Check low stock for register items

See which products and parts are low, critical or out of stock, how much is on hand against the reorder point, and what recent counter sales moved the stock.

In the sidebar, open Inventory, then Low Stock. The page address is /inventory/low-stock. The page heading reads Low stock.

This page is a watch list, not a stock ledger. It lists every product or part that has a Reorder point and whose stock on hand, added up across your locations, is at or below it. Reorder points are set on Products & Parts (Add a product or part); counts are made on Stock Counts and single corrections on Movement History. The tabs All products & parts, Sell at counter and Low stock at the top switch between three views of the same items.

Before you start

• Your role needs inventory lookup for the register. Ask your admin if the page shows an access message.

Steps

1. Read the three counts above the list: Locations, Movements (register sales and returns) and Low stock (how many items are at or below their reorder point).
2. Type into Search low-stock item name, SKU, or severity, or open the Filters panel and pick a Severity: All severity, Out of stock, Critical or Low.
3. Press an item, or choose Inspect from its row menu. A panel opens showing On hand, the Reorder point and the item's Severity.
4. Read Recent POS-linked movements to see the latest counter sales and returns that changed the count.
5. When it is time to reorder, open a supplier purchase order for the item. See Create a supplier purchase order.

What you see

• Each row shows Item, SKU, On hand, Reorder point, Gap (how far below the reorder point it is) and Severity. The list starts with the biggest gap. Columns adds Recent movements.
• Severity reads Out of stock at zero or less, Critical at half the reorder point or less, and Low otherwise.
• Open in Sell at counter in the panel goes to the item's register settings (see Prepare an item for the register). Open inventory item opens the item on Products & Parts, and View stock ledger opens Movement history.
• The Sell at counter button at the top opens the register settings, POS lane opens the register, and Products & parts and Movement history above the list open those pages.

If something looks different

• The list reads "Nothing is running low right now.": no item with a reorder point is at or below it. If a filter is on, press Reset filters.
• An item you know is low is missing: it has no reorder point set. Open it on Products & Parts and set one.
• The Low stock count is higher than the rows you see: the list shows at most ten items. Work through them, or use Products & Parts with the Reorder point column to see the rest.
• The on-hand count looks wrong: a sale outside the register, a delivery or a count may not be recorded yet. Check the Movement history.
