Stock Buffer (Buffer Quantity)

With Stock Buffer functionality, we can keep some desired quantity as Buffer.

The Product Quantity pushed to the Sales Channels will be

  • Quantity Available (Qty in Stock - Qty on SO) – the Buffer Quantity.

To Add a Stock Buffer:

  • Click on Save.


  • Now go to the Products -> Products List -> select product to which you want to add the buffer. Click on Edit icon

The product is ready to be pushed with the Stock Buffer.
