What
do I need to do when I get the “Time to Reorder! Quantity of
# is Below Minimum Stock” message? |
Have you ever
wondered why the pop-up message, “Time to Reorder! Quantity of # is Below
Minimum Stock,” occasionally appears when creating an invoice in the Sales
Invoice Form? This warning is an indicator that the inventory item is
below the minimum quantity you are required to keep on-hand, and that
it is time reorder.
You can view
or change the minimum stock required for an inventory item in the Inventory
Information Form.



Select the appropriate
charge code and (F5) zoom to the Inventory Information Form. You may alternately
click on the Inventory Info button to zoom to the form.

If the Minimum
Stock amount is too low or high, you can change this number once you are
in modify mode. If the amount is appropriate and you are receiving the
Time to Reorder message, you will need to order and receive product through
the Purchase Order Information Form. For additional assistance with the
Purchase Order Information Form please call our Magic Support Help Line
at (866) 730-7115.
The Inventory
Information Form not only shows the Minimum Stock and Reorder Quantity,
but it also gives you other valuable information about the item such as
the Last Purchased Date and the Cost charged by the vendor. This Stock
Status information can be quite useful when placing orders with your vendor,
and the Vendor History button even shows you the contact phone number
for your vendor. The complete Sales, Receipts and Adjustments for the
item can be accessed from the respective buttons.
Please note that
all fields in red are calculated by Magic and cannot be modified by the
user.
TIP: It’s
a good idea to run a monthly Inventory Reorder Report (Report Option
3) to view items that are at or below their minimum stock amounts.
