Every product has the option to use Preferred Stock Level to assist with ordering.

Orchid POS will calculate the difference between your current quantity in stock and the preferred stock level when you add the item to the purchase order cart.

For instance, if you have a preferred stock level of 5 and currently only have 1 of an item, the quantity to order field will automatically display 4 when you add the item to the order cart.

If Preferred Stock Level is not in use on a part's details page, Orchid POS will first look for a number in the Reorder Quantity field and if that is not in use, the quantity to order will default to 1.

  • Office > Inventory > Products > Manage Products; search for the item and click its part number to view part details.
