Bulk source assignment and unassignment
Use the Assign Sources tool to add one or more sources to your products. The tool helps when creating and assigning custom sources to your Default Stock or custom stocks and preparing new locations and inventory.
After adding new custom sources, you can add inventory quantities per product or for multiple products through the Admin or using the import feature.
Assign sources and quantities
-
On the Admin sidebar, go to Catalog > Products.

Browse or search to find the products and select those checkboxes.

Click OK in the confirmation dialog.

Click Assign Sources.
The sources are added to the products with an inventory quantity of 0. You can add inventory quantities per source.
Unassign sources and quantities
When unassigning a source from a product, you are indicating that the product is no longer stocked at that location. This process completely clears all inventory data for source currently assigned to the product. If you want to move the existing inventory to a new location, consider using the Transfer inventory option.
It is highly recommended to complete all orders and shipments for those products before removing the source.
