Goodaye Lynne,

We have custom order items that are displayed without "sell" being turned on. These items show as
<meta itemprop="availability" content="http://schema.org/OutOfStock">

---

At present I believe the only way to solve this is to edit your includes.php settings file as follows ...

$setschemaavailability=FALSE;

The structured data snippet for "availabilty" will then be omitted entirely.
The Google Structured Data Testing Tool will display this warning message: "The availability field is recommended. Please provide a value if available."

Note that this is not an "Error". The "availabilty" snippet is optional and therefore there is no page rank penalty involved whatsoever.

You can change the Out Of Stock message as desired, particularly where your stock level is uncertain.

$xxOutStok="Contact us to confirm availability";
