 		or report the error properly?
 		tough one, I'm thinking maybe skip rather than error out
 	
+	Add recurring job and notification about insufficient parts available for upcoming generations
+		totally doable and necessary
+		tricky part is tracking if it's been notified already or not, perhaps a time lock of some kind so it only does it if it falls on a certain threshold??
+		or, perhaps if easiest just add a field to the pm saying it was notified (that is cleared when pm is edited)

 	Quote has it's own status system like workorder does but separate and not related to wo (case 3628, also a customer requested feature on that case)
 		this is a change from v7 where the status for quotes was built in and fixed, now it's user settable same as wo status
 	Option to bring over wiki and attachments to wo when generated from generate wo menu item in quote (case 3178 for attachments, customer requested)
+
 - PM implemented
 	Several cases regarding adding more grand child collections to pm, I added the all for v8 (except part requests)
 	Option to bring over wiki and attachments to wo exposed as fields in the PM header itself so that the server knows whether to include them or not when it generates
 		this differs from the manual "Duplicate to work order" menu item which still prompts for this info from the user for consistency and because of it's ad-hoc nature	
 	Added several specific rule checks to help avoid "Sorcerer's Apprentice" issue where a badly configured PM can result in thousands of work orders being generated	
 		worst case scenario should be no more than 24 work orders generated per day
-	This is complex and there are bound to be some issues with it, but as far as I can tell at the moment it should be better than the old v7 one but time will tell as we test it out
+	Insufficient inventory is handled automatically see the PM help docs for an explanation of how it works.
+	
 - Workorder "Quote parent" / "PM Parent" menu items implemented to open the quote / pm that generated that workorder
 - Workorder / PM / Quote "Duplicate" and "Duplicate to..."
 	All three objects now have a menu option to duplicate to their own or the other two types of objects so you can make a quote into a pm for example or any other combo
