Critical stock levels

Submitted by dadmin on Mon, 30/05/2011 - 10:54

When setting critical stock levels is the critical level:

  1. the level at which an order will be triggerred or
  2. the level below which an order will be triggered. 

For example if I set an ideal level of 2 would I set a critical level of 2 or 1?

Hi Matt,

The use of the critical stock level is determined by the Stock Reorder report and currently this will order stock if 

 (current level + onorder level) <= critical level

So if your current level is 2 and your critical level is 2 and you have none currently onorder it will trigger an order.

The ideal level dictates how many it will order once an order is triggered.

Cheers

Tony
