Find NetSuite items running low before orders stall
For planners and inventory teams who want a list of low-stock items and where spare stock sits, just by asking their AI assistant.

Connect Oracle NetSuite, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
Shortages show up only when an order cannot ship
Planners scan NetSuite stock reports by eye and often find a shortage only when an order fails to ship. Stock sits by location and bin, so an item short in one warehouse may be plentiful in another, and committed stock is easy to overlook.
Without PopdockAI
- Scan stock reports by eye for low quantities
- Check each location separately for spare stock
- Work out committed stock by hand
- Find the shortage when the order is already stuck
With PopdockAI
- Every item at or below your threshold is listed
- Total on hand and other locations are checked for each short item
- Reorder and transfer candidates are marked, with committed stock noted
- Read-only, so no NetSuite record is changed

**Objective:** List items with quantity available at or below {threshold} (default 10), optionally at one {location-name}.
**Step 1: Location stock**
Call `netsuite-get-itemquantity` with `quantity-available.max` set to {threshold} and, if given, `location-name` set to {location-name}. Note `item-number`, `location-name`, `bin-number`, `quantity-on-hand` and `quantity-available`.
**Step 2: Total per item**
For each short item (up to 25), call `netsuite-get-item` with `item-number` to get the total `quantity-on-hand` across locations and the item `type`. Call `netsuite-get-itemquantity` again with `item-number` to see whether another location holds spare stock.
**Step 3: Report**
A table of item, description, total on hand, short location, available there and where spare stock exists. Flag items short everywhere as reorder candidates and items short in one place but stocked elsewhere as transfer candidates. Where `quantity-available` is below `quantity-on-hand`, note that stock is committed.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* This is a read-only job. Do not call any tool whose name starts with netsuite-add- or netsuite-update-, and never change, create or delete a record.
* Report only what the tools return. Do not estimate or invent figures; if a total is needed, add up the rows you actually retrieved and say so.
* If a read returns the maximum number of rows, say the result may be truncated and suggest narrowing the filters.
* Dates are YYYY-MM-DD. Where an input is blank, use the default stated in the Objective.
**Validation:**
* If a read returns nothing, say so and stop rather than guessing.
* If an input is ambiguous, list the candidates and ask which one is meant.Who it's for
One answer, three teams that use it
Inventory planners
Know what to reorder and what to transfer
Short items are split into reorder candidates and items you can move from another location, so you buy only what you need.
Which NetSuite items have 5 or fewer available anywhere, and which can be transferred from another warehouse?
Warehouse managers
See low stock at your site
Check one location for items at or below a threshold, with committed stock noted, before pickers run out.
Show NetSuite items at the East Warehouse with 20 or fewer on hand, and note any committed stock.
Purchasing teams
Build the reorder list from real stock
Start purchase orders from items that are short in every location, not ones that are only short in one place.
List NetSuite items under 15 units that are short at every location so I can raise purchase orders.
How it works
What PopdockAI does when you ask
You give a quantity threshold, and a location if you like, and your AI assistant checks NetSuite stock. It sorts short items into reorder or transfer candidates and changes nothing.
01
Ask
You give a quantity threshold and optionally one location.
02
Check
It reads item quantities from NetSuite and lists items at or below the threshold.
03
Compare
For each short item it looks at total on hand and stock at other locations.
04
Report
You get a table with reorder and transfer candidates, noting committed stock.
