Syncing WooCommerce stock with calculated stock via CRON

wolfl

Hi,

Is it possible to run the Woocommerce stock syncing function (in Tools) automatically/periodically?

You can obviously set up a CRON for the products' calculated properties already, but updating the Woocommerce stock seems essential too. Am I missing this option somewhere?

Hi wolfl ,

Thanks for your post.

Unfortunately, there isn't an option in Settings where you can disable the automatic synchronization of the WooCommerce stock field and only allow calculating it when a cron is executed (please note that this is what you are doing with the calculated properties when enabling the CRON in settings).

If the synchronization isn't working in your case, you'd need to find out why. That shouldn't happen.

Anyway, you can execute the tool from the WP CLI interface. That allows you to create a cron to execute the tool:
wp atum pl_update_real_stock

I hope this helps.

Good morning,
I think that my problem that I have been experiencing for a long time relates to the same problem.

I have to systematically go to the settings to force the products' calculated properties for the BOM to be updated when I edit an inventory from central stock.

Hi cedric-comptoir ,

This issue doesn't seem to be related to yours. Please note that it concerns Product Levels and the calculated stock.

You can't modify BOM products stock from Stock Central (unless you make them sellable). Or do you mean Manufacturing Central?

Anyway, please open a private ticket here so we can investigate the issue.
