Based on item purchase options from device assignment and actual quantity in stock, item can be identified with one of three stock states. Each stock state helps to indicate if item is available in required quantity. These item states are visible in item overview, reporting and BI and REST interfaces. Based on critical state of item, system can trigger additional actions to notify administrator about the state on following places:
- Item notifications – Bellow critical quantity
- Widget showing number of items bellow critical quantity
- Alerts for purchase orders showing if order contains item at critical quantity
- ItemStatus REST interface, BellowCriticalLevel (if item is marked as critical for all devices where it is assigned)
Item state is always valid for one device. If item is assigned in more devices, state can be different for each device.
OK – item quantity in stock is higher than 120% of threshold
ALERT – item quantity in stock is between 120% and 100% of threshold
CRITICAL – item quantity in stock is at or bellow the 100% of threshold. Threshold is calculated using order point and critical quantity set on item detail.
For durable items, system also consider quantity in stock (excluding picked items) comparing with minimum quantity.
