Overview

Setting Reorder Levels

Reorder level for dummies

Reorder level is the inventory level, at which a company makes a new order or starts a manufacturing run to prevent shortages, while also avoiding overstocking.

In Zoho Inventory, you can set the reorder level and preferred vendor for every item and the system will keep you informed when the stock reaches equal to or below the reorder point.

Configuring Reorder levels

Reorder levels can be set in two ways, either during Item creation which is done by clicking the Add Item button or you can configure them individually later by selecting items and add reorder levels by clicking on the Reorder level option inside the Item overview.
