CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello everyone, I know (from searching the forum for a while) this has been discussed and asked about several times [ inventory management ], but I can't seem to find recent info.

Question

Basically I am trying to figure out a way to track inventory. Please take a look at my screen shot, I found this setting under the Products Module: " Set Ecommerce Event Handlers "
I can't figure out what this setting does or how it works, because it says below "This is useful if asking the items module to keep track of a quantity on hand". I can't find where I would insert quantity for products? Is there another module I have to install?

Research

I found several threads that were old but also didn't have any answers. It seems from what I read that maybe Calguys Ecommerce Suite doesn't yet support Inventory Management, but I can't tell for sure because these were older posts! Here are some of them:

This is an Inventory Management I found by DukeTown (DTInventory) BUT, I don't know if this can seamlessly integrate with Calguys Ecommerce Suite

Hi Rod,

I don't have an answer to your question...
But I want to say if there was an award for forum members that did the best research and well explained forum posts you would definitely have my vote! Kudos!

The products module has a custom field type for 'Quantity On Hand'

Create a new field of this type (you are allowed only one).
And then you should see when editing a product a field to edit quantity on hand.

Additionally, each option has a 'Quantity On Hand' field.

Now.... When the order is paid, the quantity on hand field should be reduced.

There is no mechanism to increase the QOH to be increased at this time.
