Enabling inventory tracking for hosted stores or Extended Sites (Business Edition)

Hosted stores and Extended Sites are created with the Availability To Promise (ATP) feature enabled but with inventory tracking disabled by default.

To enable inventory tracking for all hosted stores and Extended Sites that will be created using the Store Creation wizard:

  1. Open the following file in a text editor:
    WC_installdir/xml/trading/xml/TemplateHostingContract.xml
    
  2. Locate the FulfillmentCenter element.
  3. Change the value of its inventoryopflags attribute from 14 to 0.
  4. Save the file.

To enable inventory tracking for a hosted store or Extended Site that will be imported using an XML file from the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator:

  1. Open the XML file that defines the hosted store in a text editor.
  2. Locate the FulfillmentCenter element.
  3. Change the value of its inventoryopflags attribute from 14 to 0.
  4. Save the file.

Note: If the XML file does not contain a FulfillmentCenter element, no changes are necessary.

To enable inventory tracking for a hosted store or Extended Site that has already been created:

  1. Execute the following SQL statement:
    UPDATE ffmcenter SET inventoryopflags='0' WHERE name ='name_of_store_fulfillment_center'
    
  2. Repeat step 1 for all the fulfillment centers of the store.
