      Tip: Did you know you can also set a low stock reminder?

      Creating a low stock reminder can be useful to avoid the unwanted “out of stock” situation. You can easily set the reminder by checking off the box next to "Create a low stock reminder" and indicating your alert amount.

      • When the reminder is triggered, you and your teammates will see a bell icon bell next to the item this reminder is assigned to.
      • A warning icon in the item’s row will appear if the item reaches your indicated alert amount.

      Editing the item’s stock 

      • “Add” operation adds the entered value in the Amount field to the existing stock.
      • “Remove” operation subtracts the entered value in the Amount field from the existing stock. At the bottom of the window, you can see a preview of changes.
