how do i prevent that the stock go negative

[brianronnow]

Hello

I just taken over a clients site from another.
Now my client say that someone has given a order, and the stock did go in -1.

How do i prevent that is is possible to order more then there is in stock?

[GJC Web Design]

VM admiin->shop front -> Action when a Product is Out of Stock

[brianronnow]

Here were the stock 1 and the customer order 2 or more.

Is it possible to get a notification that the stock is not full?

[GJC Web Design]

In the latest versions it should not be possible to order more than the stock if configured correctly

But u don't mention versions, template or any modifications

[brianronnow]

Oh sorry..
The installation has VirtueMart 3.4.2

[Jörgen]

Maybe more exact VM version 3.4.2.xxx

Template overrides php version ?

Settings for stock ?

Hello Jörgen

As i have been told there is no template override, but that i have to confirm

Stetting is in Danish, so im not sure you will understand it

Hard to see in your text but it seems you have ticked:

Produkter der ikke er på lager kan fortsat bestilles, uden der
     

This should explain overselling.

untick stockhandling on product level, se the description why.

Stockhandling will be set for EVERY product, not good for performance.

i just dont understand why there can be ordered 2 item, if only one is in stock, shouldn't there be an notification of that?

[Jörgen]

• If You allow negative stock this is possible.
• Who should get the notification ? Customer, Vendor ? What do You think should happen ?

If You allow overselling, you will get negative stock.
When You handle the order, You will notice that stock is empty.
If You want more actions, You will have to customize Your template. I have done so for myself. Olympian themes have now preorder option in their themes.
