# Reorder & Levels

Configure reorder points, safety stock, and minimum stock levels to automate replenishment planning and maintain optimal inventory levels.

## Overview

Reorder levels help you:

* Set reorder points for automatic replenishment
* Configure safety stock to buffer against uncertainty
* Define minimum stock levels to prevent stockouts
* Support automated replenishment planning

## Reorder Point

The reorder point is the inventory level at which a new order should be placed. It's calculated as:

**Reorder Point = (Average Daily Demand × Lead Time) + Safety Stock**

### Setting Reorder Points

1. Navigate to **Decide** → **Reorder & Levels**
2. Select a product and location
3. Set the reorder point based on:
   * Average daily demand
   * Lead time (time to receive new inventory)
   * Safety stock requirements

## Safety Stock

Safety stock is extra inventory held to buffer against:

* Demand variability
* Lead time variability
* Supply uncertainty
* Unexpected demand spikes

### Configuring Safety Stock

1. Navigate to **Decide** → **Reorder & Levels**
2. Select a product and location
3. Set safety stock based on:
   * Historical demand variability
   * Lead time variability
   * Service level targets
   * Risk tolerance

## Minimum Stock Level

Minimum stock level is the lowest acceptable inventory level before taking action. It's typically set below the reorder point.

### Setting Minimum Stock Levels

1. Navigate to **Decide** → **Reorder & Levels**
2. Select a product and location
3. Set minimum stock level
4. Configure alerts when minimum is reached

## Maximum Stock Level

Maximum stock level is the highest acceptable inventory level to prevent overstocking.

### Setting Maximum Stock Levels

1. Navigate to **Decide** → **Reorder & Levels**
2. Select a product and location
3. Set maximum stock level
4. Configure alerts when maximum is exceeded

## Automated Replenishment

When inventory reaches the reorder point:

1. System generates a replenishment recommendation
2. Recommendation appears in **Decide** → **Planning Recommendations**
3. You can review and approve the recommendation
4. Approved recommendations can be converted to purchase orders

## Bulk Configuration

Configure reorder levels for multiple products:

1. Navigate to **Decide** → **Reorder & Levels**
2. Select multiple products
3. Use bulk actions to set:
   * Reorder points
   * Safety stock
   * Minimum/maximum levels

## Common Workflows

### Setting Up Reorder Points

1. Navigate to **Decide** → **Reorder & Levels**
2. Review current inventory levels and demand patterns
3. Calculate reorder points based on lead time and demand
4. Set safety stock based on variability
5. Configure minimum and maximum levels

### Reviewing Reorder Levels

1. Navigate to **Decide** → **Reorder & Levels**
2. Review products with reorder points set
3. Check if reorder points are appropriate
4. Adjust based on changing demand patterns

### Using Replenishment Recommendations

1. Navigate to **Decide** → **Planning Recommendations**
2. Review recommendations generated from reorder points
3. Approve recommendations
4. Convert to purchase orders in **Execute** → **Procurement**
