No Negative Stock in PoS
Block out-of-stock sales. Keep inventory honest—store by store.
Why this app?
✅ Prevents checkout when stock isn’t available at the PoS warehouse/location.
✅ Optional low-stock alerts with threshold + email notifications.
✅ Can ignore consumables and/or use forecasted (virtual) quantities.
✅ Zero training—protects margin and accuracy instantly.
Quick setup
How it looks
1) Configure at the PoS
Enable Block Out-of-Stock Products and the optional Low-stock Alert with threshold & recipients.
2) Proactive email notifications (optional)
When a product dips under your threshold, notify the right people to restock on time.
3) Hard block when inventory is zero
Cashier cannot validate an order if required quantity exceeds available stock—no more negative stock.
4) Clear toast alert after payment
On successful orders, a toast shows remaining quantity—perfect for quick replenishment cues.
Features at a glance
✅ Block checkout when stock ≤ 0 (per PoS warehouse stock location).
✅ Optional Ignore Consumables & Use Forecasted Qty toggles.
✅ Low-stock threshold with in-app toast + optional email alerts.
✅ Works smoothly with standard Odoo PoS flows.
Before vs After
Before
Cashiers can complete a sale even when stock is zero → negative inventory, reconciliation pain, margin leakage.
After
Checkout blocked at the right warehouse location → clean stock, fewer write-offs, reliable replenishment signals.
FAQ
Does it work with multi-warehouse setups?
Yes. The block uses the PoS picking type’s warehouse location and falls back to the PoS stock location.
Can I ignore consumables?
Enable the Ignore Consumables option in PoS configuration.
Can it use forecasted (virtual) quantities?
Yes—toggle Use Forecasted Qty to use virtual availability instead of on-hand.
