About this document

A reorder list works from two numbers per item — what's on hand and the reorder point you set — and shows what's short. Order quantities stay yours: the list makes the gap visible, it doesn't make the purchasing decision.

When to use it

  • After a count, when rows came up light.
  • A standing weekly order that shouldn't depend on walking the aisle from memory.
  • Multiple vendors, where one list splits into several purchase orders.

Getting it right

  • Set reorder points from lead time, not shelf size — the real question is what runs out before the next delivery lands.
  • Review the points seasonally; summer's reorder point is winter's overstock.
  • The order quantity isn't the shortage — it's the shortage plus what will sell before the truck arrives.

It doesn't forecast demand or optimize order sizes — it compares two numbers you gave it and refuses to invent either one.

Common questions

Where do reorder points come from?
You set them per item. A workable start: what you sell during one delivery lead time, plus a cushion you're comfortable with.
Why is "Short by" blank on some rows?
Either the item sits at or above its reorder point, or a number is missing. The list won't guess.
Can it just order for me?
No — it becomes a purchase order when you convert it, with quantities you confirmed. The judgment stays human on purpose.
