Product Low Stock Alert

The Product Low Stock Alert module provides a comprehensive Low Stock Alert System in Odoo with flexible alert levels configurable globally, per-product, or per-category. Visual alerts are shown in both the Inventory and Point of Sale (POS) modules.

Table of contents

Key Features

  • Global Configuration: Define a default low stock threshold across the entire system. If per-product or per-category thresholds are not defined, the global setting will be used.
  • Per-Product Alert Configuration: Configure individual alert quantities for each product variant. This takes the highest priority in the alert hierarchy.
  • Per-Category Alert Configuration: Set low stock alert quantities per product category, applying to all products in that category unless overridden.
  • Low Stock Alerts in Inventory: List and Kanban views of the Inventory show red visual indicators for products below the alert threshold using <decoration> XML and CSS styling.
  • POS Low Stock Alerts: Products that are below the alert level in the Point of Sale (POS) module show a “Low Stock” badge using OWL and JavaScript logic.
  • Dynamic Settings Interface: Admins can select the preferred alert method (Global / Per-Product / Per-Category) using radio buttons. Related fields dynamically appear or hide using the new <visibility> tag (Odoo 17+).
  • Multi-language Translation: All translatable strings are available in English, French, Spanish, Japanese, and German.
  • Version Compatibility: Developed for Odoo 17 Community Edition. Fully tested with Odoo 18 and includes downgrade scripts for Odoo 16 (on demand).
  • Sphinx Documentation and Kopyst Integration: Includes usage documentation, index.rst, and internal onboarding content in Kopyst format.

Summary

The Product Low Stock Alert module improves inventory and sales decision-making by visually highlighting products that fall below specified stock levels. Admins can configure alerts flexibly based on business needs and receive instant visual cues across Inventory and POS modules. The module is lightweight, modular, and easy to extend.
