Reorder Radar & Suggested Par Levels

See which vendors need a purchase order before you run out, and get computed min/max par levels for items that don't have them set yet.

Reorder Radar

Reorder Radar looks ahead, not just at today's stock. An item shows up here when it's projected to fall below its minimum before a purchase order placed right now could actually arrive — on-hand stock minus committed demand, plus what's already incoming, minus expected sales over the vendor's lead time. Go to Warehouse > Inventory > Reorder Radar (only shown once purchase orders are enabled).

Items are grouped by vendor, with the most urgent vendors first. Each item shows on-hand, committed, and incoming quantities, a stock bar against your min/max, daily sales, and a suggested order quantity that refills back up to your max, rounded up to the vendor's order step.

Click Start PO on a vendor's group to jump straight to a new purchase order for that vendor, pre-filled with every suggested quantity — nothing is ordered until you review and submit it yourself.

Use the Lead time override (days) field at the top to see the radar as if every vendor shipped in a different number of days — useful for testing a faster or slower shipping lane before you commit to it. This recalculates urgency and suggested quantities for every vendor at once; it doesn't change any vendor's actual saved lead time.

Reorder Radar only forecasts items that already have a minimum and maximum set. If nothing shows up, it may mean everything's covered — or that you haven't set par levels yet. See Suggested Par Levels below to get started.

Suggested Par Levels

Suggested Par Levels computes a minimum and maximum for every item that's actually selling at this warehouse, based on its recent sales rate, how often it's been in stock, and its lead time — whether or not it already has par levels set. Use the scope filter to show All items, only items Not set up yet, or only items that already Have a policy.

Items with thin sales history get a Low Confidence badge — treat those suggestions as a starting point, not a final answer. Expand a row to see exactly what the suggestion is based on: average sales per day, lead time and where it came from, in-stock percentage, and a sales history chart.

Click Accept to save a suggested min/max — this writes to the exact same replenishment settings you'd edit by hand on the item, so there's nothing else to configure afterward. Use the Settings panel to tune how aggressively suggestions are computed: how many days of demand a reorder should cover, and how much to weigh carrying cost for expensive items.
