Get alerts for low or out of stock products

Learn how to set up alerts for low or out of stock products in QuickBooks Online Plus and Advanced.

Do you track your products’ quantity on hand? Set up reorder points to keep tabs on your inventory. A reorder point is the threshold when you should reorder more of an inventory item. QuickBooks uses reorder points to let you know what’s running low and what’s out of stock. We’ll help you set them up, so you’ll always have what your customers want. Here’s how.

Set up your products’ reorder points #

You have two ways to set up your products’ reorder points.

  • If you have new products, you can enter reorder points when you add what you sell in QuickBooks.

  3. Select Edit ✎ in the Action column.
