Screen Element	Description
Inventory Cost Control
Recalculate Cost on Inventory Adjustment	Checkbox. When checked, inventory costs are recalculated automatically when inventory is adjusted. This recalculation updates the cost of goods.
Allow Direct Inventory Update	Checkbox. When checked, indicates the inventory amount can be changed directly without creating a formal receipt of inventory.
Inventory Product Fulfillment Control
Use Closest Warehouse	Not implemented.
Commit Inventory	Checkbox. When checked, the inventory is committed on a proforma order. When unchecked, the inventory will not be committed until the order has a packing slip. Personify does not recommend this option.
e-Business Defaults
Default Display Out-of-Stock Items	Checkbox. As of 7.5.0, identifies the default behavior related to displaying out-of-stock products on the web. If this checkbox is checked, when a new INV product is created, the Display Out-of-Stock on Web checkbox will be checked on the eBusiness Control screen in Product Maintenance, where it can be changed. For more information, please see Defining Inventoried Product e-Business Controls.
Default Limited Quantity Threshold	Text box. As of 7.5.0, identifies the default available inventory level at which customers will start seeing a “Limited Quantity Available” message on the web. When a new INV product is created, the value defined here defaults into the Limited Qty Threshold field on the eBusiness Control screen in Product Maintenance, where it can be changed.
