Buy list
The buy list shows every variant that needs reordering, how many to buy, and what the order will cost at your Shopify unit cost.
At the top
Three totals: Variants to reorder, Units and Cost. Cost uses each variant's unit cost from Shopify, so add costs in Shopify to make the total complete.
Columns
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Available | Stock available to sell at the locations you count. |
| Incoming | Stock on its way, from Shopify transfers and purchase orders. |
| Sells / week | The blended sales rate (see How inventory planning works). |
| Runs out | When stock runs out at the current sales rate. |
| Lead | The lead time used for this variant, from its vendor or the store default. |
| Buy | The suggested quantity. |
| Cost | Buy × unit cost. |
Urgency
Use the urgency filter to narrow the list to Runs out within the lead time, the variants that will sell out before a new order could arrive, or Out of stock now.
Don't reorder
Some products shouldn't come back. Click Don't reorder on a row, choose whether it applies to this variant or every variant of the product, and pick a reason: Discontinued, Seasonal / one-off, Vendor can't supply or Other.
The variant leaves the buy list and appears on Inventory › Rules, with who added it and when. Remove it there to start suggesting it again.
Export
Export CSV downloads the list with your current filters applied, ready to send to a supplier. The Stock and Overstock pages export the same way.
Sending purchase orders
On a purchase order, Print opens a clean copy to print or save as a PDF. Under the summary, Send emails the order to the vendor, to the address saved for them in planning settings or one you type in. Their replies come to you.
Transfers
Inventory › Transfers suggests stock to move between your locations: where one location has run low on something another location has more of than it needs. Shopify doesn't say which location sells what, so each location is planned to sell an equal share. Make the transfers in Shopify, or download the list as a CSV.
