Quartzy users can easily set a minimum and/or maximum stock level for each inventory item. This way, it's easy for anyone in the lab to see what is running low.
1. To set min and max levels, click on an item, then click Edit Item.
2. Fill in the Min to Stock and/or Max to Stock field(s), then click Save Changes.
Tip: Automatically generate requests for inventory items once their quantity falls to or below the minimum stock level by turning on the Auto-Request When Low toggle. Learn more here!
Once values are added to the min and/or max fields, that info will be displayed in the Qty In Stock column of the lab's Inventory table.
When an item is at or below its minimum threshold value, it’s considered to be in a Low Stock status, which will be displayed on the item. A notification email about the Low Stock status will be sent to the item owner.
You can also choose to automatically generate requests for inventory items once their quantity falls to or below the minimum stock level by turning on the Auto-Request When Low toggle. Learn more here!
You can easily see all low stock inventory items using the Low Stock toggle on the lefthand side of your Inventory module.
The maximum threshold can be used to inform users how much of an item should be ordered when it’s low in stock, as well as enforce compliance with hazardous materials.
