Where a level comes from

Every size has a reorder level. It is the size's own figure if one has been set, and the facility default otherwise. The default is Default reorder level under Settings › Catalogue & suppliers, which starts at 3.

An Admin sets a size's own level in any of these places:

• The − and + stepper in the Reorder at column of the Sizes panel, on the garment's page.
• Set reorder on the bulk bar of Stock › On hand, which sets one level on every size of the ticked garments.
• Use beside a forecast suggestion in the garment page's Ordering panel (below).
• The Reorder levels template in Settings › Data & audit log, or the optional reorder column of Opening balances. See CSV templates.
• Duplicate copies a garment's levels to the copy.

A level can't go below 0. Once a size has its own level, no screen returns it to the default; set it to the default figure instead. An Issuer sees the levels but can't change them.

When a size is flagged

A size is at reorder when what is on hand is at or below its level. A size is left out while nothing has ever happened to it: no opening stock, no adjustment, no level of its own and no movement. Discontinued garments are never flagged.

The same rule drives every place a flag shows:

• Stock › On hand: the At reorder segment and its count, a low or out mark on the size in the strip, and a N low or N out tag on the garment.
• The garment page: Reorder or Out in each size's Status.
• The rail: the Stock badge counts garments with any size at reorder.
• Today: the Runs out before a delivery panel lists sizes at reorder that are out, or forecast to run out before a delivery, 6 at most.
• Orders: the To order list, where they become lines to order. See the To order list.

On the phone, Stock › Draft order lists the sizes at or below their reorder level that no open order already covers, each with a quantity you can change and its supplier. Raise the draft makes one order per supplier and shows Draft <code> raised. When every short size is on an open order the screen reads Already on order. Committing a count on the phone returns to Today and drafts no order itself.

The forecast's suggested level

The garment page's Ordering panel shows, for each size, a usage figure and a suggested level. It is worked out from issues already recorded:

1. Usage. Garments of that size issued in the last 13 weeks, averaged per week. If none were issued in 13 weeks, the last 26 are used. Pre-loved issues are not counted.
2. Lead time. The supplier's lead time in days divided by 7, or 2 weeks when none is set.
3. Suggested level. Weekly usage × (lead time in weeks + 2), rounded up.

The figure reads like Suggested 12 · 3.1 wk cover · ~4/wk: the suggestion, how many weeks the shelf lasts at that rate, and the weekly rate. With no issues in 26 weeks it reads no usage yet and nothing is suggested.

A runs out before delivery tag appears when the weeks of cover are fewer than the lead time. On the To order list the same size reads runs out before this arrives, which is also shown for a size that is out and has any usage.

A suggestion writes nothing. Use appears when the suggestion differs from the current level, and sets it.

In plain terms The suggestion covers the lead time plus 2 weeks at the recent rate of issue.
