How to Set Up Low Stock Alerts in BillClap

Low stock alerts tell you when a product is running out, so you can reorder before you lose a sale. You set a warning level for each product, and BillClap highlights every item that falls to or below it.

Step 1: Open Inventory

  1. Go to Products › Inventory.
  2. At the top you will see the Low Stock card, which shows how many products are running low.
  3. In the product list, quantities at or below the warning level are shown in orange.

Step 2: Turn On the Low Stock Warning

  1. Open Product Settings.
  2. Switch on Show Low Stock Warning.
  3. Click Update Settings.

Step 3: Set the Warning Level for a Product

  1. Open the product you want to track and click Edit.
  2. Go to Additional Fields.
  3. Enter a number in Stock Warning, for example 10. When stock drops to 10 or less, the product is flagged as low stock.
  4. Save the product.
Edit Product Additional Fields with Stock Warning set to 10

Step 4: Restock and Adjust

  • Use Stock In on the Inventory screen to add stock you have received.
  • Use Stock Out to remove damaged or used stock.
  • Stock also updates automatically when you create sales and purchase invoices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I have to set a warning level for every product?

No. Set it only for the products you want to track. Products without a Stock Warning value are not flagged.

Q: Why is a product not showing as low stock?

Check that Show Low Stock Warning is on in Product Settings and that the product has a Stock Warning value in Additional Fields.

Q: Does the alert remove the product from sale?

No. It is only a reminder. You can still bill the product.
