About

Reorder parameters are set once and then forgotten while demand and vendors change under them. Reorder Point reads the parameters your system holds per item and location, the demand history behind each SKU from store orders or a warehouse table, and the purchase orders and receipts that show how long each vendor really takes.

It recomputes a reorder point, safety stock, and min and max per item and location, and proposes each change with the current value beside the proposed one. A planner approves, edits, or declines. The write to the item record or reordering rule happens only after approval, and the old value is kept in the receipt so it can be restored.

This is a reference listing. It documents what Fibric would read from Reorder Point and what it could propose, based on the vendor's published interfaces. Fibric builds it under a managed deployment when you request it; selecting it here installs nothing.

Inputs

  • Planning parameters on the Business Central Item Card: Reordering Policy, Reorder Point, Safety Stock Quantity, Reorder Quantity, Maximum Inventory, Time Bucket
  • NetSuite item record fields per location: Reorder Point, Preferred Stock Level, Safety Stock Level, Lead Time, Reorder Multiple, Replenishment Method
  • Odoo reordering rules with Min, Max, Multiple Quantity, Trigger, and Route per product and location
  • Katana inventory records with safety_stock_level, quantity_in_stock, and quantity_committed per variant and location
  • Order lines per SKU and location from your store, or a sales table in Snowflake, BigQuery, or PostgreSQL
  • Purchase order dates and receipt dates, to measure the lead time each vendor and item has shown

Proposed actions

  • Target capability: propose a new reorder point and safety stock for an item and location, with the demand and lead time behind it
  • Target capability: propose new Min and Max values on an Odoo reordering rule, or a new Maximum Inventory in Business Central
  • Target capability: propose a Preferred Stock Level or Reorder Multiple change on a NetSuite item record
  • Target capability: propose a different Reordering Policy in Business Central for an item whose demand pattern has changed

Proposed actions are target capabilities. Every action runs propose-first and needs a validated deployment and the appropriate permissions.

What you can build

  • Reset reorder points after a demand shift

    Weekly units per SKU from Shopify orders and lead times measured from NetSuite item receipts give a new Reorder Point per location. The planner approves each change before the item record is updated.

    With Shopify, NetSuite

  • Keep Odoo Min and Max in step with the warehouse table

    Demand aggregated in Snowflake and the open reordering rules in Odoo. A new Min and Max per product and location is proposed, and approved values are written to the rule.

    With Snowflake, Odoo

  • Recompute safety stock in Katana

    Committed and in-stock quantities from Katana against units sold in BigCommerce. A safety_stock_level per variant and location is proposed for the planner to approve.

    With Katana Cloud Inventory, BigCommerce

Requirements

  • An ERP or inventory system that stores reorder parameters per item and location: Business Central, NetSuite, Odoo, or Katana
  • Demand history per SKU and location, from store orders or a warehouse table you point it at
  • Purchase order and receipt history, so lead time can be measured rather than assumed
  • A planner or inventory manager named to approve each parameter change
Authentication
ERP credentials with item read and update permission (a Business Central OAuth app, a NetSuite REST integration, an Odoo API user, or a Katana API key), plus read-only access to store orders or the demand table.

Limits

  • Business Central's API v2.0 item resource does not expose planning parameters. Writing them there needs a custom API page or an extension.
  • Katana marks reorder_point as deprecated in favor of safety_stock_level. Proposals there target that field only.
  • An item with fewer receipts than the window needs keeps the lead time on file. No figure is invented.
  • Parameters are proposed one item and location at a time. A bulk change is a list of separate approvals.

Questions and answers

What does the planner see before approving?
The current and proposed values side by side: reorder point, safety stock, min and max, or preferred stock level. Beneath them, the demand series, the lead time measured from receipts, and the formula applied. The planner can edit any value or decline.
How does it compute a reorder point?
Average demand per day over the window, multiplied by lead time in days, plus safety stock. NetSuite documents the same form for its auto-calculation. Lead time is measured from order date to receipt date where receipts exist. Otherwise the item's lead time on file is used.
Does it change parameters on its own?
No. It reads and proposes. A change is written to the item record or reordering rule only after a named planner approves it. Each write leaves a receipt with the old value, the new value, who approved it, and how to restore the old value.
