Configuring Global Defaults
The Global Defaults tab is the catalog-wide baseline for every replenishment field in RevoStock. Any value you set here applies automatically to every SKU that does not have a more-specific Vendor or SKU override. This is usually the first place you configure after connecting your store, and a single change here cascades to hundreds or thousands of products instantly.
Opening Global Defaults
- In the left-hand navigation, click Replenishment Config.
- Select the Global Defaults tab.
The form is divided into three sections: Reorder Strategy, Order Sizing, and Logistics.
Reorder Strategy
Trigger mode
Trigger mode controls when RevoStock flags a SKU for reorder and how it calculates the suggested quantity. There are four options:
| Mode | How it triggers | How it sizes the order |
|---|---|---|
| SmartDays | Forecast-driven; fires when projected days to stockout minus lead time minus safety days reaches zero | Covers the configured Days of supply from arrival |
| ManualQty | Fires when current stock falls to or below Static reorder point | Uses Static reorder point as the order quantity floor |
| Hybrid | Fires on whichever threshold is hit first: Static reorder point or SmartDays | Sized like SmartDays but never less than Static reorder point |
| Disabled | Never triggers | Always 0 |
Factory default: SmartDays. This is the recommended starting point for most stores. See Trigger modes: SmartDays, ManualQty, Hybrid, Disabled for a full explanation of each option.
Order Sizing
Days of supply (days)
Days of supply is how many days of stock you want on hand after a replenishment delivery arrives. RevoStock uses your forecasted daily sales rate to convert this figure into units.
Factory default: 30 days.
Example: if a SKU sells 10 units per day on average and your Days of supply is 30, RevoStock will suggest ordering 300 units.
Safety stock (days)
Safety stock is a buffer — expressed in days of demand — that protects you against forecast errors, late deliveries, or unexpected demand spikes. It is added to the reorder trigger calculation, not to the order quantity.
Factory default: 7 days.
In SmartDays mode, the reorder is triggered when:
Days to stockout - Lead time - Safety stock days <= 0
A safety stock of 7 days means RevoStock will flag a reorder 7 days earlier than the bare minimum, giving you a cushion even if the supplier delivers slightly late or sales run hotter than predicted.
Minimum order quantity (MOQ)
MOQ — the supplier's minimum order quantity — is the smallest number of units you are allowed to order in a single purchase order line. RevoStock applies this as a floor: if the calculated reorder quantity is below the MOQ, the suggestion is raised to the MOQ automatically.
Factory default: 1.
If you set an MOQ that is greater than the Maximum quantity cap, RevoStock will show a warning because the cap can never be respected without going below the MOQ. Resolve the conflict by lowering the MOQ or raising (or clearing) the cap.
Maximum quantity cap (units)
Maximum quantity cap is an upper ceiling on any single suggested order. After MOQ has been applied, RevoStock takes the minimum of the calculated quantity and this cap:
Final order quantity = min(calculated quantity, max cap)
Leave this field blank to impose no ceiling. This field is useful if you have warehouse space limits, cash-flow constraints, or supplier allocation limits.
Factory default: blank (no cap).
See Static reorder point and max-quantity cap for worked examples.
Logistics
Lead time (days)
Lead time is the number of calendar days between placing a purchase order and receiving the goods in your warehouse. RevoStock uses lead time to determine how far in advance it must flag a reorder — if a product will run out in 10 days and your lead time is 14 days, the reorder is already overdue.
Factory default: 14 days.
Set this to your typical supplier turnaround. If lead times vary significantly by supplier, use Vendor Overrides to set a different value per brand rather than compromising on a single global figure.
Static reorder point (units)
Static reorder point is a fixed unit threshold used by ManualQty and Hybrid trigger modes. It has no effect when Trigger mode is set to SmartDays or Disabled.
Factory default: blank (unused).
Leave this blank at the global level unless you intend to switch all SKUs to ManualQty or Hybrid mode. It is more commonly set at the Vendor or SKU layer.
Saving your changes
- After editing any field, click Save changes.
- Your new values are written to the database immediately and will appear in the Live SKU Config tab right away.
- The Buying Table and Dashboard figures are powered by the most recent data sync. After saving, you will see a banner on the Dashboard: "Replenishment config has changed since your last sync. Numbers shown may be outdated." Click Recalculate now to reprocess everything immediately, or wait for the next hourly auto-sync.
Only SKUs with no Vendor or SKU override are affected by a Global Defaults change. If a SKU's Lead time is set at the Vendor layer, your global edit will not change what that SKU uses. Check the Live SKU Config tab to confirm which layer is governing any given SKU.
