Required inputs
Verify that inventory and supply states use a current date.
- stock by SKU and warehouse
- goods in transit
- average sales
- production and delivery lead time
- minimum order and safety stock
Calculation sequence
Estimate demand until the next replenishment, subtract available and incoming stock, then account for safety stock and supplier constraints.
Shortage and overstock
Shortage removes product availability. Overstock ties up cash and increases storage and discount risk. Both require active control.
SellerStrat workflow
The stocks module connects warehouse stock, goods in transit, problem products and a supplier-order recommendation.
Frequently asked questions
Can I plan using last month sales only?
It is a baseline, but seasonality, promotions, incoming supplies and changing sales pace can materially change demand.
