Applies to 2.0.1+ Stable Verified July 29, 2026

Assign Administrator, Shop manager, or Inventory staff access without exposing costs or system settings to unauthorized roles.

Open the feature

Go to Stock Manager > Settings.

Complete the workflow

  1. Filter or open the exact product, location, batch, supplier, purchase order, reservation, order, or report in scope.
  2. Review quantities, destination, source document, capability, and current lifecycle state.
  3. Preview, dry-run, or validate the operation when that control is available.
  4. Apply the operation once and follow the linked movement, history, order, or export.

Verify the result

  • WooCommerce aggregate sellable stock agrees with Stock Manager after the operation.
  • Movement, batch, order, location, or audit history explains the quantity change.
  • Retrying the same integration request does not duplicate inventory or orders.

Important notes

  • Costs, tax, supplier, purchase-order, valuation, and unit-cost fields require the matching capability.
  • Use a linked reversal or reconciliation workflow instead of deleting posted inventory history.
