you said, “you can look at using Shipping Profiles to ensure that orders from certain countries only ship from locations/warehouses that you want them to.”
we have our shipping profiles set up with three different warehouses: USA, UK, and Asia and specified which country orders ship from what warehouse. For example: A Japan order will ship from our Asia warehouse. Unfortunately, there is a bug in the Shopify software that if inventory exists in a different warehouse, it will deduct from warehouse it should ship from even if no inventory exists, not from the warehouse that has the inventory. For example: Product “A” is not in stock in our Asia warehouse, but it is available in our UK warehouse. When we receive an order for Japan for Product “A” it will deduct inventory from our Asia warehouse even though it is NOT available in our Asia warehouse, and show a “negative” inventory value. Very frustrating since we have to tell our Japan customer item is not available, and cancel their order, then correct the “negative” inventory. (We do NOT have “Continue selling when out of stock” checked." Anyone know when Shopify plans to fix this issue?
