This page provides links for setting inventories in UltraCart.
Product inventory can be turned on or off within UltraCart.
If you have limitless supply, sell a made-to-order (MTO) product, or otherwise are unconcerned about inventory, you can simply turn it off.
Otherwise, UltraCart provides the means to track inventory, handle backorders, and ship product through multiple distribution centers.
If you choose to track inventory, configure all distribution centers before setting inventory levels. Inventory is tracked by distribution centers. If you are a small business and manage the shipping aspect of your business, the default (DFLT) distribution center should work fine. Add additional distribution centers (DC) as needed.
You may set the inventory levels for each product by navigating to the item (Home → Item Management → Items → [select an item]) and then clicking on its Shipping tab of the Item Editor.
