The supplier stock is the inventory a supplier has available for purchase for a given product. This quantity can be displayed when placing a purchase order and allows you to make strategic purchase decisions, based on the stock your supplier has available.

When placing a purchase order
​

Inside a purchase order, you'll find this information under the folder "Available products". If you click there the supplier stock data will now be displayed in your purchase order editor.
​

You can also find all the products associated with a supplier from the supplier's page.
For that just select a supplier and click the folder "Supplier Products".


Upload

The supplier stock can be uploaded via our public API. PATCH the freeStock attribute on supplierProduct endpoint.

We advise setting up an automated process that updates the data in Optiply on each change in the supplier's data. This way you have the most accurate information when placing a purchase order.
