What improved
Keep the availability message tied to the buying decision.
The business problem
A manually stored Sold Out label can remain after stock returns. A product allowed to sell on backorder also needs a different message from a product that cannot be ordered.
What we changed
Stock labels and ordering controls follow availability and backorder policy, including when stock returns.
What the team can do now
The storefront can communicate stock state using the same availability context as the purchase controls.
Read the actual screen / Existing storefront product
The catalog and product page agree.
SKU 1000242 displays an Out of stock ribbon in the search results. Opening it shows the same ribbon and an Out of Stock message beside the back-in-stock notification option.

What the screen shows
Both real captures show the same availability state for the same product.
What the team does next
A customer can inspect the product and choose whether to request a future notification. No cart or notification action was performed for this capture.
What the next team receives
The customer-facing message stays attached to the product. Source review explains how availability and the continue-selling policy select the state.
How the work moves
Follow the work from one decision to the next.
01
Read website availability
Evaluate the product using the website’s available-quantity source.
02
Distinguish backorder from unavailable
Use Continue Selling policy to choose Backorder or Out of Stock when availability is zero.
03
Preserve useful merchandising
Keep Sale or New ribbons while products are available, while clearing stale stock-state ribbons.
04
Update and audit
Update ribbon information with variant combinations and audit manually stored stock-state ribbons.
Built, used, refined
How the workflow improved over time.
Dynamic availability ribbons
Added website-aware stock ribbons, variant refresh, migration cleanup and a scheduled audit. This is distinct from the fitment-search story: it controls the availability message after a product has been found.
About these dates
Dates identify recorded implementation changes, not claimed rollout dates or measured results. Reviewed revisions: 9a496b6.
Build notes and background
Ecommerce UXInventory logic
The boundaries we made explicit.
Warehouse context matters
A storefront quantity belongs to the website’s stock context, not an arbitrary global on-hand total.
Marketing and availability are different
Promotional ribbons can survive availability changes when they remain appropriate.
An audit is a diagnostic
The scheduled audit warns about manually stored stock-state ribbons; it is not a stock correction.
Existing records are shown as captured. Private identities are covered or outside the crop. No business records were changed for this collection. Implementation history supports behavior beyond the visible screen; a still image is not an end-to-end test or a measured productivity result.
Built on Captivea CAP modules and Odoo. This case describes the subsequent Pro-A-Motors extensions and refinements recorded in the reviewed repository; it does not attribute the original CAP implementation to Toro.
