{{project}} / SKU [ ] / owner {{business}} / count timestamp [ ]
Purpose: build consistent inputs for one SKU and a separate dated availability check. Do not mix cases, pieces, locations, or variants without a documented conversion.
Individual unit definition and usable locations [ ]; pack/case size [ ]; unavailable/damaged stock treatment [ ].
Demand evidence
Period [ ]; units sold [ ]; calendar days with usable stock available [ ]; stockout days and other distortions [ ]; known promotion/seasonality [ ].
Chosen daily demand [ ]; calculation/source and limitations [ ]. Historical sales during a stockout may understate demand. Define whether the forecast includes existing reserved orders so you do not consume or reserve the same demand twice.
If there are no available-stock days or no usable history, an observed daily average is undefined. Record a justified provisional estimate and sensitivity range if you use one; missing history is not evidence of zero future demand.
Supply and stock
Lead time in calendar days from order to usable receipt [ ]; source [ ]; uncertainty [ ].
Chosen safety buffer days and rationale [ ]; review interval days [ ]. The safety input is a planning allowance, not a guaranteed service level.
Usable on hand [ ]; confirmed on order [ ]; committed units not already deducted [ ].
Open order | units | expected usable date | confirmation/date | counted in this scenario?
[Reference | units | date | evidence | yes/no and reason]
Do not count a received order both on hand and on order.
Calculator fields
Average daily demand [ ]; Lead time [ ]; Safety buffer [ ]; Review interval [ ]; Usable units on hand [ ]; Confirmed units on order [ ]; Committed units [ ].
Stock position = usable on hand + useful confirmed on order - committed.
Reorder point = demand × (lead + safety); target = demand × (lead + safety + review).
If position is at/below the point, provisional quantity = max(0, ceiling(target - position)); otherwise the tool reports zero. This rule is defined by the tool and is not a guarantee that waiting until the next review is safe.
Dated availability check, separate from the aggregate calculator
Date/elapsed days | opening usable units after reservations | new demand until event | usable receipt | projected closing units | risk/action
[Event | units | forecast consumption | timely units | balance | decision]
Check projected depletion before each receipt. An order arriving after depletion cannot fill the earlier gap merely because it appears in the total. Negative projected units indicate an unmet requirement to investigate, not physically negative stock.
Before ordering: verify minimum/case size, usable-arrival date, cash, storage, expiry, and existing orders. Export base and adverse cases, then record the authorized decision. The tool places no order.
Your decision
Do on-hand, incoming, and committed counts describe the same SKU?
My answer: [ ]
Source and date: [ ]
Still to check: [ ]
Next action, owner, and due date: [ ]
Before you start
- Daily demand estimate: [Source or notes]
- Supplier lead time: [Source or notes]
- Stock and commitments: [Source or notes]
What you will make
A provisional reorder quantity with assumptions to confirm before ordering.
