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:
Individually by variant
By vendor (supplier)
In bulk for variants through bulk actions
By warehouse
In bulk for variants through import
Updating lead time and days of stock by variant
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.
Updating lead time and days of stock by vendor
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.
