Questions about Inventory

[Eric Farnsworth]

Good morning,

I am introducing inventory for the first time to one of our uStore projects.  Everything makes sense to me with the exception of what I'm to do with the field "SafetyQuantity".  How does it relate to the inventory counts and the low inventory trigger?  It seems to define another alert level or something, but I just can't figure it out.  I want to make sure I'm putting a proper number in that field.

thanks in advance,

Eric

Safe quantity should indicate the number that tells you that you can get out of stock soon and that you may order some supplies for example.

I hope it's helps .

Does it cause a trigger for an email to go out?  I guess I was just trying to clearly understand the difference between safe quantity and re-order trigger quantity. 

I suppose it could be considered an optional field?  Or if I wanted to not use it, just leave it all zero?

there is no reorder event

there are events:Inventory Changed and  Inventory Level Is Low

From uStore Documentation:

Safety inventory level - Set the minimum number of items (or packs) that should be always in stock

Fill in a negative number to allow customers to order more items than the on-shelf inventory level. 

Storefront inventory level  : This value represents the number of items (or packs) that are available for purchase in the storefront. 

Storefront inventory level calculation: (On-shelf inventory) - (Safety inventory)

Inventory Changed: A notification is sent every time product purchase. 

if trigger will be configured it can send email or export uSTore details XML , usually used to update other system like company inventory system. usually you configure email send only to the operator or not configure at all.

 Inventory Level Is Low: A notification is sent when the on-shelf inventory reaches the predefined limit. When you update the inventory, the resets and a new 

if trigger will be configured it can send email or export uStore details XML , usually used to update other system like company inventory system. usually you configure email send only to the operator so he will be aware that inventory is low.

As you can see from the documentation
