Backorder Notifications

Tim Ruppert
Can anyone tell me why these would be being generated?  I mean at a
business process level I understand it, but what setting causes these to
be sent out after an order is placed?

Cheers,
Tim

if you want to disable this, you can go into the product store, emails
and remove the notification.

In reply to this post by BJ Freeman
Much appreciated BJ, but what I was looking for was more along the lines
of when I set my data up, did I do something wrong to make it think that
the stuff is backordered?

I do know how to and will turn off that notification regardless, but I
was just wondering if it was more a setup problem.

Cheers,
Tim

Re: Backorder Notifications

BJ Freeman
there may be a bug, since some changes have been made in that area since
I last tested it, I can't verify this.

The way it is suppose to work, is if the require inventory is set to no,
you should not get a backorder email, from my understanding.
if the require inventory is set to yes and the inventory is non
existent, zero or below set levels, then a back order email is generated.

Re: Backorder Notifications

Tim Ruppert
That's what I thought - and my requireInventory flags are set to 'N' on
all of my products.

Can anyone verify this to be the case?  I will be happy to file the bug
if it is.

Cheers,
Tim

Re: Backorder Notifications

Joe Eckard
Those are actually generated by a recurring scheduled service
"checkInventoryAvailability".

It checks your backorders and stock levels (including incoming
shipments I believe) and sends out notices to be in compliance with the
FTC 30 day rule (
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/mailorder.htm )

If you wanted to turn these off, you can just cancel that service.

Re: Backorder Notifications

Tim Ruppert
That's correct - I could always turn off the service - and thanks for
pointing out which one it was - it was illuminating.  So, now the
question comes down to which part of the order completion process is
writing out the inventoryItem that the checkInventoryAvailability is
finding?

This comes right as the order is completed and before the
sendEmailNotification service is fired.

Cheers,
Tim
