Inventory settings

The Inventory tab under Settings holds the operational defaults: the number that decides when a product is “low,” the toggle that decides whether defective returns get their own bucket, and the scanner field the POS matches barcodes against.

Settings → Inventory — Low stock threshold input, Defect inventory toggle, scan-field configuration, deferred revenue settings, and returns rules

Low Stock Threshold

The first field. Any product whose on-hand quantity is at or below this number gets the yellow Low Stock badge on the Inventory page, the Products page, and the dashboard low-stock tile. Default is 10, range is 1 to 1000, and the description reads: “Products with stock below this number will be marked as Low Stock.”

It’s tenant-level — every device picks it up on the next sync. There’s no UI yet for a per-product override; the schema is ready (the inventory table has a low_stock_threshold column) but the editor isn’t exposed. Pick a global value that errs on the side of warning earlier. Full mechanics live on the low-stock alerts page.

Barcode Scan Field

Under the POS sub-section, this dropdown controls which product field the background scanner matches against: All fields, Barcode, SKU, or Name. “All” is the safest default; narrowing it speeds up matches on large catalogues.

Defect Inventory

Toggle Enable Defect Inventory to route defective items from the return wizard into a separate tracked bucket. With it on, the wizard’s defect disposition lands items on the Defect Inventory page for bulk-routing to a supplier. With it off, defective items fall back to the dispose disposition — written off in the journal entry, not parked for follow-up.
