Stop sales on a product

Inventory allocations allow you to immediately stop sales on one or several SKUs. This is useful if you want to control product availabilities across sales channels from a single place or if you need to temporary limit sales on a specific market.

As soon as your allocation is deactivated product quantities will be turned back to the available quantities.

Steps

1. From your Bigblue admin, go to Inventory > Inventory allocations.
2. Click Create allocation.
3. Enter an allocation name. This name is displayed on the inventory overview to help you identifying live allocations.
4. Select the warehouse that should be used as reference for available inventory. If you only have one warehouse, it will be auto-selected.
5. Select the Pre-sell inventory purpose in the Purpose section. While not very impactful in this use case, this will prevent bad consequences on other channels if values are updated by mistake in the future.
6. Select the auto-adjustment rule follow allocation.
7. In the Sales channels section, select the channel you want to stop sales on. Other channels won’t be affected.
8. In the Products section, configure the affected products:
   1. Add your products to the allocation.
   2. Set the allocated quantity for each product to zero.
   3. Optional: You can import products in bulk with a CSV file. The headers of your file must be BigblueProductSKU and Quantity.
