Setting this field enables Zoho Inventory to suggest the correct quantity on auto-generated purchase orders rather than leaving it blank for the buyer to estimate.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Calculate Reorder Quantity<\/h2>\n<p>The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) formula minimises total ordering and holding costs. A simpler approach is to order enough to cover lead time plus a safety stock buffer. For example, if weekly sales are 50 units and lead time is 2 weeks, ordering 120 units (100 + 20 safety) is a reasonable starting point.<\/p>\n<h2>Relationship with Reorder Point<\/h2>\n<p>Reorder point triggers the replenishment action; reorder quantity determines how much to buy. Both fields together automate the purchasing decision and reduce the risk of both stockouts and excess inventory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The quantity to be ordered when an item&#8217;s stock falls to its reorder point in Zoho Inventory, calculated to optimise replenishment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"seo_title":"Reorder Quantity | Zoho Glossary | Aaxonix","seo_description":"The quantity to be ordered when an item's stock falls to its reorder point in Zoho Inventory, calculated to optimise replenishment.","seo_keyword":"reorder quantity zoho inventory","seo_faqs":"","term_type":"","glossary_related":"","glossary_links":""},"glossary_category":[1252],"class_list":["post-4881","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary_category-zoho-inventory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/4881","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=4881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary_category?post=4881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
