The problem with manual reordering.

01

Stockouts

Someone forgets to check inventory levels. You run out of packaging supplies mid-shipment.

02

Overstock

Panic ordering after a stockout leads to excess inventory. Cash tied up in supplies you don't need.

03

Manual tracking

Spreadsheets, sticky notes, and tribal knowledge. Someone leaves and the reorder process breaks.

Two calculation methods.

Set min and max levels. When inventory drops below min, Fulfil creates a purchase request to bring it back to max.

01

Quantity method

Set specific minimum and maximum quantities. Simple and predictable. E.g. min 100 units, max 500 units.

02

Days of cover method

Calculate based on sales velocity. If you sold 900 units in 90 days, 10/day. 5-day min cover = 50 units reorder point.

Reorder point types.

01

Purchase

Creates a purchase request when inventory falls below minimum. For items bought from suppliers.

02

Production

Creates a production request for in-house manufactured items. Triggers work orders.

03

Internal transfer

Creates a transfer request to move inventory between warehouses. For multi-location replenishment.

Reorder point workflow.

01

Set levels

Define min/max for each product. Import via CSV for bulk setup.

02

Daily check

Demand planner runs daily. Compares inventory to reorder points.

03

Request created

When inventory falls below min, a purchase request is created for (max − current) quantity.

04

Buyer reviews

Buyer reviews requests and converts them to purchase orders.

When to use reorder points.

Good for reorder points Consider Inventory Planner instead
Packaging supplies (boxes, tape, labels) Finished goods with variable demand
Low-value items that should always be in stock Seasonal products
Stable demand with predictable consumption High-value inventory needing demand forecasting
Raw materials for production Products with long lead times

FAQ

Common questions.

How do reorder points work in Fulfil?
You set a minimum stock level for each product. When inventory falls to or below that level, Fulfil automatically creates a purchase request for the supplier. No manual monitoring required. The system watches stock levels continuously.
What triggers an automatic reorder in Fulfil?
Reorders trigger when on-hand inventory reaches your configured minimum quantity. You can set this as a fixed unit quantity or as a days-of-cover threshold based on your average daily sales rate.
How is days of cover calculated?
Fulfil looks at the last 90 days of sales to calculate average daily consumption. If you sold 900 units in 90 days, that is 10 units per day. With a 5-day minimum cover, your reorder point would be 50 units.
Can I import reorder points in bulk?
Yes. Export your current product list, add min_quantity, max_quantity, min_days, and max_days columns, and import via CSV. This is the fastest way to set up reorder points for hundreds of SKUs.
What is the difference between reorder points and the Inventory Planner?
Reorder points are simple min/max triggers, suited for supplies and low-value items. The Inventory Planner handles varying lead times, seasonal demand, and complex supply chain considerations. Use both together for a complete replenishment setup.
