• Why it has its current status, in one sentence: how much is left, how much you sell per week, and how long the supplier takes.
• In store: stock plus what's on the way.
• Forecast sales per week.
• To order now.

The chart

• The blue line is your weekly sales over the last year.
• The dashed orange line is what we expect you to sell in the coming weeks.
• The orange band is the likely range: actual sales will normally fall inside it.

How we calculate the order

The four steps, using that product's numbers. See How the suggested order is calculated.

Technical details

• Sales pattern: steady, irregular in quantity, occasional, or seasonal (yearly).
• Forecast method: the one that was most accurate for that product.
• Error over the last 8 weeks: how far the forecast was from actual sales, as a percentage of what was sold. This is the error for that product in that store each week; for the whole company over a month it's usually much smaller, because the errors cancel each other out when you add them up.
• Importance (ABC) and variability (XYZ): X steady, Y variable, Z highly variable.
• Reorder point: when stock falls below this level, it's time to order.
