# Variable stock levels

 * I am trying to manage stock levels of variable products.
 * I have Manage Stock checked on each variation
    I have entered a stock quantity
   of 10 When I select the variation in the store it shows as In Stock (which is
   correct) After I purchase 1 item, the stock level for this items shows as -1 
   and I get notification emails saying that product is out of stock and has been
   backordered. I am allowing backorders (notifying customer) but I have tested 
   the issue with not allowing backorders and it still happens. I do not have Manage
   Stock checked at the Product level, only in the variations. The error occurs 
   with all products and all variations.

 * I just did some testing on my demo sites, but couldn’t replicate this issue. 
   I’m thinking something on your site specifically must be causing it.
 * Try temporarily switching back to the WordPress Twenty Sixteen Theme, or [Storefront](http://www.woothemes.com/storefront/),
   and disable all plugins except for WooCommerce. If that resolves the issue, then
   slowly re-enable features until you find the one that’s causing the conflict.

 * Thanks for your reply Caleb.
 * I did some testing and found it is a conflict with the theme. When using twentysixteen
   the stock control works perfectly but when using either the Juster theme or my
   Juster Child Theme it breaks. I have contacted the theme creators to try to resolve
   the issue.
 * I’m going to mark this as resolved as it doesn’t look like it is a WooCommerce
   issue but I will come back and add a solution if I find one.
 * Cheers
