Why do auto POs primarily pull information from only sales history instead of low stock alerts? It doesn’t seem like there is a point to having this feature otherwise. Due to the nature of my business I sell many small items, but I am not regularly selling the same items from week to week, plus I often have limited edition items that sell well, but I know I won’t restock. This means that Square’s predictions of items that may run out soon are not going to be accurate or helpful. Last week I finally had that time to sit down and add low stock alerts to all of the items from my largest vendor. I expected that when I reviewed the auto PO from this vendor today, all of the items below the threshold would show up. Instead, it pulled in 6 items, 2 of which were items that sold well last week, but were not below the low stock threshold. I still had to manually add the other 91 items I needed to order. Does anyone know if there is a way to generate purchase orders based solely off of low stock alerts?
