Demand planning

jimchuang

Is there a feature already available in ATUM or upcoming so I can replenish my stock based on demand (forecast based on past sale)?

Hi jimchuang

With our new premium add-on ATUM Purchase Orders PRO, from an order you can create a PO in order to restore the stock. Also, from Stock Central you can filter or sort to see which products have low stock or they are out of stock, and adding them in a Purchase Orders from Stock Central.

However, note that all this has to be manually.

I leave you here the link to the documentation where you will find useful info about how it works: https://stockmanagementlabs.crunch.help/atum-purchase-orders-pro

And the link to the demo site in case you want to try the free trial: https://stockmanagementlabs.com/addons/atum-purchase-orders-pro/

Best Regards,

Andrea.

Not sure how the new add-on would help. I would think about purchasing it if you add a suggested restock value. It should be trivial to look at the past N-days and calculate the average x how many days supply required.

Hi jimchuang

I've marked this as a suggestion. If we see enough interest from our community we'll think about whether to implement such functionality in the future. But at this time, if you want to achieve that, you will have to find a developer to assist you with it.

If you don't have enough product to meet customer demand, then you won't be able to fulfill orders. So, you need to figure out how much product you should buy based on your forecasted sales.

Salva Any news on this? Really love to have this future with the suggested stock on the sales average...

Hi elkincoppoolse

This was just a suggestion. We have not decided yet if we will develop this in the future or not.

Best Regards,

Salva Can we upvote this feature for demand forecasting anyway? I now use 2 plugins (Atum & Shelf planner) but love to combine the functionality in only yours.

Salva

Hi elkincoppoolse

No need to upvote. Your message on this "Suggestion" thread is enough for us to evaluate whether we'll develop this in the future. But don't expect this to come to life soon. We have many other things on our TODO list with a higher priority.
If you really need this for your business, I'd recommend you find a developer to assist you with it.

Best Regards,
Salva.

Hi elkincoppoolse

I'm sorry but off-topic questions aren't allowed. I'll have to remove your latest post from here.
Please create a new thread or search in the forums as that was replied multiple times.

Thanks for your understanding

Any news here? We can not find this option one year later. :-(
Thats so simple and so important. :-(

Hi Tommy83 ,

As you can read in the thread, this is a suggested feature we'll consider implementing if enough people are interested.

Your post means that you're also interested in it. We'll take it into account when considering the implementation.

Leaving my vote here, this really should be a thing 🙂

A full solution with notifications if stock has to be reordered so one does not run out would be great, but even just a simple "stock will last X more days" or a "has to be reordered in x days" field in Stock Central would be already very helpful.

hi flxhrt ,

Thank you very much for your addition.

The Restock Status is already in place in Stock Central. .

We do not have notifications as such a popup or something, but there is colour change indication if the setting is there. As well as that you can filter the data.
