Low In Stock & Days To Order Ability to Manually Set these

loyalbakeware

Hi we required the ability to be able to set our own levels for Stock Central
eg;
We sell 120 pieces per month.
We have 360 pieces in stock which = 3 months stock
We want to make sure we have 9 months stock at the time of ordering
So we will need to order 120 x 6 months (9 mth-3 mth)= 720 pieces

Will we ever have the ability to set this manually?

Also the Low Stock Threshold can we also manually set this in Stock Central so that the Low Stock indicator at the top is showing what we deem as low in stock for how our business model runs?

Hi loyalbakeware

Thanks for your suggestion.

We use our own formula to calculate when an item goes in "low stock". You can read about it here.

If what you want is just to modify the number of days to reorder on that formula, you can do so from ATUM Settings >> Stock Central >> Days to reorder.

However, if you need to use your own formula for the low stock calculation, what we can do is to add a filter to the \Atum\Inc\Helpers::is_product_low_stock() helper, so you can are able to do so within a custom hook.
As this is pretty quick, I've just added it there (before returning the value) and will be available on the next ATUM version.
The new hook is this:

apply_filters( 'atum/is_product_low_stock', $is_low_stock, $product )

Best Regards,
Salva.
