MexBS Multi Inventory Extension for Magento 2

Inventory management is the core process of every eCommerce business. Failing to maintain accurate inventory records can lead to an inability to fulfill orders. That, in turn, can lead to unhappy customers and a loss of the company’s credibility. Proper inventory management is also vital for purchase planning, expense control, and bookkeeping. In case that you have investors, good inventory management is also crucial to maintain trust with your investors.

Out of the box, Magento 2 provides handy inventory management tools. However, the trouble comes for merchants who run multi website Magento installation and use Magento version before 2.3. That is because prior Magento 2.3, Magento didn’t support multi-website inventory management. It means that merchants who have multiple websites can’t set different inventory data of the product per website. That makes the inventory management a tough task for these merchants.

MexBS Multi Inventory Extension allows managing the inventory on the website level. That is, you can assign different product inventory data for different websites per product. It doesn’t require Warehouses or stock creation. That makes it a perfect solution for merchants who need the multi-website functionality and don’t need sophisticated inventory management.

Note: In 2.3, Magento introduced the MSI (Multi-Source Inventory), making it possible to create multiple sources of the inventory per website. Therefore, this extension is only compatible with Magento 2.1 and 2.2.

Features

Manage the product inventory per website

Run the low stock report on a website level

The extension allows you to run the Low Stock report on a website level. That is, it displays the products that have a low stock in a specific website. Just select the desired website (or All Websites) and run the report. You can also export the low stock report to CSV or XML.

Import and export products’ inventory data on a website level

The extension extends the native Magento import and export to support product inventory per website. That is, you can use the Magento import to import products inventory data per website. The import is very easy and seamless. Use the same CSV file that you use to import the other product data. Find the line in the CSV that corresponds to the desired website, and set your inventory data next to the other product data. If you are still confused – use the export as a CSV example. Create the export CSV file regularly. The file will be the same as a regular Magento export product CSV file. However, it will contain inventory data in the lines that correspond to the different websites.
