How it’s calculated

Reorder point

The stock level that lasts exactly the lead time plus the safety stock. Once you hit it, it’s time to order — otherwise the shelf empties before the goods arrive.

Safety stock

The supplier is late or sales jump — a few days of stock save you from «out of stock». The less predictable the delivery, the more days to plan for.

Packs and money

If the supplier sells in packs, the calculator rounds the quantity up to whole packs. Add the purchase price to see how much money goes into the batch.

Questions

FAQ

What is a reorder point?

The stock level at which it’s time to place a new order: sales per day × (lead time + safety stock days). For example, 4 pcs a day, 14-day delivery and 5 days of safety stock — order when 76 pcs are left.

How many days of safety stock do I need?

It depends on how predictable your deliveries and sales are. If a product often runs out before the batch arrives, increase it; if it sits for months, reduce it. Imports that can be held at customs usually need a bigger buffer.

What counts as lead time?

All the time from deciding to order to goods ready for sale: payment, the supplier packing the order, delivery and receiving. Not just the parcel’s journey.

What if my sales are seasonal?

Enter last week’s sales or the sales you expect next month, not the yearly average. Order with a bigger buffer before the season.

How do I do this for a hundred products?

By hand it takes ages. In Рекс the «Inventory» report counts days of stock for every product from the last 30 days of sales and lists the ones that will run out soon.
