Admin Products page – Stock quantity

Thanks for fast reply! 🙂

Yes, 330 is correct total (main product + variations stock) but I made a plugin (which we talked two weeks ago) adds option for product’s variation to reduce main product’s stock amount by certain value.

Also I manage variation’s stock amount by given them values based on this value. (Example. main product 300, variation A value 10, so variation A stock is 30) so everything works beautifully in product’s page in the shop. Taking variation’s stock management off would cause other problems…

Because of this, I would need to have just main product’s stock showing on the products page.

Yes I could add new field for the variation as “variation stock”, and take variation stock management off, so it doesn’t affect admin products page’s stock quantity, but I am assuming it will cause more problems when adding products to cart and in checkout page etc…?

Adding products to cart, alerts about trying to add more than there is stock, stock qty management after checkout etc. are working nicely with having variation’s stock management turned on.

offtopic :
(Expect that I need to find the best way to dynamically check/adjust stock so user can’t add more variations to cart than there are main product’s stock. User could buy 30x variation A (10) and 1x variation B (20), total of 320, when main product’s stock is 300)

I’ll check can I achieve this with that woocommerce_get_availability filter, it is used by class-wc-product-variation.php and abstract-wc-product.php

Yeah that I was thinking about that. But adding filter to that would affect globally variation/product availability stock quantity, not just admin products page…?

There is no way to narrow my custom filter/function just to work in one page’s call?

Hope you understand what I mean 😉

Well, customer only sees variations and their stock quantity – they’ll never see main product’s quantity. Only place where user sees “wrong” stock quantity now is admin products page so basically admin is just the problem.

Wrapping it around is_admin() is very simply way, no idea why I didn’t thing of that. Let see what I do (prolly crash the server few times…) 🙂

Works nicely. Hope it gets added to WooCommerce 🙂
(or some variation of this)

add_filter('woocommerce_admin_stock_html', 'admin_product',10,2);
    function admin_product($stock_html,$product) {
            if( $product->is_type( 'variable' ) ) {
                $stock_html = $product->get_stock_quantity() . '<br>'  . '<mark class="instock">'. __('In stock', 'woocommerce' ) . '</mark>';
            }
    return $stock_html;
}
