# 🧃 Product Availability Groups – Batch Update Stock in One Go

## Use availability groups to batch‑update stock for products or modifiers per location. Quickly mark grouped products and modifiers in or out of stock from the inventory view.

### What are Product Availability Groups?

Availability groups let you **mark multiple items of the same type (products or modifiers) as in or out of stock at the same time**, instead of toggling each item individually throughout the day.

They are especially useful when:

- You have **large inventories** per location.
- You regularly sell **families of items** (e.g. all “chips” items, all “house wines”, all “pastries”).
- You need to **react quickly** when something runs out mid‑service.

You can think of an availability group as an **internal tag** you add to related items, such as `chips`, `wines`, or `pastries`. Once that tag is on all relevant items, you can toggle the a whole group in or out of stock in one click per location.

- You can **batch update all products and modifiers in that group** from the **Products** inventory view.

### Before you start: Key points

- Availability groups are configured **on each product or modifier** in **Controls → Products**.
- Each item must have the **availability group added individually** before it can be batch managed.
- Products and modifiers: 
    - Share the same **availability group naming** (e.g. `chips`) if you want to treat them as one logical family.

Once groups are set, you can batch manage **products** and **modifiers** by availability group from the inventory view.

### How it works in practice

**You have:**

- 5 different chips **products**, and
- 3 chips **modifiers**.

Halfway through the day, they run out of potato products at their **Roundabout** location.

**You can:**

1. Set an availability group called **“Everyday”** on all 5 chips products.
2. Set the same availability group **“Everyday”** on the 3 chips modifiers.
3. In the Roundabout **Inventory**: 
     - Go **Products** or **Modifiers** from the inventory dropdown **→** Hover to `Availability group` and Click to sort descending **→** batch toggle the **“Everyday”** group for products.

**Products** and **Modifiers** that are on the same availability group will update **in one click**, instead of 8 manual toggles.

### Behaviour and limits

- **Per location**  
  Availability group changes are made **per location**: 
    - Updating a group at one location **does not** change it at other locations.
- **Pre‑orders vs Same‑day**  
  As with regular inventory management, pre‑order and same‑day inventories remain **independent**. Check you’re editing the correct service type if both are in use.

#### **FAQs**

**Do availability groups work for both products and modifiers?**  
Yes. You can assign availability groups to both **products** and **modifiers**. They are managed from separate inventory views (Products vs Modifiers), but you can use the **same group name** to keep them linked as a group.

**Can I update products and modifiers in one single click together?**  
Yes. Just keep in mind that the batch update works on items that **share the same exact group name**.

**Do I have to use availability groups?**  
No. You can continue to manage availability item by item. Availability groups are there to **save time** when multiple related items change status together.

**Does this work from the Partner app / tablet?**  
Not yet. Batch updating by availability group is currently only available in **Controls (web)**. Partner app support will follow in a later release. Until then, partners can:

- Set up availability groups in Controls now, and
- Use Controls during service to batch‑manage availability.
