Does Skuvelo send stock or reorder alerts?
Skuvelo alerts you in the app and by email when an item will run short before a new order could arrive. Here's what triggers it, what doesn't, and where to check the numbers yourself.
Short answer: yes, in the app and by email — not by text. When an item's projected stock falls below its safety buffer sooner than a new order could arrive, the people your workspace chooses get an alert with the SKU, the date to order by, the order quantity and the cash that order needs.
What does not alert
An item that is Covered (stock and open orders last through the plan) does not alert. An item with an order-by date more than three days away is listed in Plan → Replenishment; it alerts when that date is within three days. Stock on an order that is on hold, or whose supplier's proposed change is still waiting on your decision, is not counted as cover.
Turning it on or off
The alert is on by default. Owners and admins choose who receives it, and whether it arrives by email, in Settings → Notifications. The alerts and notifications guide covers every alert, the daily digest and quiet hours.
If you want more warning
Raising an item's Safety-stock floor (see the reorder points and safety stock guide) raises the buffer, so the item reaches its order-by date, and the alert, sooner.
