The Reorder page suggests items at or below their reorder point, grouped by supplier and ready to turn into draft purchase orders. Most of the time that's exactly what you want - but not everything belongs there. A discontinued product, a seasonal line, or a supplier whose ordering you manage yourself can crowd the list with suggestions you'll never act on.
Stockroom never lets you swipe a suggestion away - a dismissed suggestion is one you forget about until the stockout. Instead, what shows and what doesn't is always a setting you can see and undo.
Keep a product out
On a product's page, the Replenishment section has an Exclude checkbox per variant. Excluded variants never appear in reorder suggestions and are never added to nightly restock drafts.
To do this in bulk, open Inventory and switch to the Suggested levels view: select the rows and use Ignore. Include again brings them back, and the view's filter can show everything currently ignored. The stock settings CSV carries the same flag in its exclude_from_reorder column, so you can also manage it in a spreadsheet.
Ignore a whole supplier
When it's not one product but everything a supplier carries - say they run their own replenishment schedule, or you only buy from them seasonally - open the supplier's page and tick Ignore in reorder suggestions.
Their items leave reorder suggestions and nightly restock drafts, but the supplier stays fully active everywhere else: you can still create purchase orders for them, email and receive as usual, and Add suggested products on one of their purchase orders still fills in suggested quantities - asking on their own PO isn't the same as being nagged on the Reorder page.
This is different from Hide supplier. Hiding means "we don't order from them anymore" - a hidden supplier leaves the pickers and lists too. Ignoring means "we still order from them, just don't suggest it".
What never suggests on its own
Variants whose inventory isn't tracked in Shopify - with no counted stock, there's nothing to suggest from.
Stock at locations you've hidden (see Hide locations you don't use).
Products of hidden suppliers.
Nothing disappears silently
Out-of-stock items that have no reorder point and no recent sales can't produce a suggestion - so each supplier group counts them under Out of stock, not suggested instead of hiding them. Expand it to see exactly what the engine had nothing to say about.
Good to know
Changes apply immediately - suggestions are recomputed live every time the Reorder page loads.
Excluding a product also stops its reorder-point stock alerts. Ignoring a supplier doesn't touch alerts - use an alert rule's vendor filters if you want those narrowed too.
A supplier set to auto-draft restock orders but also ignored gets no drafts - ignore wins.
Everything here is reversible: untick the checkbox or use Include again and the items return to suggestions right away.
