How does RevoStock calculate the suggested restock quantity?

The suggested restock quantity depends on two things: the SKU's trigger mode (which decides when to flag a reorder) and the sizing formula (which decides how much to order). After sizing, RevoStock applies a MOQ floor and an optional max cap.

What drives the quantity​

RevoStock supports four trigger modes, each with its own sizing logic:

SmartDays (default)

The SKU is flagged when projected stock is about to fall below the buffer needed to cover lead time plus safety stock. The order quantity is sized to replenish enough stock to last for the configured Days of supply window, starting from the expected arrival date.

Reorder Qty = Forecasted daily velocity x Days of supply

Both the trigger timing and the order size are driven by the AI-forecasted velocity, so they automatically adjust as your sales pace changes.

ManualQty

The SKU is flagged when on-hand stock falls at or below the Static reorder point you set manually. The order quantity equals that same static reorder point value — no forecast is used for sizing.

Hybrid

Triggers on whichever condition fires first: the static reorder point or the SmartDays threshold. Quantity is sized using the SmartDays formula (forecasted velocity x days of supply), but it will never be less than the static reorder point.

Disabled

The SKU is never flagged for reorder and does not appear in the Buying Table.

MOQ and cap adjustments​

After the raw quantity is calculated, two guardrails are applied in order:

  1. MOQ floor — if your supplier has a minimum order quantity, the final quantity is raised to meet it: final = max(calculated qty, MOQ).
  2. Max quantity cap — if you've set a ceiling to avoid over-ordering, the quantity is reduced if needed: final = min(floored qty, max cap).

Example: SmartDays sizes a reorder at 80 units, MOQ is 100, max cap is 150. The final suggestion is 100 units.

Where to see the result​

The calculated quantity appears in the Reorder Qty column of the Buying Table. Click any row to open the SKU detail drawer, which shows the exact inputs — velocity, lead time, days of supply, safety stock, MOQ, and cap — that produced the number.
