Stock threshold alerts

A stockout is a lost sale. SynkriaOps watches your quantities and alerts you as soon as a product drops below its threshold, so you order at the right time, neither too early nor too late.

The three thresholds

Threshold	Role
Minimum threshold	Below it, the product is flagged “in alert”.
Reorder point	The level that triggers a replenishment, accounting for supplier lead time.
Maximum threshold	The quantity not to exceed (capital or space limit).

How to set the reorder point

A simple rule: reorder point = average consumption during the lead time + a safety margin. If you sell 10 units per week and the supplier delivers in 2 weeks, a reorder point around 25 units leaves a comfortable buffer.

Configuring a product’s thresholds

1. Open the product page (stockable good) → Thresholds action.

2. Enter the minimum threshold, the reorder point and the maximum threshold.

3. Save. Monitoring is immediate.

Where the alerts appear

• Stock dashboard: a banner lists the products in alert, sorted by criticality (stockouts first). Click a product to open its page.
• KPIs: the number of references in alert and the number of stockouts are shown at the top of the module.
• Mobile: the stock cockpit shows the same alert banner, sorted by criticality, with direct access to the product concerned.

Expiry

Beyond quantity thresholds, SynkriaOps also tracks expiry dates: expired or soon-to-expire products are flagged separately, useful for food and sensitive goods.

Acting on an alert

Faced with a product in alert, two reflexes:

1. Replenish: record the supplier order; the stock inbound will bring the product back to green.
2. Check: if the alert seems unjustified, an inventory confirms the real quantity and corrects any gap.
