When on-hand stock falls to or below this level, Zoho Inventory alerts you (or automatically generates a purchase order if auto-reorder is configured) so the replenishment arrives before the stock runs out completely.<\/p>\n<h2>Calculating a Reorder Point<\/h2>\n<p>A simple reorder point formula is: Reorder Point = (Average Daily Usage \u00d7 Lead Time in Days) + Safety Stock. For example, if you sell 20 units per day and your supplier takes 5 days to deliver, you need to reorder when you have 100 units left (plus whatever safety stock buffer you carry).<\/p>\n<h2>Reorder Point vs Safety Stock<\/h2>\n<p>Safety Stock is the buffer inventory carried above the minimum needed \u2014 the extra cushion for demand spikes or supplier delays. The Reorder Point includes the safety stock: it is the level at which you must reorder to ensure you never dip below your safety stock before new inventory arrives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Reorder Point in Zoho Inventory is the minimum stock level at which a purchase order should be triggered for an item, preventing stockouts by ensuring replenishment is initiated before the inventory runs out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"seo_title":"Reorder Point | Zoho Glossary | Aaxonix","seo_description":"A Reorder Point in Zoho Inventory is the minimum stock level at which a purchase order should be triggered for an item, preventing stockouts by ensuring re","seo_keyword":"reorder point zoho inventory stockout prevention","seo_faqs":"","term_type":"","glossary_related":"","glossary_links":""},"glossary_category":[1252],"class_list":["post-4863","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary_category-zoho-inventory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/4863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary_category?post=4863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
