Inventory Management

[jcroxfordv]

With Magento 2.3 it appears inventory management has changed.

I have "Decrease Stock When Order is Placed" set to 'Yes' which apparently now does absolutely nothing. Magento is only decreasing the stock when a shipment is created, it does nothing with stock when an order is placed. 

This is causing HUGE problems... we don't have a system where shipments are instantaneously created when an order is submitted. If we have an item with a quantity of 25 which isn't updated until the warehouse performs the pick tasks and creates the shipment... there's nothing to prevent selling 30 of them. 

Has anyone figured out a way to revert it back to respecting 'Decrease Stock When Order is Placed' and stop it from decreasing stock on a shipment being created?

Trying to manage inventory based on what you've shipped instead of what you have sold seems like extremely flawed logic to me...

Figured out how to make this work... wish there was a way to turn this new functionality off. It's a complete pain when you have an ERP updating your Magento instance.

Hello @jcroxfordv 

That concept came from 2.3 launches with MSI (multi-source inventory) concept.

Glad you figured out to resolve your concern.

I recently read an article about data analytics. Can this thing really help improve the productivity and quality of my business?

I also noticed a similar problem because I didn't have any issues working with Magento 2.2. I even had to hire a person to set up the entire database for analysis in the future. It pissed me off. And I had to pay a lot of money to pay for the work of a specialist because I have a big business and I must always know all the data about clients. And in general, I advise all novice businessmen to read an article about data analytics - https://blog.airslate.com/why-data-analytics-is-critical-for-small-businesses/. After all, now many business people are trying to build a business according to the old system and pay a lot of money for advertising. However, they do not know that you need to pay for data analytics now, which will give you much more profit in the future.
