Draft order stock deducted from wrong location despite correct settings

Draft order stock deducted from wrong location despite correct settings

Hi everyone,

 

I'm facing an issue with Shopify's draft orders and inventory management across two locations. When I create a draft order, Shopify is deducting stock from location #1, even though the item is only available at location #2. This results in a negative stock at location #1 and doesn't reflect the correct stock levels.

 

Here are the troubleshooting steps I've already taken with Shopify Support, but the problem persists:

  1. Checked Location Settings: I confirmed that both locations are set up properly in the admin, and location #2 has the stock available for the order.
  2. Reviewed Fulfillment Priority: I tried adjusting the fulfillment priority in Settings > Locations, but this setting is not available on my store.
  3. Draft Order Settings: While creating the draft order, I couldn't find an explicit option to select which location the stock should be deducted from.
  4. Changed Default Location: I set location #2 as the default location for fulfillment, but the stock is still being deducted from location #1.
  5. Checked for Third-Party Apps: I don't have any apps that should be interfering with inventory or order management.

Despite following all these steps, the issue persists, and stock continues to be deducted from location #1. Shopify Support suggested using a third-party app to manage this, but I feel this shouldn't be necessary for something that should work out of the box.

Has anyone else encountered this issue or found a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
