Low inventory alert at customer order entry

HI @eknock007,

One approach that you could try is to use the safety stock feature. So, you can use the Material requirement planning messages to see if the safety stock limit is reached somehow. 

For your exact requirement (notify when a single CO is consuming 25% of the available stock) I think you might look in to the possibility of a modification. 

Hope this helps.

Hi @eknock007 ,

You could also create a custom event when the line is saved, that compares the Available Qty in the line with the Sales/Inventory Qty and trigger any kind of notification or send email to someone.

Hi @eknock007,

Is the business requirement only for visibility to a different department or are you expecting additional logic to be executed (i.e. a line can’t be saved or alternative quantity is suggested, etc.)?

Thanks your answer. What functionality would you use to trigger an email based on an event. In our old system we used to just that to send an alert email to specific individuals. In IFS we do schedule reports to go periodically (daily or multiple times per day) via email but I would like to know how to setup an event (I would assume it’s a transaction event) that will trigger an email to go out.
