Disable Magento 2 MSI, use default inventory manager

In Magento, you can remove the advanced Multi-Source Inventory and inventory reservation system by disabling all MSI-related Inventory modules. Here is a simple step-by-step process:


Prepare:

Back up your database.


Disable:

bin/magento module:status --enabled | grep '^Magento_Inventory' | xargs bin/magento module:disable


Recompile Magento:

  1. bin/magento setup:upgrade
  2. bin/magento cache:clean
  3. bin/magento setup:di:compile
  4. bin/magento indexer:reindex
  5. bin/magento cache:flush


That's it. After the site recompiles, there will be no more multi-source inventory or inventory reservations. Magento will revert to its basic inventory system, which is sufficient for most implementations without extensive ERP integrations.
