Can I mix Show Quantity by Product?

I know there are 3 settings and I'm just not getting something right and I can't seem to search up an answer for what I'm trying to do:

A: I'd like to show Quantity Available on Product Pages that are not going to replenished so a customer can see the quantity available to order

B: On Product Pages for items that I order for a customer or that say I have 2 in stock and they order 3 (replenishable product) I have the flag set that tells them the item will be ordered, on those Products I don't want to show the quantity available.

Is this possible?

I found the switch in Admin>Catalog>Product Types and Admin>Config>Product Listing and the one when adding a New Product, tried changing them around but can't seem to hit the right mix to do what I'm trying to do.

Thanks for any help!

One way would be to create/clone the product general type so that you have 2 product types.

The settings for stock are global but you could increase the stock level for the other type products to 100,000 units and then in this product type set qty not to show

Re: Can I mix Show Quantity by Product?

If I used Product:Music for one and Product:General for the other rather than cloning (Brings to mind Dolly with my code experience!) Are there unseen problems with doing that?

Sorry, just realized the Music doesn't allow for Quantity entry on the product page!

Yeah, Unless you need varriant items in the product type it is best to clone the General - info in the wiki about doing this

Re: Can I mix Show Quantity by Product?

Thanks Kobra,

I found the info in the wiki, thanks. With my limited knowledge right now I'll take the "if it ain't broke don't try to fix it" approach :) I'm learning but the old dog has become a slow learner.

Thanks again, have a great day!
