Days of stock

What is days of stock and how it affects forecasting?

Days of stock is the amount of days you want to cover demand for when placing purchase order.

On the settings page you can set a default value but this can be adjusted on the fly on the Order product view depending on your requirements.

For example, to cover demand for 30 days, for a product that sells 2 units per day, you would be suggested to order 60 units, minus any leftover stock.

Days of stock also works as a threshold when a product shows up as Order in X days under Order now tab. This will happen when the remaining inventory covers demand for smaller period than Days of stock but higher than Lead time + Safety stock combined.
