Reorder Suggestions and Urgency Levels

The Reorder page shows products that need restocking, sorted by urgency. No more "did we receive that shipment?" conversations -- everything is tracked.

Act on Critical suggestions immediately -- these products are out of stock with customers waiting. High urgency means you need to order now or you will stock out before the delivery arrives. Normal urgency means start planning but you have time.

Urgency levels

  • Critical (red) -- Out of stock with active orders waiting. These customers are waiting and you have nothing to ship.
  • High (orange) -- Will stock out within the supplier's lead time. If you do not order now, you will run out before the delivery arrives.
  • Normal (yellow) -- Approaching the reorder point. Time to plan but not yet urgent.
