In order to predict accurate replenishment recommendations, you will need to set the lead time and days of stock for your products.

The lead time is the amount of time that elapses between placing a purchase order and receiving products. 

Days of stock is a period of time for which you’d like to have enough stock - in other words, the stock cover.

You can update lead time and days of stock:

In the Replenishment screen, update the lead time and days of stock by typing into the columns on each variant row.

Click on the field where you would like to update information and type in the new lead time or days of stock.

Then Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

Go to Catalog > Vendors, then click "Settings" beneath the vendor.

Go into the vendor's Settings tab and change the lead time and days of stock for the corresponding warehouse.

Then click 'Save' at the bottom of the page.

A pop-up will appear asking you to whether you want to update the lead time and days of stock for every variant associated with the vendor. If you don't opt to "update variants", the changes will only apply to newly associated variants, not existing ones.

You can set different lead times per location if you have multiple warehouses set up in your Inventory Planner account.

​Read more about how to associate variants with vendors.

You can change the lead time and days of stock for products in bulk in the replenishment report. In order to do so:

In Catalog > Warehouse, you can update the lead time and days of stock for each variant, for all locations.

Once you've set the lead time and days of stock per warehouse, click the Save changes button at the bottom of the screen.

In the Replenishment screen, click Import > Variant settings.

You'll see the available columns listed on the bottom of the import section, or you can download the CSV template and fill that in.

Once your CSV file is prepared and ready, drag the file to the import section, or click the button to upload it.

Once it's been uploaded, click "Map fields" to be taken to a screen where you can check and confirm the columns on the file are linked to the desired fields in Inventory Planner.

Ensure lead time and days of stock are mapped correctly, then click 'Import' to complete the import.

You will then see an import summary screen that will confirm changes or flag any errors that the system experienced during the import.
