The Miva Corp inventory management system for Merchant 4.0 has resulted in numerous stores having their shelves temporarily cleared. As customers place products in their baskets, the store inventory level is decremented. If the customer decides not to buy at that time and leaves the store, the products in that abandoned basket remain unavailable. When the store owner manually deletes expired baskets in admin, those basket contents are reclaimed and the products are placed back in the store inventory. Stores which have one-of-a-kind or low inventory levels of products are significantly impacted as the products are not available for purchase by other customers until the store is manually restocked. Stores which have high traffic are similarly impacted when many baskets are abandoned. This module eliminates the need for the store owner to manually restock. At a frequency determined by the store owner, this module will reclaim the expired baskets and restock the shelves. This module may not be required in future versions of Miva Merchant as a similar fix has been requested through the Miva Corp wishlist. This module is for Merchant 4.0 and is compatible with both the MMUI and OpenUI. Editing of mv files is NOT required.

The need for a this module readily became apparent after using the Show Baskets module which identified what customers were leaving in abandoned baskets and how frequently they did that.
