Stocking Checking and i.CAM32
From i.STAR Help
Setting stock checking codes
By default, i.CAM32 does not require any stock checking codes to be set up. Any item on the web is assumed to be able to be purchased unless it’s been marked as In Store only.
If you wish to have inventory levels checked for stock status and/or want a stock status label to appear with an item, you will want to set up stock checking codes.
Add a stock check code. Specify Code and Description.
Check the appropriate boxes. And continue to specify which store’s inventory to check if you choose Display Stock Status based on Store Quantities.
