Automation Profile: Low Stock Notification or Reordering

You can create a new Automation Profile or use an existing one from the list.

Below, you’ll find various fields with short explanations for each. Choose the setup that suits your requirements, and contact your Visp Client Success team if you want assistance.

1. Description
   – Input a brief description for the automation profile.
2. Low Stock Qty.
   – Set the number or amount of an item in your inventory. If the inventory falls below a specific level, it can trigger an automated notification or reorder.
3. Low Stock Action
   – Within the low stock settings, you can choose between prompting an automatic order or sending a notification.
   • Order
     – Selecting ‘Order’ will generate a purchase order in Visp to your preferred vendor.
   • Notify
     – The ‘Notify’ option will alert a specified user when stock levels are low.
4. Preferred Vendor
   – You can assign a default vendor when automated orders are necessary due to low stock levels.
5. User
   – Assign a User who will get notified when stocks run low.
6. Automation Profile Type
   – You have three choices
   • Calculated
     – This triggers automatic reordering based on consumption patterns and lead times, but it’s not yet fully configured.
   • Stock
     – This relies on pre-set minimum inventory levels to initiate notification or restocking.
   • Both
     – Combines the two systems, using data analysis and established minimum levels as safeguards for low stocks.
