Before you start
- An inventory-tracked product and an agreed source of truth for stock.
- A reconciled stock count and approved order/backorder policy.
- Supplier details and a decision about whether stock is entered here or maintained by an integration.
Open in your admin application
Use your installation’s admin address with one of these routes. Replace {id} with the actual record identifier.
/inventories/inventory-insert/inventory-edit?InventoryID={id}/vendors/vendor-insert/product-edit?ProductID={id}Maintain the inventory record
Find the product’s stock record
From Product Workspace → Fulfillment use Manage inventory, or open
/inventories. Locate the existing product record before inserting another.Set quantities and thresholds
On the inventory insert/edit form select Product and enter In Stock Quantity and Low Stock Threshold. Use a reconciled count; this is a quantity record, not evidence of a warehouse receipt.
Set backorder policy
Set Is Backordering Allowed, Backordered Quantity and Maximum Backorder Quantity according to the operating policy. Set Minimum Order Quantity and Maximum Order Quantity for order limits.
Save and inspect the detail
Verify product identity, quantities and limits. The detail also exposes last inventory/date and low-stock information. Do not change Is Low Stock Announced merely to hide an alert without resolving the stock condition.
Verify the consuming workflow
Check the intended storefront/order integration against the new values. A stock record does not itself establish a universal reservation, purchasing or carrier-dispatch workflow.
Maintain a vendor and attach it to a product
Create the vendor record
Open
/vendor-insert. Enter Vendor Name, Web Site, Payment Terms, Notes, address and Contact Name as applicable. Set Enabled; leave Deleted clear for an active vendor.Link it to a product
In Product Workspace → Organization choose Add Vendor. Confirm Product and Vendor, save the ProductVendor relationship and return to the product.
Verify the relationship, not a purchase order
Confirm the vendor appears in the product’s Vendors list. Supplier association is catalog data; purchase-order creation, supplier routing and shipment booking use the business-specific integration/workflow.
Fields & records
| Field / record | Meaning or use |
|---|---|
| In Stock Quantity | Recorded stock quantity; reconcile to the authoritative inventory process. |
| Low Stock Threshold | Threshold for configured low-stock behavior. |
| Backorder fields | Allowed flag, quantity and maximum are distinct. |
| ProductVendor | Association between a product and supplier, not an order to that supplier. |
Verify the result
- Inventory record points to the correct product and shows intended limits.
- A test order follows the configured stock/backorder policy.
- The vendor appears on the correct product; no supplier order is assumed from that link.
Troubleshooting
| What you see | What to check or do |
|---|---|
| Stock changes revert | Check whether an external inventory integration owns the values. |
| Supplier did not receive an order | Adding a vendor relationship does not dispatch purchasing work. |
| Fulfillment incomplete after payment | Inspect the basket fulfillment error and configured integration, then follow the payment/fulfillment guide. |
