Low Stock Alerts
See low-stock risk early through inventory availability and forecasting views. The current implementation focuses on operational visibility and replenishment planning rather than a standalone email or notification rules engine.
Low Stock Alerts
Current implementation status
The codebase does not currently contain a dedicated low-stock notification engine with configurable thresholds, email alerts, or push notifications.
What is implemented today is the operational layer that teams use to spot low-stock situations: current available stock on inventory rows, forecasted available stock in the forecasting module, and purchase-order workflows to replenish what is missing.
How teams detect low stock today
Low-stock management is currently driven by visibility in the inventory and forecasting screens.
Available Quantity on Inventory Rows
The inventory list shows per-location available stock beside total quantity, reserved, ordered, and sold values, so low availability can be spotted directly while managing stock.
Forecasted Available Stock
The forecasting table calculates forecasted available quantity and visually highlights problem rows when projected stock falls to zero or below.
Required Purchase Quantity
Forecasting also computes forecasted purchase quantity, making it clear how much stock should be replenished to cover the chosen forecast period.
The practical workflow
Review current stock
Users inspect quantity and available figures by product and location from the main inventory table.
Check projected shortages
The forecasting screen can be recalculated for 7, 14, 30, 60, or 90 days, then filtered by supplier or brand to identify items at risk.
Create replenishment work
Once low stock is identified, teams use purchase orders to request new stock, track receipt, and update available inventory on fulfillment.
What is already there
Available stock, forecasting metrics, and purchase-order replenishment are all implemented and connected to real inventory data.
Solution:
Use forecasting as the current early-warning surface for low-stock risk.
What is not in the current code
I did not find configurable low-stock thresholds, recurring alert jobs, or outbound notification delivery dedicated to low-stock events.
Solution:
This feature should be understood today as stock-risk visibility, not automated alert distribution.
Need better low-stock visibility before a notification layer is added?
Use Indexed PIM forecasting and inventory views to identify shortages early and route replenishment through purchase orders.
