Magento2: How to change the scope of product inventory attribute to website or store

[routbiplab]

How can I change the product stock attribute website or store wise?

Steps to reproduce

1. While creating a new product I am unable to set the stock/quantity attribute to website or store wise

Expected result

1. If I am maintaining a separate warehouse for separate website or store then I should be able to upload the product quantity website or store wise.

Actual result

1. Product quantity or stock is always in global scope.

It's not a bug, such a behavior is to be expected.
If you look into the documentation, products stocks are indeed global.
If you'd like to extend the functionality to accommodate multiple warehouses, feel free to either use a 3rd-party extension or customize it on your own.

Yeah I totally agree with you. We indeed need such kind of customization where inventory can be managed for multiple warehouse or website.

Thanks!

I'm closing this issue as it is not a bug.

@korostii, But the quantity of the products are different for each website. Then what to do?

Hi @TejaBhagavan

If this is still a problem for you, FYI Magento now includes "MultiSource Inventory (MSI)" feature out of the box since version 2.3.0, so maybe try upgrading.

Merchants can represent multiple locations (sources) for physical inventory in Magento.
Sources can be grouped into stocks to create inventory pools that can be defined for one or more websites
