So when you do a credit memo in Magento, it sets the stock back to the correct level but does not change the “out of stock” back to “in stock” (if applicable). I came across this post by Wright Creatives (http://wrightcreativelabs.com/blog/55-credit-memo-in-stock.html) and it solves this problem. However, the method is too slow! It takes about 30 seconds per product.
I’ve ultimately had to remove this as a solution (because of the “speed”) and now my boss would like the functionality reimplemented.
I know that the is_in_stock data controls this & I’m wondering if there is already a module out there, an article/tutorial, or someone who can help me get started on a “better/faster” solution.
I know it’s old but because this isn’t yet fixed not even in 1.7.0.1 I came up with a better solution.
Tested on 1.5.1 and above:
\app\code\core\Mage\CatalogInventory\Model\Observer.php
in
public function refundOrderInventory($observer)
