To avoid running low on stock without any alert, you can actually set the minimum reorder level so when your stock level reaches the reorder point, it's time to order for more stocks!
Go to Stock.
Select Maintain Stock Item.
Fill in the Reorder Level (A)
Fill in the Reorder Qty (B)
See How It Works.
For this item, let's say Reorder Level = 20. When balance quantity is less than 20 unit, saving transaction will prompt a message (Stock Quantity Control) to remind you should place an order.
If you have also set the Reorder Qty earlier, take a look at Stock Reorder Advise Report.
Go to Stock.
Select Print Stock Reorder Advise.
Select On Hand Qty compare to Reorder Level.
Press Apply.
You can have a glance on the stock status below.
#TIPS: To place a purchase order faster instead of typing one by one, you can copy paste the list! Open Purchase Order and Print Reorder Advice Report side-by-side, simply click on one of the item > Hold CTRL + A (Keyboard). Use your mouse to drag from Reorder Advise to Purchase Order screen.
