Module Highlights

• Adds Minimum Quantity field on product inventory tab.
• Adds menu: Inventory > Configuration > Low Stock Notification.
• Uses stock.quant (internal locations) to calculate current Quantity On Hand.
• Sends alerts through daily cron with no dependency on reorder rules.
• Recipients are picked automatically from users in group Low Stock Message Send.
• Notification email template is configurable from setup form.

How It Works

1. Set minimum quantity on each product that you want to monitor.
2. Mark users with Low Stock Message Send access right.
3. Daily scheduled action runs automatically and checks stock levels.
4. When Qty On Hand < Minimum Quantity, module prepares alert lines.
5. Configured email template is used and alert is sent to all eligible users.

Step 1: Configuration List

Go to Inventory > Configuration > Low Stock Notification and open the default record.

Step 2: Configuration Form

Configure the notification record with these key fields:

• Email Template: Select the template used for low stock alert emails.
• Email Intro Message: Custom content shown before the low stock table.
• Email Footer Message: Custom closing content shown after the low stock table.

This allows business users to personalize alert text from configuration without editing the locked template structure.
Note: Email Intro Message and Email Footer Message are applied only when the selected template is Low Stock Notification.

Step 3: User Access Right

Open user form in Settings > Users and tick Low Stock Message Send. Only users with this group receive alert emails.

Step 4: Set Minimum Quantity (Product Example 1)

In product Inventory tab, define Minimum Quantity for each item.

Step 5: Set Minimum Quantity (Product Example 2)

Same setup on another product to show independent threshold per product.

Step 6: Set Minimum Quantity (Product Example 3)

Third product example to demonstrate low-stock tracking across multiple products.

Step 7: Daily Scheduled Action

In Settings > Technical > Scheduled Actions, cron runs daily and executes: model.cron_check_low_stock_notifications().

Step 8: Email Alert Result

Final low-stock alert email shows product name, reference, Qty On Hand, minimum quantity and UoM.

Technical Behavior (Current Code)

• Configuration model: low.stock.notification.config (one record per company).
• Product field: product.product.minimum_quantity.
• Template helper for single-variant template: product.template.minimum_quantity_display.
• Stock source: stock.quant with location usage internal.
• Monitored products: active consumable products with minimum quantity greater than zero.
• Recipients: active internal users, email present, in company, and assigned to Low Stock Message Send group.
• Email sending is per recipient and uses selected template from configuration.
• Intro and footer message content are managed from configuration HTML fields.
• No reorder rule logic is used anywhere in this module.
