Multi Inventory: Shipping Restriction question, inventory iteration

support_mybusiness360

I've purchased Multi-inventory and I am trying to set it up correctly.

Say I have a product with 2 intentories, A and B. Inventoty A has 1 product in stock and B has 100.
I also use Shipping restrictions and the iteration is set to Use next in priority order. Inventory A is the primary inventory for most locations. Let's say Greece uses inventory A, and rest of Europe uses inventory B.

I don't have geolocation active.

Currently, the product page displays a stock of 1 ( I guess because it's the inventory A first in the product).

By the documentation, since iteration is activated, I'd expect that a customer in Greece can buy 10 products because inventory B has enough stock but that's not the case in my tests.

How can I set it up so that happens?

TLDR;

I want to have 2 inventories per item: Inventory A goes to some locations, Inventory B to the rest. However if there isn't enough product in an inventory, I want to send stock from the other regardless of location. Also, I want to display the total stock in the product page in the frontend.
Are these things possible?

Hi support_mybusiness360 ,

Thanks for your post.

Unfortunately, the Shipping Zone restrictions in Multi-Inventory don't work as you want.
Let me explain:

We use the WooCommerce functions to determine the shipping zone the customer is in.
They return only one region depending on the Shipping Zones and the priorities set in WC Settings.
Using this zone, ATUM MI filters only the inventories with the zone set.
The iteration settings are used to determine the stock to show in the front end from the filtered inventories.

With this logic, the customer in Greece would see only one or nine products depending on your shipping zones priorities.

What you want can be done, but it would require custom coding.
