Low Stock Alerts
Automatic notifications when stock is low
4 min read
When a part drops below its minimum threshold, FreeMaint sends notifications.
Setting Up
- Set 'Min Quantity' on each part
- Enable inventory notifications in Settings
- Choose recipients (ADMIN, WAREHOUSE_MANAGER, BUYER)
Tip
Set minimums based on lead times. If a part takes 2 weeks and you use 10/week, set minimum to 20+.
Tip
For references you track for purchasing or asset BOMs but never keep on hand: open the part, go to Settings and enable "Non-stock item". It stays in the database with its full history but never triggers low-stock or out-of-stock warnings, even at zero quantity. (To only temporarily silence a normal part, select rows in the Parts list and click "Deactivate selection"; toggle "Show inactive" to restore.)
