Automated Business Central Reorder Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens Business Central, reads the item list with quantities on hand and on order, finds anything at or below its reorder point, works out how many days of cover remain from recent sales, posts the reorder list to your Microsoft Teams operations channel, and pings you on WhatsApp about critical lines.
How do I get alerted when stock drops below its reorder point?
WebRun opens Business Central every morning, reads quantity on hand against each item's reorder point, and estimates days of cover from recent sales. It posts the reorder list to your Microsoft Teams operations channel and pings you on WhatsApp only when an item is critically low with nothing on order.
- Falling lines are named days before they hit zero
- Items already on order are separated so nothing is ordered twice
- Only genuinely critical stock reaches your phone

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it raise purchase orders or contact suppliers?
No. WebRun reads item quantities and reorder points and reports them internally. Raising a purchase order or emailing a vendor stays a decision a buyer makes by hand.
Does it double count stock already on order?
No. Items with an open purchase order are listed separately from items with nothing coming, so the team never orders the same line twice.
What makes an item critical?
Less than 5 days of cover at its recent sales rate, with no stock on order. You can change that window, and non-critical items still appear on the Teams list.
