What is tracked in “View inventory history”
Inventory history will only be tracked if you have enabled the checkbox “Track quantity”. Therefore, it doesn’t work with digital products if you have set your inventory to not be tracked.
- Date – The date of the adjustment.
- Activity – The event that caused the adjustment, such as a transfer or an order. If a staff member caused the adjustment, then their name is listed.
- Unavailable – The inventory that is unavailable after the adjustment.

- On hand – The inventory that is on hand after the adjustment, and that is a sum of your Committed, Unavailable, and Available inventory.
