Minimum Stock Level Control
Minimum stock level is the quantity of a product at which you need to pay attention to inventory levels. If the actual stock drops below the specified value, the system considers it critical and highlights it.
Minimum stock control helps you:
- detect products that are running out in time;
- plan purchases in advance;
- reduce the risk of warehouse shortages.
