Frequently asked questions
- How is the reorder point calculated?
- Reorder point = (average daily units sold × lead time in days) + safety stock. It's the stock level at which you should place your next order so you don't run out before the new stock arrives.
- Does this show a text status like "Reorder Now"?
- Not yet — the Needs Reorder field is a TRUE/FALSE flag based on whether your current stock is below the reorder point, not a styled status label. The number itself (and the units-below-reorder-point figure) tells you what you need to know.
- Is this free to use?
- Yes, on FLYNT's free plan — no credit card required.
