Teach you how to make Amazon's scientific replenishment schedule step by step. Many sellers rely on feeling that they only have half of the inventory left, then quickly restock. Other sellers see that the inventory is still too much, and then they delay shipping. As a result, they suddenly sell out of stock or restock too much. The peak season hasn't arrived yet. The off-season came first, and the funding chain was directly strained. These problems are essentially because you don't have a scientific set of replenishment logic. Today, Ye Ge will teach you how to use a replenishment form and divide it into 5 steps to complete your replenishment It's reasonable and well-founded.

First step

Let's first sort out the product information clearly. Before you restock, you must first know what products you have. In the form, we will first record the SKU, ASIN, and your product name, as well as the restocking site, and whether the product is in sale or discontinued. These are all the starting points of your restock schedule, so keep one thing in mind. Don't forget the SKU as soon as you go up, you can calculate the shipment quantity; it's easy to misship or miss the item.

Second step

Judging the low peak season
In the form, you can fill in the beginning and end time of the peak season and the start and end time of your off-season. After filling in the form, it will automatically determine when you ship and when the product arrives. What you are most afraid of making up mistakes when replenishing the order is the point in time. Once you have these, you can see the status of the replenishment period.

Step 3

Conduct sales analysis
Replenishment depends on the trend. Don't just look at how many orders were sold yesterday. In the table, we fill in the table with average daily sales, 3-day sales, 7-day sales, 14-day sales, and 30-day sales, and a steady trend of rising and falling sales. Let me give you an example. Your average daily sales volume for the past 30 days was 100 orders, but you suddenly became 150 orders in the last 7 days, and it continues to rise, so you need to consider the trend growth when you restock.

Step 4

You need to combine your inventory with your lead time to calculate safe inventory. The production cycle is measured in months, and the transportation cycle is measured in months. In addition, you also need to compare your FBA inventory, in-transit inventory, overseas warehouse inventory, and in-production inventory, then you also need to know your monthly inventory sales ratio, that is, inventory divided by your average monthly sales volume, and also know your sellable days and the date you sell out. If the number of months in the existing inventory cycle is less than your preparation cycle, you must restock, otherwise your product is out of stock.

Step 5

We want to generate a shipping plan. You need to fill in all of the above form items. The form will automatically determine whether you want to restock the item, your latest shipping time, and the quantity you are restocking.
