🧠 What the Report Shows
Each column in the report represents a key data point that helps you evaluate your stock position and plan your next purchase orders efficiently.
Below is an explanation of each column and how to interpret it:
🛍️ Product Name
Displays the product title as listed in your Shopify store.
This helps you easily identify which items are included in your reorder report.
🗂️ Collections
Shows the collection or category each product belongs to in your Shopify store.
This helps you group products logically — for example, by type, brand, or season — when reviewing reorder priorities.
🏷️ SKU (Stock Keeping Unit)
Displays the unique SKU code associated with each product or variant.
SKUs serve as precise item identifiers used across fulfillment, purchase orders, and inventory tracking.
🔖 Tags
Lists the Shopify product tags assigned to each item.
Tags are useful for segmenting and filtering products in your report — for example, by seasonality (summer), stock status (bestseller), or warehouse (main-warehouse).
🏢 Vendor
Displays the vendor or supplier name associated with each product in Shopify.
This helps you organize and plan reorders by supplier — ensuring you know which vendor to contact when replenishing certain items.
📦 Current Inventory
Shows the current available stock of each product or variant, as reflected in Shopify.
This gives you an up-to-date view of what’s currently on hand before any reorder is made.
The value updates automatically based on your Shopify inventory, so you always work with the latest stock levels.
📈 Maximum Inventory or Maximum Stock Level
Represents the ideal upper stock level your store aims to maintain for each product.
This ensures you can meet demand while keeping inventory costs under control.
This figure is determined by your app’s configured mode:
In Manual Mode, it’s based on the Maximum Order Quantity and your defined thresholds.
In Dynamic Mode, it’s calculated using your store’s sales trends and standard lead time assumptions.
💡 Think of this as your "fully stocked" target level — the maximum amount your business should carry before it becomes excess.
🚨 Reorder Point
Indicates the trigger level for restocking — the point where a product’s inventory should prompt a reorder to prevent stockouts.
When your current stock falls to or below this level, it’s time to place a new order.
The Reorder Point is influenced by:
Your average sales rate (demand)
Supplier lead time
Safety stock (inventory buffer)
The report automatically identifies which items are near or below their reorder point, helping you prioritize urgent restocks.
🔁 Reorder Quantity
Shows the recommended number of units to order to bring your inventory back up to the optimal level.
It’s derived from the difference between your Maximum Inventory and your Current Inventory.
This value adjusts dynamically based on your selected mode:
Manual Mode: Uses your entered demand and thresholds.
Dynamic Mode: Uses recent Shopify sales data and built-in safety stock logic.
💡 This is your actionable reorder amount — what your next purchase order should include to restore ideal stock levels.
