Non-Replenishable Materials

Control which materials Ply automatically flags for reordering, and which ones you're intentionally running down or phasing out.

Managing Deadstock & Replenishment Efficiently

Keeping your stock accurate means more than tracking quantities, it also means telling Ply which materials should trigger a reorder alert and which shouldn't. Marking a material as non-replenishable ("deadstock") tells Ply to stop generating low-stock alerts for it, even if it falls below its min threshold.

📌 Non-replenishable ≠ deleted. Marking a material as non-replenishable does not remove it from your catalog or stock. It's still there, still assignable to jobs, and still tracked, you just won't get alerts to reorder it.

Common reasons to mark a material as non-replenishable:

  • The material is discontinued or being phased out

  • You're intentionally running down remaining stock

  • The item was a one-off or special-order part not meant to be restocked

How to Mark a Single Material as Non-Replenishable

  1. Go to Stock and select a location (warehouse or truck)

  2. Find the material you want to update

  3. Click the three dots (⋯) next to the material and choose Edit Availability

  4. Uncheck the Replenishable material box

  5. Click Save

Replenishable Status in the Stock Table

You can see and manage each material's status directly from the stock list:
​Here's the table in written format:

Material

Qty on Hand

Min / Max

Relenishable

AC Filter 16x25x1

3

Min 5 / Max 15

✅ Yes — triggers alert

Capacitor 45/5 MFD (old model)

2

Min 2 / Max 8

🔴 No — deadstock

Refrigerant R-22 (discontinued)

1

Min 1 / Max 4

🔴 No — deadstock

Contactor 30A 24V

4

Min 2 / Max 6

✅ Yes — triggers alert

⚠️ Important note: Even though the Capacitor 45/5 MFD is below its min, it won't trigger a replenishment alert; because it's marked as deadstock.

Bulk Editing Multiple Materials

To update several materials at once instead of one at a time:

  1. Go to the desired location (warehouse or truck)

  2. Click Bulk Edit Mode and select the materials you want to update

  3. Uncheck Replenishable material to apply the change to all selected items at once

⚠️ Bulk edits affect every selected item at once. Double-check your selection before saving, it's easy to accidentally mark an active material as deadstock if the wrong item gets caught in a bulk selection.

The Replenishment Chain

Understanding how the replenishable flag fits into your broader reordering workflow

That's it! Now you can easily manage your stock levels and ensure your materials are replenished or marked as deadstock when needed.
