I use firebear and magmi to import and update products and m2epro to list on amazon. In many cases I see the wrong stock status, for example, qty=0 but stock status is "in stock". Also many times when Magento tries to create an order when an order comes from amazon there is a log that shows " Magento Order was not created. Reason: This product is out of stock.", but it is indeed in stock and after cron runs again it is able to create the order. Generally this takes between 10-30 min. According to m2epro support: The error occurs because the $stockStatus object does not contain information about the stock status of the product, except for the default value of STOCK_OUT_OF_STOCK.
the data regarding the stock status of the product is not returned from the database. The $stockStatus object should contain a string from the cataloginventory_stock_status table, but this data is not detected which leads to the error occurance, as the installed logger indicates. But, after a while, the Magento order is created automatically, and the required values of stock status appear when checking the database records a second time. Thus, we can conclude that the data are missing in the database at the first attempt to create an order, but after a while, it's added and the order is created automatically.
The reason the records in cataloginventory_stock_status table disappear for a while can be related to the algorithm of third-party inventory management tools. Summarizing all of the above, this error occurs in Magento code due to a periodic lack of the necessary data about the product stock status
Hope you can help, thanks!
