stock Records

A Unique Stock Record is a sub Variant; it is a Variant to which Customisations have been applied. 

A Unique Stock Record is also known as a USR

It will inherit all characteristics of the parent Variant, except that it will also show the linked Customisations.

These may be used just for Stock Management and order fulfilment, or as a way of listing specific products for sale.

These are managed via the Inventory tab, and may either be created there, or when a product with Customisations is added to a Purchase Order.

Unless a Unique Stock Record is marked as enabled, its selling price will not be used in the POS, eCommerce or CMS. Instead, the default price of the Variant will be used

Unless a Unique Stock Record is marked as enabled, its cost price will not be used in the POS, eCommerce or CMS. Instead, the default price of the Variant will be used. 

It is not possible to manually create a USR for a Variant with the same options as a USR for that Variant which already exists

My Unique Stock Record is marked as disabled for eCommerce - will its stock be used?

While free stock of an enabled USR will show to the customer as 'in stock', free stock relating to a disabled USR will not, and the customer will see a default lead time for the parent Variant. However, if a customer does purchase a Variant and select a combination of Customisations which match  an existing USR with free stock, then that stock will be automatically allocated to that Sales Order Line regardless of USR status.
