The Buy Route
The Buy route tells CloudFFL that when you need more of a product, it should be purchased from a vendor. This is the standard route for almost everything an FFL dealer stocks.
Setting the Buy Route on a Product
- Open the product record.
- Go to the Inventory tab.
- Under Routes, check Buy.
- Save.
Reordering Rules
You can set up reordering rules to have CloudFFL automatically remind you when stock is low:
- On the product form, click the Reordering Rules smart button (or go to Inventory → Operations → Replenishment).
- Click New.
- Set Minimum Quantity — when stock drops to this number, trigger a reorder suggestion.
- Set Maximum Quantity — order enough to bring stock up to this number.
- Save.
Example: You set a reordering rule for 9mm ammo: Min = 10 boxes, Max = 50 boxes. When you drop to 10 boxes, CloudFFL suggests ordering 40 more.
Tip: Reordering rules are optional but very helpful for products you sell regularly. They prevent stockouts by reminding you to order before you run out.
