Purchasing settings
Default restock timing — lead time, days of stock to hold, and the sales window used for reorder suggestions.
What it's for
The Purchasing box sets the defaults that restock suggestions use when deciding how much to reorder. A vendor's own values, when set, win over these defaults.
Where to find it
⚙ Settings → General settings → Purchasing. Tabs: Restock defaults and Imports.
The screen at a glance
Restock defaults tab
| Setting | What it means |
|---|---|
| Default reorder lead time | Days from placing a PO until the stock is on your shelf. |
| Stock for this many days | How many days of stock the suggestion orders up to. |
| Lookback days | The sales window used to work out how fast each item sells. |
Each box saves as soon as you change it and click away.
Imports tab
The average-shipping-cost upload has moved. It now lives on Channel SKUs → ⚡ Actions → 📥 Imports… (scroll to "Average shipping cost").
Buttons and actions
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Number boxes | Save on change. A short "saved" notice appears. |
How to make suggestions keep more stock on hand
- Open Settings → General settings → Purchasing → Restock defaults.
- Raise Stock for this many days, for example from 30 to 45.
- Click outside the box. It saves on its own.
Tips and troubleshooting
- A vendor ignores these numbers. That vendor has its own lead time or coverage set, and the vendor's values win.
- Suggestions swing a lot from week to week. Try a longer Lookback days so one busy or slow week has less effect.
