🔧 What the Toggle Does
Toggle ON:
Treats all warehouses in the group as a single pool of stock when calculating kit availability.Toggle OFF:
Calculates kit availability separately per warehouse, based only on stock in each individual location.
✅ When to Turn It ON
Use this setting when you want your warehouses to work together as one cohesive inventory source.
📦 You pick from multiple locations interchangeably
Example:
You have a “Storage” warehouse for bulk goods and a nearby “Picking” warehouse for daily fulfillment.
A kit requiring 2 × Widget A will be considered available even if 1 is in Storage and 1 in Picking.
🚚 You fulfill the same orders from multiple warehouses
Example:
Your ecommerce system ships from whichever location has inventory on a given day.
Turning the toggle ON ensures your system doesn’t falsely report kits as out-of-stock just because one warehouse is empty.
🚫 When to Turn It OFF
Use this setting when warehouse independence is important to your operation.
🧍♂️ You pick from only one location
Example:
You have a remote drop-ship warehouse that never sends items to your main fulfillment center.
With the toggle OFF, kits will only show as available in locations that can actually fulfill orders.
📊 You need to report per-warehouse kit availability
Example:
You sell the same kit in two channels—each stocked in its own warehouse (A and B).
Turning the toggle OFF keeps kit quantities separate, ensuring each channel only sees its relevant inventory.
🎯 Best Practice
Choose the setting that reflects your real-world fulfillment process.
By correctly configuring this toggle, your system will always reflect kit availability accurately—avoiding stockout confusion and fulfillment delays.
