Plan Shopify purchases with MOQs and case packs

A useful forecast still needs a valid supplier order

The raw requirement is a planning result. A case pack, minimum order quantity and minimum order value determine whether the supplier can accept the proposed purchase. Record these separately rather than hiding them in a manually inflated forecast.

Worked example: 46 becomes 48

Illustrative example: expected demand of 63 plus 12 safety units minus 29 available units leaves a requirement of 46. A supplier case pack of 12 rounds the quantity to 48. At US$10 a unit that is US$480, before any separate freight or tax considerations.

Minimum value is not the same as minimum quantity

If that supplier requires US$600 per order, the US$480 line may still be insufficient. Review the supplier group and any other valid requirements. Do not buy unnecessary stock merely to make a warning disappear.

Timing matters alongside the quantity

Lead time and ordering weekday affect when a decision needs action. Check arrival dates, existing inbound stock and the remaining cash limit before reviewing the final draft.

• Confirm case pack and MOQ for the supplier.
• Inspect any minimum order value at supplier level.
• Check lead time and expected arrival.
• Review the quantity and cost before exporting or ordering.

In the ReOrder workflow

Supplier rows come from the Vendor field on Shopify products. Each saved policy applies to every variant with that exact vendor.
