These settings only apply when using the stock on back order app.

Use this setting to select the default behaviour for products. Products can either be assumed to be purchasable when out of stock or assumed to not be purchasable when out of stock. This setting acts as a "catch-all" for products that you haven't specifically defined out of stock behaviour for.

The global quantity limit applies to all products that are assumed to be purchasable when out of stock, or where you have marked a product specifically as being purchasable when out of stock, and does not apply to products where you have specifically set an out of stock limit.
