SKU overrides

Not every product has the same supply chain. From Settings → Forecasting, click SKU overrides to customise settings per variant. Each variant can override:

Override	What it does
Lead time	Supplier-specific lead time for this SKU
Safety stock	Custom buffer for high-value or volatile items
Low stock threshold (days)	Override the global days-of-cover low-stock threshold for this SKU
Restock-to days	Custom restock target for this SKU
Demand adjustment	SKU-specific seasonal or promotional adjustment
Manual sales rate	Pin a fixed daily sales rate (units/day) for this SKU. When set, it replaces the calculated velocity and any demand adjustment, and the SKU is projected at that flat rate, so its days of supply, reorder point and reorder quantity all follow it. Use it for a new product or a known upcoming change the sales history can’t show yet.

Leave a field blank to inherit the global default; leave Manual sales rate blank to use Stockful’s calculated velocity. A blank field means the SKU uses the default, not an override you have set. You can search by product name or SKU, and reset individual overrides back to defaults.

AI-suggested thresholds

On the SKU overrides page, click Suggest with AI to have Stockful’s assistant recommend values for lead time, safety stock, low-stock threshold, and restock-to days. Suggestions are based on each SKU’s actual sales history, variability, and supplier link. Each suggested field comes with a one-sentence explanation; you can apply suggestions individually or all at once. Bulk mode runs across many selected SKUs; the same suggestion is also available in the inventory detail modal for single-SKU tuning.
