4.5.4 Items low on stock
The RETAIL7 system tracks stock levels and generates a low stock report if an item's quantity falls below a specified threshold. To enable this function, the "Stock Low Limit" value must be set to a desired low threshold (instead of zero) when adding or editing an item. Navigate through Menu → Master Data → Items → Item List to make this adjustment.
Now, when the stock of this item drops below this value, the item will be displayed in the list as low on stock.
