In the 4.2.36 release, many smaller enhancements were done to help mature the product and ensure a better usability for our customers. One of the biggest highlights is fractional inventory. Before, Lead Commerce supported whole numbers only. As of this release, the software supports up to 4 decimal places for inventory. These controls are 100% controlled on the product type. The new controls will also allow for your storefront to allow for partial ordering of quantities as well. By default, fractional inventory is not enabled and will need to be enabled per product type. Please note, to make use of this new feature, the product type must not contain any inventory levels. Feel free to read below of all the changes in this release.
