# Inventory Tracking for Options

With this feature, you can:

* Set available stock for each option value
* Automatically stop sales when an option is out of stock (or continue selling if needed)
* Monitor inventory changes and adjustments in one place

This is especially useful for products where different options have different stock levels, such as colors, materials, or custom variations.

## Setting up inventory tracking for your option

### Step 1. Create Your Option

1. Open **Avis Product Options** and create a new option (or edit an existing one).
2. In the **Basic settings** tab, enter your **Option name** and **Option values** (for example: Color – Green, Grey, Blue, Black).
3. If you are using image swatches, upload an image that matches or represents each option value.

> The option values you create here will be used for inventory tracking in the next steps.

In the **Basic settings** tab, scroll down and enable **Track inventory**.

Once enabled, additional inventory-related columns will appear for each option value, such as **SKU**, **Inventory tracked**, and **Available** quantity.

### Step 3. Set Up Inventory Information

After enabling **Track inventory**, configure inventory details for each option value.

#### SKU (Optional)

* You can assign a **SKU** to each option value for internal tracking.
* If left empty, the system will display **No SKU** in the inventory list.

#### Inventory / Stock Tracking

For each option value:

1. Make sure **Inventory tracked** is checked.
2. Enter the **Available** quantity directly, or click **Details** for advanced inventory settings.

* **Unavailable:** Quantity that cannot be sold.
* **Committed:** Quantity reserved for existing orders.
* **Available:** Quantity customers can currently purchase.
* **On hand:** Total physical stock in your inventory.

#### Continue Selling When Out of Stock

* Enable this option to allow customers to purchase even when stock reaches zero.
* Disable it to automatically stop sales when the option is out of stock.

#### View Adjustment History

* Click **View adjustments history** to review all past inventory changes for that option value.
