To Reorder – Under the Inventory tab, this amount indicates an estimate of how much inventory is needed to reorder from the vendor in order to have enough stock in the warehouse.
Replenish – Under the Listing tab, this amount indicates an estimate of how much inventory is needed to send or replenish to Amazon or a fulfillment center.
How to setup the rules:
Setting Up Reorder Rules for Vendor Replenishment Estimation:
Navigate to “settings” and select “Reorder Rules”
You will now see two rules. When reordering, you can always select which rule to use so that the amount will be calculated according to the selected rule.
Customizing the rule>>Click on a rule and you will have the options to customize.
Rule Name>>You can choose the desired name for this rule.
Days To Count: This indicates the number of days in the past that the system should consider for estimation. The system will calculate the average daily sales based on the total units sold in the specified number of days (e.g., past 30 days).
Day Supply Amount To Reorder: This allows you to specify the desired number of days’ supply for reordering. For example, if you choose 60 days, the system will calculate the average daily sales and multiply it by 60 to determine the quantity to reorder.
Same Days Last Year: This option is primarily used for seasonal items. It will calculate the amount compared to same time period last year.
Combine Real Time: When managing mains and subs with a combination of FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) and FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant) products, enabling the “Combine Real Time” setting ensures that if you have stock available at FBA for any of the products within this group, the system will not suggest a reorder amount for the FBM products.
Out of Stock: If selected, the system will deduct the number of days the item was out of stock. The average will be calculated based only on the days when the item was in stock.
Buy Box: If selected, the system will deduct the number of days the item did not have the buy box. The average will be calculated based only on the days when the item had the buy box.
Show Full Amount: By default, the system calculates the amount needed by deducting the quantity in stock and on open purchase orders. For example, if 100 units are needed for a 60-day supply and you have 10 units in the warehouse, the system will suggest reordering 90 units. However, if “Show Full Amount” is selected, the system will display the full amount needed for reorder without deducting the quantity on hand.
Supplier ETA: For each vendor, you have the option to add an estimated time of arrival (ETA), indicating how long it takes to receive items from that supplier. If “Supplier ETA” is selected, the system will automatically consider the lead time and notify you in advance about the reorder timing, taking into account the specified ETA.
Sales Rank: If selected, the system will calculate the sales rank performance based on the percentage of improvement or decline. It will analyze whether the sales rank has improved or worsened compared to the previous period.

Please note: It may take up to an hour for the system to calculate the new reorder suggestions after you have saved your settings.
Setting up Replenish Rules for Estimated Amount Calculation
Navigate to the “settings” and select “Replenish Rules”
You will now see two rules. When replenishing, you can always select which rule to use so that the amount will be calculated according to the selected rule.
Customizing the rule>>Click on a rule and you will have the options to customize.
Rule Name>>You can choose the desired name for this rule.
Days To Count: The number of days in the past that the system should consider for estimation. The system will calculate the total units sold during this specified period (e.g., past 30 days) and calculate the average units sold per day.
Day Supply Amount To Replenish: This field determines the desired number of days’ worth of supply you want to maintain. For example, if you select 60 days, the system will calculate the average daily sales and multiply it by 60 to estimate the quantity needed for that duration.
Same Days Last Year: This option is primarily useful for seasonal items. When selected, the system will calculate the quantity based on the sales data from the corresponding period last year.
Out of Stock: If selected, the system will deduct the number of days the item was out of stock. The average will be calculated based only on the days when the item was in stock.
Buy Box: If selected, the system will deduct the number of days the item did not have the buy box. The average will be calculated based only on the days when the item had the buy box.
Show Full Amount: By default, the system calculates the amount needed for replenishment and deducts the quantity already in stock at Amazon/fulfillment center. For example, if 100 units are needed for a 60-day supply and you already have 10 units in stock, the system will suggest sending in only 90 units. However, if you select the “Show Full Amount” option, the system will display the full quantity needed for replenishment without deducting the existing stock.
Sales Rank: If selected, the system will calculate the sales rank performance based on the percentage of improvement or decline. It will analyze whether the sales rank has improved or worsened compared to the previous period.
