# Stock target

This option allows you to define an inventory management threshold:

This allows you to specify the ideal minimum quantity you want to keep in your inventory. If the actual stock falls below this threshold, this can trigger notifications, depending on your configuration.

Administrators can easily monitor if stock falls below the target stock and plan purchases accordingly.

Example: When a cartridge is created or configured in GLPI, you can set this minimum unit value, for example 10. GLPI then compares the current stock with the target stock. If the current stock is lower than the target stock, GLPI generates an alert.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.glpi-project.org/documentation/tabs/common_fields/stock_target.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
