Stock Updates

If set to YES, Woosage50 will update website product stock for all active Sage products that have Publish To Web (PTW) ticked on the Sage Product Record>Web tab during the Orders processing cycle. Website stock quantity is synchronised with Sage by Woosage50 regardless of the Manage Stock status of products and variations, but WooCommerce will only utilise it if Manage Stock is ticked in the Product Data>Inventory tab.

The following settings control how product updates and creation, if enabled, will be applied by Woosage50.

Enable website product creation from Sage

If set to Yes, Woosage will create new product placeholders in WooCommerce for products with Publish to Web set in Sage, but not found on the website (subject to settings below). Website product placeholders are Draft products that are populated with the basic product information found in Sage. Descriptions, images and any styling must be applied manually.

Ignore Draft Products

If the setting is YES, then Woosage50 will ignore any draft product with a matching SKU (i.e. no update will be performed on the draft product and no new draft product will e created.).
If the setting is NO, then Woosage50 will update a draft product with a matching SKU or create a new draft product placeholder if no match is found

Ignore Trashed Products

If a matching SKU is found in trashed products Woosage50 will always issue a warning as WooCommerce automatically deletes them after 30 days, so you must restore it as a Draft, Private or Published product to avoid this.
If a matching SKU is found and this setting is NO, then Woosage50 will update the Trashed product.
If a matching SKU is found and this settings is YES, then Woosage50 will create a new Draft product placeholder

Note. Trash may also be labelled Bin or Deleted
Private products will always be updated, if a matching SKU is found.
