Admin End Configuration- Inventory Management
After the creation of the outlet, the admin can assign the products to the outlet. The assigned products require the assignment of quantity as to provide a separation between the inventory of POS and online inventory.
The admin can click on ‘Assign Product By Barcode’ which will open up the option to assign product quantity via barcode. Hence, the admin here can click on ‘Assign By Barcode’ button.
After that, a pop-up will appear as Add POS stock by Barcode Reader under which following details will be visible-
- Name of the product– Name of the product will be displayed.
- Master Stock- This refers to the stock of the product in the main inventory.
If we have two outlets as A and B and we have a product with a total quantity of as 100. Where we have assigned 80 to outlet A then we can assign only 20 product to outlet B.
- POS Stock- This refers to the stock of the product which is dedicated to the physical store.
- SKU- The Unique code as in default Magento 2 which represents the product. This code is linked with the barcode of the product.
Thus, allowing the admin to ease the process of product inventory management.
Now, the admin can examine the complete quantity of the product and assign a particular quantity out of complete stock.
Post assignment the admin will receive a success message.
Hence, the admin views the assigned quantity of the product in the ‘Associated Products Individually’ section.
Source Management by Admin
At the time of outlet creation, the admin can assign a source to that particular outlet. The admin can create the source from the backend by navigating to Stores > Inventory > Sources.
By clicking on the Add New Source button the admin will add a new source which may include the Name, Code, Lattitude, Longitude and more details.
Sources are the physical stores where inventories are kept. For example, any source USA can have multiple stores in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, etc.
These stores will be treated as Outlets and each outlet will be mapped or connected to Source. Sources are created when there are multiple inventory locations available for any particular store.
If the admin will update the quantity of particular product for any specific outlet then the same quantity will be visible in the admin product page for that source.
For doing this view the outlet in edit mode and assign a product using Barcode. Select any particular product and update the product quantity as shown in the image below:
For this product, the admin will update the quantity. After clicking on Done when the admin will view this product by navigating to Catalog > Products then the changes will get reflected its associated source as shown in the image below:
Product Inventory Management After Product Sold
Now from the POS end the customer for instance purchase the 5 qty of product.
Now after placing the order from POS end, the admin can check the updated product qty for the outlet. As, the product qty before is 103 for New York outlet, after placing an order with 5 product qty.
The remaining qty left there is 98 which clearly shown the real-time sync for the inventory.
