Inventory Items: Re-order Point Email Alert?

Hi, Ecoboy101.

Currently, receiving an email alert for those items that need to be reordered isn't possible in QuickBooks Desktop. You'll want to add the global reorder point to ensure you'll be reminded in the system.

Here's how:

1. Click the Lists tab at the top menu bar.
2. Select Inventory Site List.
3. Right-click the Inventory Site.
4. Select Set Reorder Points.
5. Fill in all of the needed information.

Please visit this article for more information about how you can set up a reorder point correctly in QuickBooks Desktop: Set Up Advanced Inventory.

You'll also want to go to Intuit Marketplace to search for a third-party application that gives email alerts for items that need to be re-ordered.

For future reference, you can run and customize different reports in QuickBooks Desktop to show only the information that you need: Customize Reports In QuickBooks Desktop.

Let me know if you need anything else. I'm here to assist you anytime.

One of the 3rd party inventory management app developers said that they can put  a patch to their current product to generate email as alert. Should you interest to explore, send your email address in a private message. We may introduce you to them.
