WC Inventory Overview 1.43.0
WC Inventory Overview 1.43.0 — Apply Replenishment Defaults to Variations
Release Date: August 2026
Plugin Version: 1.43.0
Database Version: 11 (unchanged from v1.42.0)
Overview
This release adds bulk Set/Clear for replenishment defaults on a variable product’s variations, using WooCommerce’s existing variation bulk-edit workflow.
You can apply a preferred supplier and/or a default replenishment quantity to all child variations in one action — or clear those fields in bulk. Each variation still keeps its own values afterward and remains independently editable.
This is copy/apply now, not inheritance. There is no ongoing parent-to-variation link, and the variable parent itself does not receive these replenishment defaults from this workflow.
What's new
Variation bulk apply (M26)
- Set preferred supplier across all variations of the product being edited (choose from active eligible suppliers).
- Clear preferred supplier on all variations.
- Set default replenishment quantity across all variations.
- Clear default replenishment quantity on all variations.
- Actions appear in the classic WooCommerce variation bulk-edit menu on the product edit screen.
- After apply, each variation keeps its own meta and can still be edited individually (same as before).
Product limit
- Bulk apply supports products with at most 100 variations. Products with more than 100 variations must have defaults edited per variation.
What this does not do
- Does not create Purchase Orders.
- Does not change stock quantities or product costs.
- Does not invent parent-level replenishment defaults or inheritance rules.
- Does not change Planning or Bulk Draft PO behavior from v1.42.0 — those features continue to use each variation’s own stored defaults.
What to expect after upgrading
- No database change —
DB_VERSIONstays at11. No migration runs. - Existing preferred-supplier and default-quantity settings on products/variations are unchanged until you run a bulk action.
- Inventory Overview, Planning, and Draft PO workflows from earlier releases remain available.
Compatibility
- Requires PHP 7.4+
- Requires WordPress 6.0+
- Compatible with WooCommerce 6.0–8.5+
- HPOS-compatible (High-Performance Order Storage)
Upgrade notes
Back up as you normally would, then upgrade. Because there is no schema change, this is a plain code update.
Roadmap note
v1.43.0 completes the currently scheduled replenishment roadmap. Further ideas (for example advisory concurrency UI, hiding unused parent-level fields, or forecasting) remain optional backlog only and are not scheduled as a next numbered milestone.
