Resolves #4337
Impact: minor
Type: refactor

Issue

Some inventory statuses are confusing and cause issues when trying to easily determine a current status. Inventory also does not correctly update on variants, depending on if a variant has options or not.

Solution

This PR helps to clarify some statuses by adding new statuses, and defining older statuses better. It also fixes the issues concerning out dated inventory numbers on variants that have option children.

• Add canBackorder boolean. canBackorder represents the ability to backorder products: inventoryPolicy === false && inventoryManagement === true. Added to Variants and Options in the Catalog Schema and the Product Schema.

• Better define (via comments) isBackorder as being the current state of backorder, not the ability to backorder (which is canBackorder). Previously inventoryPolicy === false && inventoryManagement === true && currentQuantity === 0, now canBackorder === true && inventoryAvailableToSell === 0

• Depreciate currentQuantity from cart, and add inventoryAvailableToSell and inventoryInStock

• Add inventoryAvailableToSell inventory count to determine how many products are available for sale, i.e. not reserved. inventoryAvailableToSell is updated when a customer completes their order. This field is added on Options, Variants, and Product levels, in both the Catalog and the Products collections. If a variant or product, this is not an input number, but rather a number calculated based of the summed up total of its children's inventory.

• Add inventoryInStock in the Catalog collection. This is an existing field in the Products collection, called inventoryQuantity. This is updated when an operator processes an order.

• Add calculations that automatically update the inventoryAvailableToSell and inventoryInStock numbers on Products and Variants, based on the summed inventory count of it's children. These functions are updateParentVariantsInventoryAvailableToSellQuantity and updateParentVariantsInventoryInStockQuantity. For example, Variant A has children Option A and Option B. In the past, we would stop updating inventory on Variant A, and in the UI show a client side calculation of the sum of inventory of Option A and Option B. This update calculates the sum of Option A and Option B whenever they are updated, and saves the number as an actual inventory number on Variant A in the database. This way we can trust the number we are provided by the data, instead of doing a client side calculation at runtime.

Breaking changes

• Migration 51 has been added to attach inventoryAvailableToSell to all products / variants, to correctly calculate the numbers on parent products / variants, and to publish this data to already published Catalog items.
• currentQuantity has been marked with depreciated in the cart. This isn't a breaking change at the moment, but lays the path to remove this field and replace with inventoryAvailableToSell and inventoryInStock in the future.
• Catalog.getVariantQuantity and ReactionProduct.getVariantQuantity have been removed. Custom plugins using these methods will need to be updated. The same data returned by these methods is now on the object that was being passed into these methods as the field inventoryQuantity or inventoryAvailableToSell
• Moved isBackorder, isLowQuantity, and isSoldOut functions from the catalog plugin to the new inventory plugin. Custom plugins using these methods will need to update their import path.

Testing

• Hook up to the Catalog endpoint via GraphiQL and see that canBackorder, inventoryAvailableToSell and inventoryInStock are present on products, variants, and options on our catalogItemProduct query.
  You can use this GQL query to only see the relevent info and get rid of the noise in GraphiQL:

query {
  catalogItemProduct (slugOrId: "basic-reaction-product") {
    _id
    product {
			inventoryInStock
      inventoryAvailableToSell
      isSoldOut
      isLowQuantity
      isBackorder
      canBackorder
      variants {
        inventoryInStock
        inventoryAvailableToSell
        isSoldOut
        isLowQuantity
        isBackorder
        canBackorder
        options {
          inventoryInStock
          inventoryAvailableToSell
          isSoldOut
          isLowQuantity
          isBackorder
          canBackorder
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

• Add various combinations of products with only variants, only options, etc, and see that the inventoryAvailableToSell is correctly decremented when an order is placed.

• Process the order, and see that the same / correct updates are made to inventoryInStock.
  ** Inventory numbers will be different between the time an order is placed, and it is processed. They should be the same if there are no current orders waiting to be processed.

• When an order is cancelled BEFORE it's approved, only the inventoryAvailableToSell number should be adjusted.

• When an order is cancelled AFTER it's been approved, both inventory counts should be adjusted, IF the user chooses "restock" on the cancellation.

• As a customer, add x products to your cart and complete checkout. Go to PDP as admin, Adjust inventory via the operator UI, and see that the both inventory numbers adjust appropriately on all options, variants, and top level products.

• Hook up to the Cart endpoint via GraphiQL and see that inventoryAvailableToSell and inventoryInStock have been added.

• Migration 51 has two parts: the first adds the new inventory field to the Products collection product, and the second publishes those changes to published catalog products. If you are running Reaction from scratch, this second part will not do anything on the first run, since the Basic Reaction Product isn't published to the catalog by default. The best way to test the second part is to run the app from scratch, go to the PDP and publish the product, then go into Mongo and delete inventoryAvailableToSell and inventoryInStock fields from all products / variants / options inside the Catalog collection. Then, inside the Migrations collection, change the migration version to 50. Then, restart the core docker container.
