This change has been extremely confusing and frustrating. You’re telling me we have to go in and manually update our inventory ??? CHANGE IT BACK!!!

Hi, @Alyson01 .
Rio here from the Shopify Community team. Based on feedback from merchants like yourself, our team has reinstated the ability to adjust and edit the Available inventory state via the admin and CSV. Now, both On hand and Available can be edited in the admin.
Thank you for your feedback as we truly do value it in building the platform!

Shopify needs to put back the only system. The people have spoken. This is unacceptable. We should NOT have to adjust anything when an item is purchased. It should automatically deduct like it did before.

I think the people have spoken. Shopify NEEDS to go back to the original
settings. We should not have to manually adjust anything. It should be
automatic like it was before when an item is purchased.

Hey @Alyson01 ,
Based on feedback from merchants like yourself, we’ve been hard at work making changes to Shopify’s inventory system. We wanted to highlight a feature that might be of use to many of you!
You now have full control over which quantities you see on your Inventory page, and in what order. This means that if On hand does not make sense for your business, you can now hide it from your inventory page. You can also rearrange your inventory page so that Available is always shown first.
This feature also helps you to create work-flow specific views. For example, if you wanted to create a saved view to inform your reordering decisions, you could show only the Available and Incoming quantities, with a filter for Available < 10 and call it “Low Stock”.
Learn how to do this in our help docs.
Thank you again for all of your feedback!
