Scroll down to Option Stock Manager. If you are using OpenCart 3.x, your screen will be a little different from the above. You will see Option Stock Manager Dashboard and Option Stock Manager Settings. Click the Install button for both of these. For all OpenCart 2.x

3 versions, click the Install button for Option Stock Manager. After installed, click the Edit button for Option Stock Manager Settings (OpenCart 3.x) or Option Stock Manager (OpenCart 2.x) to setup the module 5. There is only one setting for Option Stock Manager. This is where you define the columns that will show up on the Option Stock Manager form. If you do not use the Low Stock Report module, you will not see the Reorder Qty, Reorder Alarm, or Cost fields. These will only be there if you have Low Stock Report installed as well. Check the checkboxes for the items you want to be able to edit on the Option Stock Manager screen

4 Option Stock Manager Use 1. This is the Option Stock Manager form. The location is different based on the version of OpenCart you are running. In OpenCart 2.x, you will find this under Catalog -> Option Stock Manager. In OpenCart 3.x, you will find it under Extensions -> Modules -> Option Stock Manager Dashboard

5 2. First, we will change the data of a product without options. We will be changing the HTC Touch HD product 3. Notice, we changed the Name, Model, Price, Quantity, and Reorder Alarm. Remember, if you do not use the Low Stock Report, the Reorder Alarm column will not be available. When you change a field and click off the field, the data is updated at that point. If it is successful, your input field should turn green as the above. If there is an error, it will turn red. This should usually not occur and indicates a conflict of some sort most likely. Now we will edit a product with options as it works a little differently

6 4. We are going to be updating the Canon EOS 5D product. Note the current option prices and main product quantity (7). The main product quantity for a product with options is not editable. It calculates the total option quantities and uses that as its total quantity. You will see how this works in the next screenshot

7 5. So, we updated the main product price and both option quantities. When you update the main product price of a product with options, it also updates the option prices. Before we made the changes, the main product price was $ The Red option was $ The Blue option was $ We changed the main product price to $125.00, an increase of $ The option prices updated accordingly. The Red option is now $ and the Blue option is now $ You can also modify the option prices to change only the option price. The option price includes the main product price. So in the case of the Red option, it would show up on your product form as and the Blue option would show up as So if you wanted to make the option price less than your main product price, you would put in which would then show up as We already touched on the quantity previous but now you can see it in action. We changed the Red option to a quantity of 10 and the Blue option to a quantity of 10. This automatically updated the main product quantity to We will now use the Products in Stock button. The iphone is currently out of stock. Now we will click the Products in Stock button

8 7. Click the Products in Stock button 8. That will hide all products that have no stock. The iphone is no longer showing up on the form. To show all products again, click the same button which changed to All Products

9 9. Lastly, you can export the Option Stock Manager form. Click the Export button to get a CSV file with all the details displayed on the form This is the end of the Option Stock Manager Installation and Use documentation
