Stockroom reads your sales history and suggests reorder points and order quantities for every product, so you do not have to guess. Here is where the suggestions live, how to review and apply them, and how the numbers are worked out.
Where suggestions appear
On the Suggestions tab of the Reorder page - a review table of every product's suggested low, reorder, and max levels next to your own values.
As ghost values on each product's dashboard, until you set your own.
Behind the Reorder now and Coming up tabs, which use suggestions as working thresholds when you have not set one.
Review and apply
On Reorder > Suggestions, each row shows a suggested Low, Reorder, and Max, a sales rate, and a status (Using suggestion, Partly set, Set, or Excluded). You can:
Search and filter (All, Needs values, Set, Excluded).
Click Apply on a row to save its suggestions.
Click Apply all suggestions to save them for every product that does not have its own values yet. Stockroom shows a count first, never changes values you have set, and skips excluded products.
Applying only fills the fields you left empty. Saving values also turns on stock alert coverage for those products.
See the math
Click the info icon on any row to see exactly how a suggestion was built, in plain language - for example "120 sold over 44 selling days = 2.73 a day," then how that becomes a reorder point (lead time plus a safety buffer) and a max level (reorder point plus a few more days of cover). Days a product was out of stock are excluded from the rate, so a stockout does not make it look like a slow seller.
How suggestions are calculated
The approach is deliberately simple and explainable:
Sales rate - how many you sell per selling day, over a recent window.
Reorder point - enough to cover your supplier's lead time, plus a safety buffer.
Max level - the reorder point plus extra days of cover, the level each order refills to.
Low stock - the safety buffer, so dipping into it is your early warning.
You set the defaults - lead time, safety buffer, order cover, and sales window - in Settings > Reorder suggestions. A supplier's own lead time and a product's own safety stock override those defaults.
Getting started with suggestions
Suggestions need sales history. When you install, Stockroom automatically reads up to 6 months of past orders, so suggestions usually appear within a few minutes. Each product needs about 14 days of history before it gets a suggestion; until then you can set levels yourself. If the Reorder page says it is still analyzing, waiting on order access, or has no history yet, it will start working on its own as the data lands.
