Low Stock Alerts
Set reorder points, review the Low Stock list, and create purchase orders to restock.
Go to Inventory > Low Stock in the sidebar to see only items that need restocking.
Items appear here when their current stock falls to or below the reorder point you set. This helps you know when to reorder from suppliers.
Setting a Reorder Point
Reorder points are set per variant, per store:
- Open the row's actions menu (on the Inventory list, Low Stock page, or inventory details) and choose Update Reorder Point.
- Enter the minimum stock level that should trigger an alert. The dialog shows the current stock and warns if the new value would immediately flag the item as low.
- Click Save.
Example: If you set the reorder point for "T-shirt / M / Blue" to 10, it appears in the Low Stock list when stock drops to 10 or below.
Restocking Directly from Low Stock
Turn a low-stock alert into a supplier order in one click:
- On the Low Stock page (or any inventory row), open the row's actions menu and choose Create Purchase Order. The same action is available in the header of the inventory item details page.
- The purchase order form opens with everything prefilled:
- The store is preselected
- The item is added with a suggested quantity, enough to refill up to twice the reorder point (or up to the max stock level when one is set)
- The unit cost defaults to the variant's purchase price
- Pick the supplier, adjust the quantity or cost if needed, and continue as usual.
Note
The Create Purchase Order action appears when your plan includes the Suppliers module and your role can create purchase orders.
