Restock References
Min Qty and Est. Restock Time (Day) are the information which updated earlier.
Sale/Day = Quantity Purchased ÷ Sale Range
For example, there are 10 quantity purchased in between the time of last 30 days (Sale Range), hence each day there are 0.33 sales.
Est. Stock Last (Day)
Without P.O. = Current Quantity ÷ Sale/Day
For example, the current in stock quantity is 5 and the sale per day will be 0.33. Hence, this stock is estimated that it can last for 15 days more.
With P.O. = [Current Quantity + Quantity on P.O] ÷ Sale/Day
For example, the current in stock quantity is 5 and the sale per day will be 0.33. However, there is a Purchase Order made with the quantity of 10. Hence, this stock is estimated to be last for 45 days more.
