I can't quite put my finger on how to word this...I know it has to do with the lower limit of storage, but everything I seem to come up with sounds a bit awkward so far. Here is the sentence:
Gestion des stocks en fonction des fournisseurs (point de réapprovisionnement automatique ou avis de stockage à la limite inférieure).
Gestion des stocks en fonction des fournisseurs (point de réapprovisionnement automatique ou avis de stockage à la limite inférieure).

I've a feeling you may find this is a dedicated term in EN.
Here's one of very few Googles that mention this:
Using the WINSTOCK System
...You can change the figures later anytime. Also fill in the Upper
Limit and Lower Limit stock levels. The Material Made ...

Note that in this particualr instance, I believe that 'stockage' really does mean 'stock(ing)', and not (as more usually) 'storage'
It's a 'stock lower limit' warning

I\'ve come across both systems: (semi-)automatic re-ordering once a certain intermediate stock level is reached (OK where supplier lead-times are known and reliable) or a simple warning for manual re-ordering as soon as the minimum stock level is reached (many systems for efficiency strive to keep stocks see-sawing between a min. and a max. level) --- this is riskier, but used for things like Just-In-Time engineering, etc...

Discussion
Yes, OF COURSE, it is a notional 'point' at which you should restock --- a 3rd possibility that I'd overlooked!
I do agree with you that "stockage" is "stocking" and not "storage".
How do you interpret that 'point de...'? At first I thought it meant some kind of terminal, but now I wonder if it isn't just (NO...) as in the common 'ne... point...' usage?
