# Inventory Calculation & Locations

The **inventory** transferred to Shopware is calculated based on your configuration.

**Options**

| Setting                           | Effect                                                   |
| --------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Location codes**                | Comma-separated BC locations whose inventory is added up |
| **Use default location**          | Ignores locations and uses a fixed inventory value       |
| **Default inventory quantity**    | Fixed inventory when the default location is enabled     |
| **Upload negative item quantity** | Transfers negative inventory; otherwise 0 is sent        |
| **Upload inventory**              | Master switch for the inventory upload                   |

**Out of stock**

The item field **Out of stock** sets an item to *out of stock* in Shopware regardless of the BC inventory.

{% hint style="info" %}
The **inventory** shown on the item results from the selected inventory settings. For configuration details, see [Inventory Configuration](/shopware/shopware6_en_us/configuration/basic-settings/inventory-configuration.md).
{% endhint %}

**Recommendation**

{% hint style="success" %}
Upload inventory regularly (for example, several times a day) using the Job Queue so that availability in the shop stays up to date.
{% endhint %}

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### How do I define which locations are included in the shop inventory?

In the “Location codes” setting, you enter the Business Central locations, separated by commas, whose inventory is added up and transferred to Shopware. Alternatively, you can use “Use default location” to apply a fixed inventory value independently of the locations.

#### How do I specifically set an item to “out of stock”?

The item field “Out of stock” flags the item as out of stock in Shopware regardless of the actual Business Central inventory. This is useful for temporarily making an item unavailable for ordering.

#### Is negative inventory transferred to Shopware?

Only if “Upload negative item quantity” is enabled. Otherwise, the value 0 is sent to Shopware when the inventory is negative, so that no misleading negative quantities appear in the shop.
