Reorder Points & Low-Stock Alerts

Set a reorder point on each item and DREAM surfaces low stock on the dashboard as soon as you drop below it.

Quick Answer

Set the Reorder point field on each C&I item. The C&I Dashboard's Low Stock Alerts card surfaces any variant at any location that drops below this threshold.

The reorder point is a per-item threshold below which a stock variant is considered low. It applies equally to every variant of the item at every location.

Setting it up

On any C&I item (C&I → Items), edit the item and set the Reorder point field to an integer (e.g., 10). Save.

From that point on, any stock variant of the item at any location that drops below 10 will appear in the Low Stock Alerts card on the C&I Dashboard.

Where alerts surface

The C&I Dashboard has a Low Stock Alerts card (only visible when inventory mode is enabled). It lists every stock variant below its reorder point, sorted by deficit (largest gap first), with the item, variant, location, current quantity, and threshold.

The KPI strip at the top also shows the total count of items below reorder point so you can spot pressure at a glance.

💡 Tip: Reorder points are uniform across variants — if you have an item with sizes XS through XXL, all sizes share the same threshold. To set different thresholds per size, split the item into separate C&I items per size.

ℹ️ Note: Items flagged as "as-needed" (no replacement) don't need reorder points — they aren't expected to be restocked routinely.
