Item Specific Par Level For Inventory Balance
You can set item specific par level for inventory balance in order to get automatic notification in the Par Levels and the Orders functions when the balance goes under the par level. This helps in noticing low balance early enough to order the item before you run out of stock.
Delivery entries increase the inventory balance and withdrawals decrease the inventory balance on Stock Cards.
Setting The Par Level For Inventory Balance
If you want to be able to monitor the par level and receive notification when the balance hits below it, you need to set the par level for the item on the stock card store specifically.

- Open the Stock Card for the item for which you want to add the par level.
- Add the par level in the bottom of the ”Units and prices” tab into the Par Level field.
