The minimum stock represents the 'desired lowest quantity' of a product in your warehouse. Optiply will always increase your stock to at least that level when we purchase a product. The purchase advice for a product might also be higher, but never lower than the minimum stock.
If you would like Optiply to automatically plan extra order moments when your stock is below the minimum stock for a product, activate the 'Backorder Feature'. We plan an order moment when a stock level gets below the minimum stock, and the order conditions are met.
Set a minimum stock
Take the following steps to setup
Click the 'product 'on the Products page
In the overlay, go to 'Product Settings' → 'Minimum Stock Level' and fill in the desired stock level for that product. Don't forget to 'Save' in the end.
You can update the minimum stock for a product over our Public API. Minimum stock is an attribute on the products endpoint.
