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, 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 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 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.
Switching sales grouping between Per location and Combined across locations recalculates your recommendations within a few minutes.

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.
Lead time, safety stock, and restock-to targets are configured in Forecasting settings, with per-product overrides available.
