With the maximum stock quantity field, users can set, see, and report on the maximum desired quantity of parts from reports or Analytics.
Maximum quantity (max qty) records an upper stock limit so that users who do purchasing can consistently order the desired stock quantity. If there is no max quantity set, the default value remains blank.
Max quantity appears in the Stock, Work Order, and Work Order Log explores in Analytics. It's also viewable in reports and can be updated via the API.
As a column header it can be found on the Current Stock page (Supplies > Current Stock) and the Parts and Supplies (Supplies > Parts and Supplies) page, but will require the user to set this field to visible. The Inventory Depletion notification template can include max quantity as an available field if needed as well. Max quantity is not available on mobile.
To add a maximum quantity value to a part:
- Navigate to Supplies > Parts and Supplies.
- Choose the part to change.
- Under the Stock tab, in the Stock Levels Per Location section, click the Add New symbol:
- Input a valid number in the Max qty field:
