# Set a material's minimum stock

Set the stock threshold used by low-stock checks for a specific material. An explicit unit check helps keep the threshold consistent with the item's recorded quantity.

Help me update a material's minimum stock level. Ask for the material code and desired minimum, confirm its unit, and prepare the change for my approval.

## When to use it

You have decided on a new replenishment threshold for an item.

## What you need

An existing material, a non-negative minimum stock quantity, and inventory update permission.

## What you’ll get

- The target item and the proposed minimum in its configured unit.

- A reviewable inventory update action.

## How to use it

Open the prompt in Millbase, sign up or sign in if needed, then review the editable draft before sending.

Choose the threshold using your demand and supplier context. Setting a minimum does not place orders or create a replenishment schedule.
