Trying to figure out why inventory control doesn't work.

Yes, I too would love to see more features on inventory control and monitoring. it seems that the inventory information (at least for tangible products) is updated properly every time a transaction is completed. All that needs to be done is to display and keep track of this information.

I got this suggestion when replying to this issue:

Call to undefined function:

Then not all the ecommerce modules are enabled. Navigate to admin/settings/store and see the 'Store module dependencies' section to figure out which modules need to still be installed.

But I have installed the following modules:

address Installed
parcel Installed
payment Installed
paypal Installed
product Installed
shipping Installed
cart Installed
tangible Installed
file Installed

And yet still have not seen any indication of inventory information/control/monitoring.

I have installed the above modules as well with the latest version of Drupal, and I have the same issues.

you need store.module.

Two things I am grappling with: items are not taken out of inventory until the transaction is completed. It would be nice to have the option to have inventory decremented when the transaction is received. Also, perhaps there should be an inventory check at the moment the transaction is processed in case people leave a session open for a long time and come back after the item has sold out.

Second: I see strange behavior with products that I pre-existed on my 4.6 site with inventory control. The stock for these is set to zero, and inventory control is disabled: re-enabling inventory control and adding stock is not saved when the product page is saved. Do I have to re-enter all these old products as new nodes to get inventorty control working for them?

Thanks

It was the dreaded 'vid' column yet again! To get ecommerce working after upgrading from 4.6 I had to manually add some columns to the ec tables that I could see in the .install mysql statements but were not updated automatically. The vid column added this way need to have a value for things to work. I have found that making it equal to nid seems to work.
