Setting Reorder Points and Safety Stock

Reorder Points and Safety Stock

InvenPro uses two key thresholds to trigger restocking alerts and purchase orders.

Key Terms

• Reorder Point (ROP) — the stock level that triggers a replenishment alert. When on-hand stock drops to or below ROP, InvenPro alerts you to reorder.
• Safety Stock — a buffer quantity kept to cover unexpected demand or supplier delays. It is the minimum stock you never want to go below.

Formula

Reorder Point = (Average Daily Sales × Lead Time Days) + Safety Stock

Example: You sell 10 units/day. Your supplier takes 7 days to deliver. Safety stock = 20 units.
ROP = (10 × 7) + 20 = 90 units

Setting ROP Manually

1. Go to Products → Product Catalog → open a product
2. In the Stock Settings tab, enter: Reorder Point, Safety Stock, Reorder Quantity
3. Click Save

Auto-Calculate with AI

Go to Products → Velocity Bands → select products → click Auto-Calculate ROP. InvenPro will calculate based on your actual sales history and average supplier lead time.
