> Low Stock Alerts for Oracle ERP Cloud stores. Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre. How to read it, why it matters, and how to act on it.

**Metrics type:** [Supporting Metrics](/nerve-centre/overview#metrics-types-explained)  •  **Category:** [Ecommerce Platform](/nerve-centre/connectors#connectors-by-type)

## At a glance

> SKUs with on-hand quantity below the reorder point in Oracle Inventory Cloud Min/Max planning. The forward-looking shortage list.

|                    |                                           |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| **What it counts** | `WHERE on_hand < reorder_point` per item. |
| **Currency**       | n/a (count + units).                      |
| **Time window**    | Real-time.                                |
| **Alert trigger**  | `any below reorder point`                 |
| **Roles**          | owner, operations                         |

## Calculation

Calculated automatically from your Oracle ERP Cloud data. See the At a glance summary above for what the metric tracks and the worked example below for a typical reading.

## Worked example

84 SKUs below reorder point. Top 5 high-priority (high velocity, low cover):

| SKU      | On hand | Reorder pt | Days cover |
| -------- | ------- | ---------- | ---------- |
| WIDGET-A | 24      | 100        | 2          |
| GADGET-B | 8       | 50         | 3          |
| DEVICE-C | 0       | 30         | 0 (OOS)    |

Five things: (1) prioritise by days-cover, (2) auto-PO via Oracle Procurement if configured, (3) check supplier lead time, (4) communicate to Sales for substitution if stockout imminent, (5) cross-reference [OOS with Open SO Demand](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/oracle-erp/oos-with-open-sales-order-demand).

## Sibling cards merchants should reference together

| Card                                                                                           | Why pair                |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| [OOS with Open SO Demand](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/oracle-erp/oos-with-open-sales-order-demand) | Already-OOS list.       |
| [Inventory Sync Drift](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/oracle-erp/inventory-sync-drift)                | Commerce-side mismatch. |

## Reconciling against the vendor's own dashboard

**Where to look in Oracle ERP Cloud:**

> **Inventory → Manage Item Quantities** filter below reorder
> **Planning → Min-Max Planning Report**

**Cross-connector reconciliation:**

Internal Oracle metric.

## Known limitations / merchant FAQs

**Reorder point logic?**
Per Oracle Min/Max planning configuration: typically `lead_time_demand + safety_stock`.

**Multi-warehouse?**
Yes; per-org alert.
