# Reorder Recommendations

> What to reorder and how much, with snooze for items you're already handling

The **Reorder Recommendations** report tells you what to reorder and how much, based on each item's sales velocity, lead time, and safety stock. It nets out anything already [incoming](/user-guide/purchasing/incoming), so you're never told to reorder stock that's already on its way.

**Key columns**: product, variant, SKU, location, on-hand quantity, incoming, reorder point, quantity to order, daily velocity, and unit cost.

* **Reorder point** is the level at which it's time to reorder - enough to cover demand over the lead time plus safety stock
* **Incoming** is stock already on its way to the location - units arriving on [Shopify inventory transfers](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/inventory/inventory-transfers) or shipments that are marked in transit
* **Quantity to order** is the suggested order size to bring you back to target, after subtracting incoming stock so you don't double-order

## Consolidated view (buying across locations)

If you fulfil from several locations but purchase **centrally** - buying in bulk for the whole business rather than per warehouse - set your [Forecasting](/user-guide/forecasting) sales grouping to **Combined across locations**. A **Consolidated** option then appears in the location selector at the top of the report, and combined-mode shops open on it by default. You can still switch to **All locations** or a single location from the same selector.

The consolidated view shows **one row per product across all your locations**, with a single quantity to order for the entire business:

* **On-hand** and **incoming** are totalled across every tracked location
* **Quantity to order** is calculated from your **combined demand** across all locations, then netted against your **total** stock and incoming - so it's the number to buy once, not per location
* Incoming is **arrival-date aware**: stock already on the way only reduces the suggested order if it lands *before* you'd run out. A container arriving too late to prevent a stockout won't stop an item being recommended - useful when you have long lead times and order in small, frequent batches

A product only appears here if your **total** stock across locations is below target. An item that's low at one location but well-covered by another won't show - because there's nothing to *buy*; you'd move stock between locations instead. This is why the consolidated list can be shorter than the per-location list.

<Note>
  Switching sales grouping between **Per location** and **Combined across locations** recalculates your recommendations within a few minutes.

## Creating a purchase order

Turn recommendations straight into [purchase orders](/user-guide/purchasing/purchase-orders) - no exporting or retyping. Use a row's **Create purchase order** action for one item, or tick several rows and choose **Create purchase order** from the selection bar.

Because each product is bought from a supplier, Stockful groups your selection into **one draft order per supplier** (and destination), ready to review before anything is placed:

* **Grouped by supplier** - each group shows its products, unit count and total, so you can see "Acme → Main warehouse: 8 products, £1,840" at a glance
* **Costs and pack sizes applied** - unit costs come from each supplier's price list, and quantities round up to the supplier's pack size
* **Minimum order value** - a group below its supplier's minimum is flagged so you can top it up
* **Needs a supplier** - products without a [primary supplier](/user-guide/purchasing/suppliers) are called out; assign one inline so they can go on an order

Create the orders and Stockful opens them as **drafts** - review, adjust, and [send them to your suppliers](/user-guide/purchasing/purchase-orders/sending) when you're ready.

## Snoozing recommendations

If an item is on your radar but you don't want it flagged right now - a PO is already placed, you're discontinuing it, and so on - **snooze** it for a set number of days with an optional reason and note.

* Snoozed items move to the **Snoozed** tab and reappear automatically when the snooze expires
* Un-snooze at any time to bring an item back
* Snooze a single item, or select several and snooze them in bulk
* In the consolidated view, snoozing a product applies across all of its locations

Use the **Active** / **Snoozed** tabs to switch between current recommendations and ones you've set aside.

<Tip>
  Lead time, safety stock, and restock-to targets are configured in [Forecasting settings](/user-guide/forecasting), with per-product overrides available.
