Selective Stock Management

However, there are occasions when they run a clearance or closeout sale. In addition to the choices of 'off' or 'on' under stock management, it would be nice to have a setting 'selected products' with a check box in the product's admin 'use stock management'.

If stock is set above 500 nothing shows, so we set those products to a really high number. If our supply gets low, or like you, we want to closeout, we set the actual stock level and it shows when the stock is under 500. Wouldn't that work for you? quote: stockdisplaythreshold=1000 ...where any stock above 1000 units won't show the In Stock message and quantity in stock to the public.

But yes, that could work. Marshall CENLYT Productions - ms designs Affordable Web Design Custom Ecommerce Designs Responsive Websites Cenlyt.com

Always. Marshall’s suggestion would be an absolutely great feature to have available… where people can actually start using the inventory management and are able to implement it at their own pace as their business requires and not how the software dictates.
