Product settings

Some settings are stored on an individual product instead of on the account. They are not listed under Admin › Settings, but on the product itself: open the edit page of a product; below the product form there is a Settings card with a tab per setting (for example Inventory: Reorder level). Packing materials have the reorder settings too, on the edit page of the packing material under Admin › Warehousing › Packing materials.

The settings work like account settings, with levels and conditions (see Settings). Products can also be read and changed through the API. For products in general, see Product details.

Reorder level

Key	inventory.reorder_level
Type	Number of units (eaches)
Default	0
Conditions	Location

Reorder level in eaches.

The minimum stock you want to keep of this product at a location (also called the target stock level). Use the Location condition for a different level per warehouse; a level without location applies to all locations.

Whenever an inventory item of the product is retired (for example because it was shipped, scrapped or consumed as packing material), Boxture counts the remaining inventory items of the product with the same status at that location. When that number is below the reorder level, Boxture fires the low stock messaging event. Set up a message template for this event to receive an e-mail when stock runs low. See Messaging.

With the default of 0 the low stock event never fires.

Reorder quantity

Key	inventory.reorder_quantity
Type	Number of units (eaches)
Default	0
Conditions	Location

Quantity in eaches to reorder when product inventory falls below TSL.

The quantity you want to order from the supplier when the stock falls below the reorder level. Boxture stores it with the product per location for use in replenishment overviews; it does not create purchase orders by itself.

Kit to order

Key	kit.kit_to_order
Type	On/off
Default	None (the account setting applies)
Conditions	None

When set to true allow ordering of kit products on order lines to be split in components. The system default is true.

Only relevant for kit products. When set, it overrides the account's Kit to order setting for this kit:

• On: if no pre-built kit is in stock, the kit is split into its components on allocation, and buildable kits count as available inventory.
• Off: only pre-built kits of this product are allocated.

When the product has no value, the account setting is used. See Kits.
