Demande + délai + stock de sécurité -> action d’achat

Les points de commande comptent car les ruptures et le surstock coûtent cher dès que l’inventaire est réparti entre marketplaces, entrepôts et fournisseurs.

Avant de commencer : prérequis

Un point de commande n’est utile que si les données reflètent réellement vos ventes, achats et réceptions de stock.

Historique de demande

Export at least 30-90 days of sales per SKU. Use net fulfilled orders, not page views or gross marketplace traffic.

Délais fournisseurs

Record the real time from placing a purchase order to sellable stock being available. Include production, transport, receiving and quality checks.

Visibilité stock en direct

Connect your channels and warehouse quantities so Stock Advice can compare reorder points with current available stock.

Tip: start with your top 50 revenue-driving SKUs. Point de commandes for slow movers are useful later, but fast movers show whether your formula works within days.

Étape par étape : définir points de commande et stock de sécurité

Utilisez cette séquence pour une règle de réassort répétable plutôt qu’une estimation dans un tableur.

Choisir le SKU et l’emplacement

Set reorder points at the level where replenishment decisions happen: SKU, supplier and warehouse or fulfillment center. If one SKU sells from two locations, each location may need a different point.

Erreur fréquente : using one global reorder point while demand and lead time differ per warehouse.

Calculer la demande quotidienne moyenne

Divide recent fulfilled units by the number of selling days. Remove one-off spikes, stockout days and discontinued bundles so the average reflects normal demand.

Erreur fréquente : including stockout days as zero-demand days, which makes the reorder point too low.

Mesurer le délai complet de réassort

Count every day between purchase decision and sellable stock: supplier confirmation, production, transport, customs if relevant, receiving, put-away and marketplace stock sync.

Erreur fréquente : using the supplier's shipping time only and ignoring warehouse receiving time.

Ajouter un stock de sécurité

Stock de sécurité is the buffer that protects you when sales run faster than expected or inbound stock arrives late. Increase it for seasonal SKUs, long lead times and unreliable suppliers.

Erreur fréquente : applying the same buffer percentage to every SKU, even when risk profiles are different.

Appliquer la formule

Use the standard formula: reorder point = average demande quotidienne × lead time + safety stock. Example: 8 units per day × 21 days + 40 safety units = reorder at 208 units.

Erreur fréquente : rounding the result down to make stock look leaner, then ordering too late.

Relier le seuil aux achats

A reorder point should trigger a concrete action: create a purchase order, request supplier confirmation or move stock from another location. ChannelDock Stock Advice helps turn low-stock signals into replenishment priorities.

Erreur fréquente : calculating reorder points but leaving the buyer to check them manually once a week.

Réviser après chaque cycle

Compare the forecast with what actually happened. If the SKU stocked out before inbound arrived, raise safety stock or re-check lead time. If stock sits too long, lower the point or adjust order quantity.

Erreur fréquente : treating reorder points as a one-time setup instead of a living inventory rule.

La formule pour l’équipe achat

The simplest reorder point combines how fast you sell with how long replenishment takes, then adds a risk buffer for real-world variation.

Un point de commande n’est pas une prévision. C’est le niveau où attendre devient plus risqué qu’acheter.

Pièges fréquents

Using sales revenue instead of units sold. Point de commandes need unit demand per SKU.
Ignoring inbound purchase orders, reserved stock and inventory held for bundles.
Setting safety stock too low for suppliers with variable lead times or minimum order quantities.
Reviewing only total company stock while one warehouse or fulfillment center is about to run out.
Not linking reorder points to purchase-order management, so alerts do not become supplier actions.

Tableurs manuels vs ChannelDock Stock Advice

A spreadsheet can calculate a reorder point, but it usually cannot keep up with live marketplace demand, warehouse stock and inbound delays.

Sans ChannelDock

Buyers copy sales, stock and lead-time data into separate spreadsheets.
Point de commandes go stale when marketplace sales or supplier timelines change.
Low-stock alerts depend on someone checking the file before a stockout happens.

Avec ChannelDock

Stock, sales channels and replenishment signals live in one operational workflow.
Stock Advice highlights SKUs that need buying attention before availability breaks.
Teams can combine advice with stock alerts and purchase-order follow-up.

FAQ points de commande

A reorder point is the stock level where you should start replenishment so new inventory arrives before sellable stock runs out. It combines average demand, replenishment lead time and safety stock.

Use: reorder point = average daily sales × lead time + safety stock. If you sell 8 units per day, need 21 days to replenish and keep 40 units as safety stock, reorder at 208 units.

Stock de sécurité is the buffer you keep for uncertainty. The reorder point is the trigger level that includes expected lead-time demand plus that buffer.

No. Fast movers, seasonal products, unreliable suppliers and long lead-time items usually need larger buffers. Slow, stable SKUs can often use smaller safety stock.

Review high-volume SKUs after each replenishment cycle or at least monthly. Review slower SKUs quarterly, and always after supplier lead times, demand patterns or marketplace strategy change.

Point de commandes reduce stockout risk, but overselling also needs live stock sync across channels. Pair replenishment rules with stock-level sync for marketplace availability control.

ChannelDock Stock Advice helps sellers see which SKUs need replenishment attention and connect stock decisions to day-to-day ecommerce operations.
