Stock matrix per shop #159

Open lbw-dynamicweb opened 1 month ago

Just like the Price Matrix is working with separation in shops, it would also be nice if this was possible for the stock matrix.

Can you elaborate a little more on the use case?

The stock matrix is using stock locations to separate where products are in stock. On a channel/shop you can define which location is available for the channel. On the website settings, commerce tab, you are able to setup which stock location should be used.

So if you actually have products in the same location but kept track of inventory in 2 different warehouses/ERPs, you could create 2 locations in the same place - "Location 1 - shop 1" and "Location 1 - shop 2".

I maybe should have stated what I want to achieve.

We have a setup with multiple shops, where the master shop contains a large inventory of products, and the child shops offer these products alongside their own. I want to enable backend users of the child shops to modify the stock values of a product without impacting the original stock levels in the master shop. Additionally, if no stock value is specified in a child shop, it should default to displaying the stock value from the master shop. The child shops are not allowed to see the other shops inventory.

Implementing shop separation on the stock matrix might not be the correct solution.

I think the right solution depends on where the products are actually physically located. Sounds like the child shops hold their own inventory but can also deliver from the parent indirectly if needed?
