Stock Status Colour Legend

Every stock item listed in the grid has a colour-coded status displayed in the first column. This allows users to quickly and easily see the current stock level status for specific items. The stock status colour legend is not intended to indicate whether stock needs reordering; that is the function of the [ Stock | Reordering ] and [ Sales Invoice | Back Orders (Purchase Ordering)s] screens.

The stock status is based on stock level, not stock available. It lets you see at a glance whether you have stock on the shelves, should a really important customer want some urgently. In such cases, you may wish to unassign stock from other Sales Orders in order to supply the really important customer.

Not Controlled: Khaos Control does not control stock levels for this stock item.
Minimum: the stock level is below its minimum stock level set in [ Stock | Detail | Properties ].
Reorder: the stock level is above its minimum stock level, but below its safe stock level set in [ Stock | Detail | Properties ].
Stock OK: the stock level is above the safe level, or no safe or minimum level are set.
