The reorder point is a planning method based on history that is used for spare parts where no bill of material

exists. This method is useful when


you have independent demand items.

Re-Order Point = Demand during Lead time + Max of Safety Stock.

Available Quantity = OHQ + Supply – Demand and

Re-Order Quantity = Re-Order Point – Available Quantity.

In this report, Lead Time is the sum of preprocessing, processing, and postprocessing lead times.

The Reorder Point is the Safety Stock plus the Lead Time Demand.

The On-Hand Quantity is for the organization at the time the report was generated, excluding expired lots.

The Supply Quantity is the current quantity on order, calculated from approved requisitions, approved purchase orders, and intransit inventory.

The Total Available is the On-Hand Quantity plus the Supply Quantity less the Demand Quantity.

The Reorder Quantity is the economic order quantity (EOQ), subject to the minimum order quantity, maximum order quantity, and fixed lot
multiple.

The Demand Quantity is the unsatisfied sales order quantity (reserved and unreserved).
