Reorder Points and Targets (previously known as PAR Levels & Reorder Quantities) can be considered a floor and a ceiling, respectively, for your ideal inventory levels.

Keep reading for more of a breakdown along with a graphic to help explain precisely what we mean:

The Reorder Point is the ideal minimum quantity you want in stock at all times.

This is similar to an Alert level and is extremely valuable for keeping a well-stocked shelf and avoiding running out of a product.

Reorder Points can be thought of as a soft floor.

The Reorder Target is your ceiling. This is how many units make for a "full" product shelf.

Another way to think about the Reorder Target is the quantity you want to return to when it hits the Reorder Point. In theory, this is your ideal maximum for the given product.

Easily manage your inventory with the "Auto-Add Products Below Reorder Point" feature. With a single click, you can automatically add products at or below their Reorder Points to your Internal Transfers or Purchase Orders.

If you've set Reorder Targets, we'll automatically fill in the units needed to bring your stock back to the desired level, ensuring you don’t overstock.

Let’s say:

If inventory drops to 5 units (below the Reorder Point), your next Purchase Order will automatically order 15 units to bring you back to the Reorder Target of 20.

To set or edit reorder default reorder points and values from the old catalog experience, click on the product name on the Products & Variants page:

To set unique Reorder Point and Target values for multiple locations, scroll down and use the Locations section below. Disable the "Use Defaults" toggle to enter specific numbers for each location.

Set/edit multiple Reorder Points and Targets values at once, we recommend using the Edit Variants Bulk Upload tool.

Once Reorder Points and Targets are set, you can receive email alerts when inventory falls below your defined level.
