How do I decide the quantities to reorder?

Rewize calculates reorder quantities using forecast, on-hand stock, and lead times.

1.Start from current stock & demand

Open Products to see each SKU’s On hand, total Position (on hand + in transit/production), Cover (days), and Order before countdown. These show how long you last before you must reorder.

2. Check health status cues

Health labels (Out of stock, Overdue, At risk, Reorder, Healthy, Overstock) highlight urgency. Default timing rules come from Settings (e.g., Reorder ~7 days before order date; At risk ~3 days before; Overdue ~3 days after). Overstock defaults to >5× lead-time days before order date. You can adjust these rules in Settings.

3. Create a data-driven PO

In Products, select SKUs → + Create PO → choose the replenishment Location. In the PO timeline:

  • Today = order date.

  • ETA auto-fills from supplier lead time.

  • Drag the cover point to the date you want inventory to last.

Rewize calculates suggested quantities using on hand + position + forecasted demand to hit that coverage.

6. Review & fine-tune in Draft PO

After Create, review the Draft in Orders:

  • See MOQ/batch fit indicators.

  • Check the demand forecast by clicking on the product name. Adjust the view and use your company knowledge to refine the suggested quantities, you know if spikes, drops, or new product launches are expected

  • Adjust coverage to raise/lower all lines with Smart quantities.

  • Inspect Qty, Cover, Unit cost, and projected New cover date per SKU.

7. Approve & send

When satisfied, move the PO forward: Draft → Approved → Sent → Confirmed. Confirmed POs appear in Incoming with expected arrival; update if schedules slip. Once received (or auto-synced), on-hand updates improve future reorder suggestions.

Tips

• Combine ABC class importance (set in Settings) with health labels to prioritize critical SKUs.

• If suggested qty looks off, double-check lead times or forecast horizon settings.

• Big catalog? Filter first, then “Select all in view” before creating the PO.
