Summary:
The recent update to the stock transfer interface introduces a critical error: it fails to automatically activate stock tracking or reactivate items when inventory is transferred to a location where the item was previously made inactive. Previously, this process included a pop-up notification confirming that stock tracking and item activation would occur, ensuring smooth operations. This issue has disrupted workflows and caused unnecessary confusion for staff.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Identify an item that has been made inactive at a location.
- Use the updated stock transfer interface to transfer inventory for that item to the inactive location.
- Attempt to scan or interact with the item at the receiving location.
Expected Behavior:
When inventory is transferred to a location where an item is inactive:
- The system should automatically reactivate the item for the location.
- Stock tracking should also be enabled for the item at the receiving location.
- A confirmation notification or pop-up should be displayed, as was the case in the previous interface, indicating that these actions have occurred.
Actual Behavior:
- The item remains inactive at the receiving location after the transfer.
- Stock tracking is not enabled, preventing operations such as scanning or labeling.
- Staff attempting to create labels for transferred inventory identified this issue.
Impact:
- Operational delays occur when staff are unable to scan or label items at the receiving location.
- Increased risk of confusion and panic among team members who expect transferred inventory to be ready for use.
- Manual intervention is required to identify and address affected items, adding significant administrative overhead.
Reproducibility:
This issue consistently occurs when inventory is transferred to a location where an item was previously made inactive.
Workaround:
A temporary workaround involves manually filtering affected items using an API catalog export to identify inactive items. This requires reactivating the items and enabling stock tracking manually, which is not a sustainable or efficient solution.
Attachments:
- Images of an example item showing the issue (attached).
- Exported data showing items with missing stock tracking activation after transfer that have been corrected manually.
Urgency:
This bug requires attention as it disrupts essential inventory management workflows and creates unnecessary complications for staff. A resolution is needed to restore the functionality provided by the previous system. Inventory is successfully tracked, however it is unsaleable without intervention
