We need item level (active/inactive) Flag, to decide whether to publish inventory or not. This flag should be incorporated into both active sync and full sync queries.

We are currently facing issue with Inventory Snapshot publishing for items that we do not wants to publish the inventory details. These items may have been de-activated or it's not part of active catalog or due to compliance issue we do not wants to publish the inventory details to external system. These product may have some existing demand, supply.

Here we have multiple scenario  where we are looking for the solution.

1. In some case we have items that has been published for ordering. However, due to some compliance or other unseen issue, business does not want to show it on website. Here ecom shows all items that it received as part of the snapshot. These products have positive inventory. We need a feature to enable / disable the publishing of Inventory at each item level.

2. Some specific product stock is too low, business does not want to list on site, making it specific to walk in customer only. We need a way to stop publishing it on demand basis.

3. Items get de-activated as there is no inventory present in Business ERP. However, due to some existing supply or demand or shortageQuantity in IV, it is still getting published. It is really difficult and manual process to check supply and demand picture for lots of store and items for correction.


"Due to these scenarios, we request you (IBM PMR TS021160939) to add a flag at the item level (active/inactive) so that business can decide whether to publish or not. This flag should be incorporated into both active sync and full sync queries.”
