Restrict Out of Stock Products
| POS Stock Control
Display, Warn, Block, and Control Out-of-Stock Products in Odoo POS
Control product availability inside Odoo POS with real-time stock visibility. Display on-hand quantity, virtual quantity, or both directly on POS product cards so cashiers can make accurate selling decisions from the POS screen. Use configurable stock restriction rules to warn, block, or require manager approval before selling products with insufficient stock.
Configure stock restriction features from Point of Sale → Configuration → Point of Sale and choose the stock type, warehouse, location, warning policy, low-stock threshold, and product card behavior for each POS. Optional product-level and category-level policies let managers fine tune which products can be sold when stock is unavailable.
Smart POS Stock Restriction Experience
Prevent accidental out-of-stock sales with configurable POS stock visibility and restriction rules. Show stock quantities on product cards, warn cashiers before selling unavailable items, and block or approve sales according to your POS policy.
- Stock Visibility Workflow: Show on-hand, virtual, or both stock quantities directly on POS product cards.
- Restriction Control: Warn and allow, block, or require manager approval for out-of-stock product selection.
- Flexible Operations: Configure warehouse/location source, low-stock threshold, hidden products, disabled cards, product overrides, and category rules.
Start POS Stock Control in Minutes
Install the module, open Point of Sale → Configuration → Point of Sale, enable stock display and restriction options, choose your stock type and policy, then start selling with live stock guidance from the POS screen — no coding required.
