Availability requirements
The availability requirement offers you additional ways to manage availability of inventory beyond the standard available column described in minimum catalog requirements.
| Column | Data type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| balance_on_hand | float | The approximate number of an item on hand in a particular location. | 53 |
| in_assortment | boolean | If an unavailable item is likely to be in stock soon, TRUE. Useful to control seasonal and discontinued stock. | TRUE |
| last_sold_date | date (no timestamp) | The last date this item was sold in the store, in the format MM/DD/YYYY. | 10/20/2017 |
| max_in_cart | integer | The maximum number a customer can purchase at once. An empty row or 0 allows the customer to buy any amount and removes the max_in_cart function from this item.• If cost_unit = each then max_in_cart value is by item.• If cost_unit = lb, kg, and no par_weight, then max_in_cart value is by cost_unit (lb or kg).• If par_weight is given, the system rounds down to the lowest whole item. | 4 [maximum of 4] 0 [No maximum set] Per lb or kg example: Steak, $5.00 / lb, par_weight = 0.5lbs,max_in_cart = 1.5A customer can buy a maximum of 1.5 lbs, or a maximum of three steaks (0.5 lbs each): Steak, $5.00/lb, no par_weight,max_in_cart =1.5 |
