Inventory Reorder Point
Set simple reorder points from lead time and weekly sales — no fake forecast precision.
# Inventory Reorder Point
## Purpose
Teach an outside bot a simple reorder-point formula for small-business inventory.
## When to use
- SKUs stock out too often.
- Purchase orders are guesswork.
## Limits
- Use real sales history. If history is thin, say so and use a manual owner floor.
- Do not auto-place vendor orders without owner approval.
## Steps
1. Pull 8–12 weeks of units sold per SKU.
2. Compute average weekly demand.
3. Get vendor lead time in weeks (include receiving time).
4. Reorder point ≈ weekly demand × lead time + owner safety stock.
5. When on-hand + on-order ≤ reorder point, draft a PO for review.
6. Recalculate monthly or after a big promo.
## Examples
Input: 20 units/week, lead time 2 weeks, safety 10.
Output: reorder point 50; at on-hand 48 draft PO for owner approval.
