Getting an item out of stock

A stock item might sometimes have to be (temporarily) exited from stock for several reasons, which Blue Chameleon handles with the help of four buttons :

  • Image z_Lost : the item cannot be found ;
  • Image z_Out_of_order : it might not be suitable to be ordered, for whichever reason (needs fixing,...) ;
  • Image z_Internal_usage : it might not be ordered anymore but rather used within your company ;
  • Image z_Unknown : it has to be exited for whichever reason ;

These buttons are available at both the Search In Stock Page and the Stock Details Page only if item is in stock.

The process is the same for the four operations :

Figure 3.37: Taking a stock item out of stock (not irreversibly), from four possible causes.

After a click on any of these buttons, the stock item will get the eponymous status ('lost', 'out of order', 'internal usage', 'unknown') .Those four operations are reversible as the item can still be returned.

Reparation of a stock item also works the same way.
