Introduction
This article explains how to configure inventory alert policies in TRAEDE. Alert policies define who receives low inventory alerts, how often alerts are sent, and how products are handled when they fall below their threshold. These settings work together with your product replenishment settings.

What are inventory alert policies?

Inventory alert policies determine:

• Who should receive low inventory notifications

• How often emails should be sent

• Which products the policy applies to (default or overridden per product)

Every TRAEDE account must have one default policy. This default is used for all products unless a specific policy is manually selected within the product’s replenishment settings.

Edit an alert policy

1. Go to Settings.

2. Select Inventory alert settings (or Inventory alarm policies, depending on your UI wording).

3. Click Edit on the policy you want to adjust.

Policy fields

Each policy contains the following settings:

Name

A descriptive name for the policy, such as “Default alert policy” or “Footwear alerts”.

Active toggle

• When enabled, the policy is active and can send alerts.

• If disabled, the policy is temporarily paused and won’t send alert emails.

Users to notify

Add the TRAEDE users who should receive email alerts for products using this policy.

Custom email field

If you want alerts to be sent to someone outside TRAEDE, you can enter a custom email address here.

Email frequency

This setting defines how often alert emails are sent.

You can choose options such as:

• Every day

• Weekdays only

• Once a week

This determines the schedule for TRAEDE to send out low inventory updates.

“Only alert once” setting

This option controls how often TRAEDE alerts you about the same product when it remains below the threshold.

• Enabled (recommended):
  TRAEDE alerts you once, the first time the product goes below the threshold. It will not alert you again until stock rises above the threshold and drops again.

• Disabled:
  TRAEDE alerts you every day as long as the product is still below the threshold.

Using multiple policies

You can create as many alert policies as needed.
Examples:

• A specific policy for certain product categories

• Separate policies for different departments

• One general policy for all products

If no specific policy is assigned to a product, TRAEDE always uses the default policy.

Overriding policies per product

Products can override the default policy within their Replenishment tab.
