Low Stock Alerts

The Inventory page counts products with 2 units or fewer so you can reorder before a repair is stuck.

Where to see it

Open Inventory.
The amber tile Low stock (≤ 2) shows how many products qualify.
Click the tile to filter the list to those products only. Click again to clear.

The marketing dashboard on expedite.business describes this as live stock value and low-stock alerts. In the app, the working control is this tile + filter — not a separate email/WhatsApp alert centre.

What counts as low

A product is counted when:

Stock is a real quantity (not unlimited), and
Units on hand are 2 or fewer (including 0), and
The product is active (inactive rows are skipped).

Stock -1 (unlimited / service) is never low stock and is not added into "units in stock".

While you are viewing Status: Inactive, the Low stock tile is switched off — inactive products never raise reorder warnings, so the filter would promise a signal the app does not produce.

Fixed threshold The cutoff is 2 units in the Inventory UI. There is no per-product "reorder point" field on the spare-part form. If you need a different cutoff, filter the list yourself or export CSV.

What to do next

Edit the product and raise stock after a purchase (logged as an adjustment in stock history).
Or receive stock via your usual purchase/expense flow if you record supplier bills that way.
Jobs waiting on a part should use workflow status Waiting parts — see Status pipeline.

Low-stock counts are per branch. Switch branch (or open another location's catalog) to see that shop's shelf, not a company-wide pool. See Multi-branch inventory.
