Hi
We are a design studio and we manufacture many of the products on our website, however we also have a extensive range that is already in stock.
As we are manufacturer's, we have all of our products on the website showing as available to purchase even if they are not in stock, because we are able to produce to order quickly. For our own records the items that are in stock are numbered on the inventory.
My problem is this.... When a customer places an order is there any way that we can know if the item they ordered was in stock or not at the time of purchase?
At the moment if the item ordered shows as a zero on the inventory we are having to manually check the stock room to be sure that the customer did not order the last stock item.
This seems like a very clumsy way of doing things as all of the information is already in the Shopify database.
We just need to have an indication in admin as to whenever the item was in stock at the time of purchase.
Is this possible?
