This feature is available only for companies that track stock in QuickBooks Plus.
A low stock alert is the minimum quantity of a product you want to have on hand. To use low stock alerts, you simply tell QuickBooks how many of a particular product you always want to have in stock. When the quantity on hand drops at or below the low stock alert, QuickBooks reminds you to order more.
For example, you sell a fantastic product called the Super Widget. It's such a popular product that you want to be sure you have enough to meet customer demand. Judging from your sales volume, you know you need to have at least 100 Super Widgets on hand, so you set its low stock alert to 100. When the quantity on hand falls to 100 or below, QuickBooks reminds you to order more.
