Store Stock

Stores and Locations

In IXO Commerce, stock is managed at the Store level, with each Store potentially having multiple Locations.

Each Location can be set to one of the following statuses:

Units of Stock

Date Received: When the stock was added to the system (typically the date it was received on a Purchase Order)
