What “optimised” means in Rewize

When you build a PO, Rewize projects demand over your chosen coverage window (after the supplier lead time) and compares it to what you already have (on hand + position). The gap becomes the starting reorder suggestion for each SKU.

Key inputs Rewize factors

  • Lead time (supplier) – stock must last through this transit/production window.

  • Coverage target – how far beyond arrival you want stock to last.

  • Current stock position – on hand + anything incoming/production.

  • Forecasted demand – expected sell-through in that window.

  • MOQ & Batch size – raises/rounds lines so you meet vendor rules.

  • Price tiers & Shipping thresholds (if set) – shows where buying more may lower unit or landed cost.

How suggestions show up

After you click + Create PO, the Draft PO displays each SKU line with: suggested Qty, current Cover, projected New cover, and MOQ/batch fit indicators. Adjust coverage at the top (bulk) or edit single lines—values recalc instantly.

What you control before approval

  • Change the coverage slider/date to scale the whole PO.

  • Override individual SKU quantities.

  • Edit supplier contact / address (for docs).

  • Export to PDF/Excel/CSV to review offline.

    Click Save, then advance status when ready.

Not included in optimisation

Rewize does not auto-switch to alternate suppliers (same product, different suppliers) or model promo spikes you haven’t reflected in demand. Handle these manually before approving the PO.

Tips

• Filter to urgent SKUs (health, ABC, location) before creating the PO, better in, better out.

• Small top-ups can unlock price breaks or free freight; check the Draft table.

• If qtys look off, confirm lead time and forecast horizon are correct.
