Use Exatouch to manage and monitor your inventory. Use the Inventory work area of Item Details to view and manage your inventory items, set quantity defaults and alerts, as well as manage details about the items you carry in stock.

Set a low level quantity threshold, and optionally trigger an alert when inventory dips below that level. This alert pops up in the Register app as a visual reminder to reorder this item.

  • Note: This article explains how to define low level quantity alerts in the Register app. For low level quantity alerts for Purchase Orders, see: Low Level Quantities for Purchase Orders.
