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

  1. Go to the Product Page and select the Information tab. go to the product settings section of the page and "Manual stock constraints". Here you'll just need to change the value for minimum stock level.
    Don't forget to save in the end.

  2. From the overlay inside a purchase order, select a product and click on the product tab, If you scroll down to Manual stock constraints you'll find the option to change the minimum stock level. 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 product endpoint.

Visit the page 'Import Products' for a template.
