When a product is phased out, Optiply will not keep the product in stock. Therefore, the product will only be advised to purchase when the stock position is smaller than 0.
Why would you phase out a product?
You can phase out products for several reasons:
You want to remove the product from your assortment, but the product is still available for purchase.
You know you don't need the product for the next six months and don't want to restock it.
This product is drop-shipped or cross-docked

Phase out temporarily
When you temporarily phase out a product, it will reappear in the purchase advice after the set date. The advised stock level will be updated automatically.
Selling products that are not kept in stock
Products you want to sell, but do not want to keep in stock, can also be put on 'phasing out'. In fact, 'phasing out' means topping up to 0; we will only buy the product if your stock gets negative.
