Email Notification When Stock Level Drops Below Minimum?

Describe the bug*

I'm not receiving email notifications when a part's stock level drops below the set minimum, even though email functionality is working, and notifications are enabled in the user settings.

Could this issue (#7866) be addressing the same question?

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set a minimum stock level for a part.
2. Ensure email notifications are enabled in the user settings.
3. Allow the stock level of that part to drop below the minimum.

Expected behaviour

An email notification should be sent when the stock level falls below the minimum threshold.

Alright, I had a notification set on the category, but no notification was triggered on the web interface, nor did I receive an email. When I set the notification directly on the "part," it works as expected. It seems like setting it on the category doesn’t work?

Workflow question: Regarding variants, I would like to receive a notification whenever an individual variant falls below the minimum stock level. If I understand correctly, I now have to activate the notification for each part/variant individually? If I set a minimum stock level on the reference part, a notification is only triggered when the total of all variants falls below the minimum, which makes sense, but how can I receive a notification for each variant without activating them all individually? And setting it on the category doesn’t work at all?

@skydiablo this seems related to these fixes, maybe?

• Notifications fix #8360
• [0.16.x] Notifications fix (#8360) #8361

Could you try to recreate this across a number of different part / category combinations? The notifcation based on subscibred category should be working fine?

[skydiablo]

hmmm, i have try to trigger a new notification, no success :( independed how i subscribe to the part. no notification at all. is there any dependecies how long a state have to be, between add and remove the stock items?

[SchrodingersGat]

For a single given part/user combination, low-stock notifications won't be sent more than once per day. You can try with a different part?

[skydiablo]

• subscribe to most top part category
• crate a new part in the subscribed category (as template = true)
• add a variant
• add a stock
• define minimum limit to the variant (10)
• add stock (10)
• remove stock (5)
  --> nothing happen :(

same as above but remove the category subscription and subscribe direct the variant --> nothing happen :(

You should be able to see if the notification entry has been created, in the admin interface, e.g. http://localhost:8000/admin/common/notificationentry/

(replace "localhost:8000" with your server name)

For example:
