Thanks for your reply.  The mods sound good.  This will add feature sets that will rival or best that of other ERP/Accounting platforms that are opensource.  Your app is great in structure and the mods will help mature it.  I have one other question for now:  Is there a quick way to import stock counts for each stock item? 

Also, I reiterate my pledge to help out the project.  I am putting this system together as a demo for my small manufacturing company.  If I can present it matured (i.e. the auto-email feature especially), I can promise you a stipend, etc. for your assistance.  I have a couple of people working with me to try to sort out what is the best standard to use for barcoding (the system, the hardware, the import/export, etc).  I will get back with you soon regarding this.  Enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday and thanks for your help and expeditious replies.

Thank you, yes... using MS Excel, Wordpad, and notepad, I was able to import the stock list (over 12000 items).  Worked okay, but I had to import the sql using mysql cmd line (it timed out using phpmyadmin because php had timeout limit).

Please let me know if and what I can do to help develop the auto e-mail feature set.  I am not an expert with php, but can get around just fine with it.

I agree.  A one-time re-order email should be sent to whatever parties selected.  However, even during a stock adjustment (say a damaged item) stock levels may fall below the reorder level, so I would say that the auto reorder email should be triggered no matyter what event causes a drop at or below the reorder level.

Also, since we are sorta on the stock area of inquiry, I was wondering if there is an easy way to mass import a list of inventory items with their parameters.  I am not very literate with SQL commands, but could use an existing SQL file with stuff in it as a model for me to use to import into my MySQL DB.  Do you have one?

I wanted to see if there is a way to get an Auto e-mail when stock order reaches reorder level.  By the way, this is a great webapp.
