Stock indicators show when a product is low on stock or out of stock. The indicators help to reduce back-orders. They also focus sale teams to sell stock that is available in the warehouse, or allow them to call and check before selling products that are low in stock.

Note: Field users need only understand what the indicators mean. Any changes to base settings must be made by your system's Opmetrix Administrator. 

Low or out of stock products can be indicated within the Opmetrix App. The indicators are displayed whilst in Product List mode or Product Image mode.

An orange flag shown against a product will indicate that a product is low in stock, whilst a red flag shows that a product is out of stock.

List Mode

Image Mode

The minimum values against which products to show as low or out of stock are settings that can be configured.
