Is there a way to generate alerts using low-code? For example, if an item on SO Line is being sold for less than the cost of the item?

Hello, 

In Stock Items screen, Price/cost tab, are you using Minimum Markup % field? 

When Minimum Markup is populated, not 0, Acumatica will throw an error when the price entered is too low on a Sales Order line. Acumatica will revert the entered price and the user is not able to enter a price that is too low (can’t enter a price that is below the minimum markup for that item).

No Code needed, no customization needed.

@Laura02  I tried this and was able to enter a line well below the mark up % am I missing a setting? I also made sure the warehouse had the same % set. 

 

SO Line

Yes!  With Validate Minimum Markup set to Warning, you will see a warning. With Set to Minimum, you will see this message when trying to enter a price that is less than minimum markup:

Item has 16% minimum markup and last cost of $100

When I entered a selling price of $105:

Acumatica replaces my entered price of $105 with the mimimum price.
