Replenishment report

The replenishment report in Odoo Inventory is an interactive dashboard that uses manual reordering rules, lead times and upcoming demand to show which products need restocking and when.

What the replenishment report does

The report works with normal reordering rules but adds a monitoring view with extra controls, letting a business anticipate future needs, keep less stock on hand without running out, and plan or consolidate orders. It is available from Inventory > Operations > Replenishment.

Automatic reordering rules can also appear on this page, but they are hidden by default since they do not need manual action.

Using the replenishment dashboard

Each line shows a product due for restocking. The To Order field defaults to the quantity needed to reach the rule’s Max Quantity, but it can be edited by clicking the field. To create the purchase or manufacturing order, click Order.

Clicking Snooze temporarily hides a line from the dashboard for a set period, without changing the underlying reordering rule.

Adding a Vendor column (via the adjust settings icon) allows lines to be filtered or grouped by vendor, which makes it easier to consolidate orders and reduce shipment costs.

Order to Max

A reordering rule only triggers when forecasted stock is due to fall below the minimum. To replenish a product further, for example to reach a vendor’s discount threshold or reduce delivery costs, tick the relevant products and click Replenish > Order to Max. This creates a request for quotation for each product at the earliest possible date, for the maximum quantity set on its rule.

Horizon days

Horizon days control how many days ahead Odoo checks whether forecasted stock will drop below a rule’s minimum, so replenishment can be planned in advance. For example, setting horizon days to 7 brings forward any manual reordering rule due to trigger within the next week, even if nothing is needed today.

This differs from visibility days, which only bring forward demand that would already trigger a replenishment today. To set horizon days, go to Inventory > Operations > Replenishment, select Manual in the left sidebar, and set the Horizon value.

Replenishment information

Clicking the info icon on a report line opens the Replenishment Information pop-up, showing the lead times and forecasted date behind that suggestion. If the warehouse is set up to resupply from another warehouse, this pop-up also lists the available quantity in each source warehouse under its Warehouses tab, allowing a sourcing warehouse to be chosen before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find the replenishment report in Odoo?

Go to Inventory > Operations > Replenishment. It lists products whose manual reordering rules need attention.

What does Order to Max do?

It creates a purchase order for the maximum quantity set on the reordering rule, even if the product is not yet below its minimum, useful for hitting vendor discount thresholds.

What is the difference between horizon days and visibility days?

Visibility days only show future demand if a replenishment would already be triggered today. Horizon days look further ahead and trigger a rule as soon as forecasted stock will fall below the minimum within that window, even if nothing is needed today.
