Reorder now
Stock plus inbound runs out before a new order could arrive (lead time + safety stock). The order quantity covers your target days after arrival.
Reorder soon
Will need ordering within two weeks.
Overstock & dead stock
More stock than you'll sell in your overstock limit, or no sales at all.
3. What to do next
- Download the purchase plan CSV and send it to your supplier, or create an FBA shipment for the quantities shown.
- For dead stock: run a deal or coupon, lower the price, or create a removal order before long-term storage fees apply.
- Set the lead time honestly: production + transport + Amazon check-in. Under-estimating it is the most common cause of stock-outs.
4. Good to know
- •Before festive peaks (Diwali, Great Indian Festival, Prime Day), use last year's same period as the sales report.
- •Out-of-stock days lower your average: if a SKU was out of stock for part of the period, its real demand is higher than shown.
5. FAQ
Does it include stock at my own warehouse?
Only stock in the uploaded inventory file is counted. To include your own warehouse, upload a simple CSV with "sku" and "quantity" columns that holds your total stock per SKU.
It says a column is missing. What now?
You probably uploaded a different report, or Amazon renamed a column. Download the report exactly as in step 1. If it still fails, tell us the report name and we'll add support.
