In Unleashed, each product will have a min and max limit for each warehouse. If the available stock is outside of this quantity, then it will display a stock alert. In AIM, the rate of demand and your strategy for how many days of stock you want to hold will determine the min and max stock limit. For example, if you sell 28 units a month of a product, and you want to hold 1-4 weeks of stock, then AIM will update the min limit to 7 units and the max limit to 28. This is intended to be used with the Reorder Report to help trigger replenishments when the low limit is reached.
