Floor-depleted inventory alerts in the Backoffice notify you when a product's sales-floor inventory needs to be replenished from backstock, preventing lost revenue and keeping the product available on online menus.
Things to know
- To enable this feature, go to Settings > Location and check the box for View Floor Depleted Inventory.
- This feature requires the View Inventory and Move Inventory user permissions.
How it works
The Floor-depleted inventory alert banner appears at the top of the Inventory page and shows products that need to be restocked. Click the banner to expand and view details.
Products appear under this banner when:
- The quantity dips below the Replenishment quantity set at the Catalog level on product detail page.
- Or, if no replenishment quantity is set for the product, when the quantity reaches zero in your Sales Floor inventory room and there is more available stock in another room.
Replenishment quantity is different from the Low inventory threshold, which is the quantity below which a product is hidden from online menus.
Inventory managers can quickly restock the product by clicking the Move button and then specifying the quantity to move from a backstock room to the sales floor room, thereby keeping the product available in the Register and online menus. Be sure to also physically move inventory accordingly.
