Why the Inventory Reorder Point Report matters
A fixed low-stock threshold is a blunt tool. "Reorder when inventory drops below 10" works fine if every product sells at the same pace from the same vendor with the same lead time - which it doesn't.
The reorder point is the precise quantity at which you need to place a new order to receive stock before running out. The math is simple, but doing it right requires three inputs per product: sales velocity (how fast it sells), lead time (how long the vendor takes), and safety stock (your buffer for variability).
Reorder Point = (Sales Velocity × Lead Time) + Safety Stock
A bestseller with 14-day lead time and 10 units/day velocity needs a reorder point of 140+. A slow-mover with the same lead time and 0.5 units/day needs 7+. One fixed threshold for both makes you wrong on both.
The Inventory Reorder Point Report calculates the right number for each SKU, flags what to act on today, and tells you exactly when each product is days-from-reorder. It's the reporting layer of just-in-time inventory.
What's included in the report
Identification - Product Title · Variant Title · SKU
Reorder math (all configurable per SKU)
Inventory Quantity - Current units in stock.
Sales Velocity - Units sold per day (calculated from a chosen lookback period - typically last 30 or 90 days).
Lead Time - Days between placing an order and receiving stock. Set per product or vendor.
Safety Stock - Buffer units to cover demand variability. Set per product or globally.
Reorder Point - (Sales Velocity × Lead Time) + Safety Stock. The calculated trigger.
Trigger metrics - Days Left for Reorder - How many days until current stock hits the reorder point.
Reorder Date - The calculated date by which you must place the order.
Status - Critical / Warning / OK indicator.

How to read the Inventory Reorder Point Report
• Days Left for Reorder < 0 = you should have reordered already. Place the order today.
• Days Left between 0 and 7 = inside the urgency window. Reorder this week.
• Days Left > 30 = not your problem this month.
• Reorder Point unrealistically high. Check sales velocity - outlier days (a flash sale) can skew the average. Use a longer lookback period.
• Reorder Point near zero = slow-mover. Consider discontinuing rather than carrying.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Reorder Point (ROP) is the stock level at which you should place a new order to receive inventory before running out. Calculated as (Sales Velocity × Lead Time) + Safety Stock.
A Low Stock threshold is a fixed number applied to all products. Reorder Point is calculated per SKU using actual sales velocity, lead time, and safety stock. Different products get different reorder points - which is far more accurate.
From your actual Shopify sales data. By default, the report uses the last 30 days; you can change the lookback to 60 or 90 days for seasonal smoothing.
