Stock not decreasing when not in stock

[patrick_tschumi]

Hello

I re-wrote two functions out of this classes to allow to order a product which is not in stock and stock management is enabled:

Magento\CatalogInventory\Model\Quote\Item\QuantityValidator
Magento\CatalogInventory\Model\StockStateProvider

The quantity of a product like this is 0 - but now I'd like to decrease the count also if a order is placed.

How can I achieve that? Where is the code which handles this?

Regards

Patrick

Hi @patrick_tschumi,

You can use magento default feature to use back order instead on customization.

I hope it will help you!

@patrick_tschumi  How about reducing the threshold for out of stock from 0 to -10 or something which can work for you? In this way your stock will reduce as well as you'll get the orders.
