Using PAR levels
To help you make great purchase decisions, PAR levels show when you create a purchase order. You will find the PAR levels under the field STOCK/PAR.
The first number is the stock on hand and the second number is the PAR level. If you see a dash in place of the PAR level, it means the level isn’t set yet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the system automatically order once the stock count is below the set PAR level of a product?
