Illustrative calculation. Replace every input with the current data for the same SKU and fulfillment model.
Use five controlled inputs
The recommendation depends on average daily sales, supplier lead time, safety days, sellable stock and confirmed inbound units. Use the same SKU and fulfillment scope for every input.
Calculate target stock before the order
Target stock covers expected demand during lead time and the selected safety window. The order is the positive difference between target stock and units already available or confirmed in transit.
Review exceptions before sending the order
A mechanical result still needs a check for promotions, seasonality, minimum order quantity, supplier packaging and stock that is blocked or unlikely to arrive.
Frequently asked questions
Should goods in transit be subtracted?
Subtract confirmed inbound units that belong to the same SKU and fulfillment scope.
What if the calculation is negative?
The immediate recommended order is zero; review excess stock and the next replenishment date.
