Note: When setting a limit for a specific product, especially when you have a limited stock (e.g., leftovers), it’s important to manage the limit correctly so users can see how many items are available.
Key points to consider
Daily Limit Adjustment: The product limit decreases as orders are placed throughout the day. For example, if you start with 20 items and sell 5, and later decide to change the limit to 10, you must account for the items already sold.
In this case, subtract the sold items (5) from the initial stock and adjust the remaining available items. You would then update the product limit to reflect the total stock (sold + available).
User Visibility: The product limit will only be displayed to users when there are 10 or fewer items left. This means that until stock drops below 10, the exact number of remaining items won’t be visible to users.
By managing these limits carefully, you ensure users get a clear view of remaining stock, preventing overselling and ensuring smooth operations.

If the product is used across multiple modules, you can choose whether the limit should apply to all modules or only to the module where you create the limit.
Then select which locations/sites the product limit should apply to.
