What exactly does the Inventory Planner module do?

This Magento inventory management extension automatically tracks the product catalog of your store and monitors the quantity of the items that were sold and reserved in orders for sale. Using this data, it calculates the rates of the product sales, which allows you to make estimates for such parameters of product sales and inventory stock:

• Predicts the exact date when the product will be out-of-stock.

  This Magento inventory management extension also shows the number of each product that currently is available in your warehouses. In the Inventory grid, this module allows a shop's staff to view such data as the availability of the product in stock.

  Additionally, this Magento 2 inventory management tool shows the data for sales velocity of each product, and a sales statistics for 7, 30 and 90 days.

• Shows the date by when the product needs to be replenished from the supplier to avoid an out-of-stock situation.

  With this Magento inventory management software, a store's staff can get an exact number for the product replenishment that is calculated using the data on sales velocity, days to order, and receive a product from supplier (Lead Time), and the time period that actual inventory quantity should cover (Stock Cover Time).

  The sales velocity is calculated for the time period that is specified in the admin panel of the module. By default, it is 90 days.

  The Lead Time and Stock Cover Time are constants that are defined on the module's admin page by the store staff depending on the store's particular working arrangement with the suppliers. Get a Magento inventory management tutorial for this module in its documentation.

• Informs the store staff of the products that have poor sales, and are overstocked.

  On a separate page of the inventory management Magento admin panel, the module shows products with the lowest sales velocity in your store. This data is used to calculate the overstock quantity, which is calculated by the two constants that are provided in the module's admin panel.

  The constants are Overstock Time and Overstock Quantity Threshold. The Overstock Time determines how long a product whose inventory quantity is greater that Overstock Quantity Threshold will not be qualified as overstock.

Does the Inventory Planner module work with multiple inventory warehouses?

The Inventory Planner module does not support Magento warehouse management, but it is capable of showing the inventory data for multiple sources of goods in the catalog of your store.

Most of the information in the Inventory, Replenishment and Overstock grids is displayed for a sum of the products available at each product source your store uses. For each source, it is possible to view individual data on the total quantity of items available and the saleable quantity. The latter is the total quantity in a warehouse minus the quantity reserved by orders that are currently not shipped.

How is the replenishment proposition calculated?

The Inventory Planner module is capable of displaying the date on which the inventory for a particular product should be renewed. It also proposes for each item that is specified for stock replenishment the restock quantity that needs to be ordered. The exact formula for the replenishment proposition calculation is available in the module's documentation.

Is the inventory stock number of a product visible to the customer?

The Inventory Planner extension was designed for usage by the store staff in the backend admin panel of the store. The inventory data is not available on the frontend of the shop, and customers can not access information on the stock numbers for any product of your store's catalog. Details of the module configuration can be found in its documentation.

Can Inventory Planner be applied to products with a quantity measured in units other than pieces?

This extension tracks the product stock by its quantity left in the store's inventory. Usually the quantity refers to the number of individually packaged products. The Inventory Planner can not directly track goods that are sold by measurable size. Still, it is possible to use a product unit of measurement as a quantity for the Inventory Planner to be able to track the inventory amount of such products.

For example, a textile is measured in square meters. If the store that sells textiles uses 1 square meter as 1 quantity on the stock, the Inventory Planner module will be able to track the inventory numbers.

Is it possible to find inventory data on a specific product?

Our extension provides inventory data filtering capabilities. Use filters to find inventory amounts for any item in your store catalog. Filter the catalog by either SKU, or a product name. The filtering can be done when SKU and product name are specified simultaneously.

How can I update the inventory indexes if the regular update exceeds the allowed time due to a store's massive product catalog?

In order to obtain the most recent inventory data in the Inventory Planner, it its necessary to manually launch an update by pressing the Update button.

The update operation launched by the Update button must finish within the designated time limit, but some stores can have such an extensive product catalog that the update operation exceeds the time limit and results in an error message. In such case, use a command for a command line interface bin/magento mirasvit:inventory-planner:reindex.
