This tool allows you to set minimum and maximum inventory levels and let the system suggest reorders based on an inventory plan.

Create a Setting
To create a new setting, click New
Fill out the Setting Name, Company, and PC. Click Save.
Then choose the criteria that controls your inventory plan. Most dealerships just use Make and Model.
Now fill out the Min and Max number for each month of the year. Suggested reorder compares TOH + TOO to the Min. It will suggest the number of units that would allow TOH + TOO to equal the Max.
TOH = Total On Hand
TOO = Total On Order
For example, if we want to order at least two units at a time, we would set Min one number below Max for each month.
The copy button copies January Min and Max to all other months
