Inventory Management
Reorder points.
Automatic replenishment.
Set minimum stock thresholds that automatically create purchase requests. Keep supplies in stock without manual monitoring.
The problem with manual reordering.
Stockouts
Someone forgets to check inventory levels. You run out of packaging supplies mid-shipment.
Overstock
Panic ordering after a stockout leads to excess inventory. Cash tied up in supplies you don't need.
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.
Quantity method
Set specific minimum and maximum quantities. Simple and predictable. E.g. min 100 units, max 500 units.
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.
