Overrides
Kapoq applies a settings hierarchy with three levels:
Account Wide (Global)
Inventory Groups
SKU Level
Inventory Group Overrides
Inventory Groups allow you to group SKUs that share the same supplier, warehouse, or operational parameters — such as lead times, reorder frequency, safety stock, and demand forecasts. Assigning SKUs to groups enables Kapoq to deliver more targeted and accurate inventory recommendations.
To create a group: Navigate to Inventory Management → Groups → Add Inventory Group.
Enter a descriptive name and configure all relevant parameters for the group:
Assigning SKUs to Groups
Once a group is created, return to the Manage Inventory tab to assign SKUs. There are three methods:
Option 1 — One by one: Select individual SKUs directly in the inventory grid and assign a group.
Option 2 — Bulk selection: Select multiple SKUs using checkboxes, then use the Actions dropdown to apply a group across all selected items at once.
Option 3 — Bulk file upload: Download the bulk upload file, assign groups in Excel, then re-upload to apply changes.
SKU Level Overrides
Each SKU inherits settings from the most granular level configured. When a specific SKU requires different parameters than its inventory group or account defaults, you can apply a SKU-level override.
There are two ways to apply overrides at the SKU level:
Option 1 — Via the SKU detail panel: Select the magnifying glass icon next to a SKU in the inventory grid, then navigate to the SKU Settings tab to enter new values for Lead Time, Reorder Frequency, and Safety Stock. You'll see the Account Level settings are in grey, those can be overridden by simply typing in a new value. Once added, you can rerun the simulation, or save the new SKU settings. You can also adjust the Daily Demand by going over to the Daily Demand tab in the same view and adjusting the values.
Option 2 — Directly in the inventory grid: Scroll to the far right of any inventory grid and click directly into the Reorder Settings fields for the relevant SKU.
The overridden parameters assigned at the inventory group or SKU level will remain in effect until manually reverted.
