LivePlannedToday: NETSTOCK, hand-keyed into BC
Replaces: a NETSTOCK spreadsheet row with no working shown
What the engine saysPlain English first, the arithmetic underneath
MSC East — Brentwood holds 166 free with 2 already inbound, which is 19 days of cover against a forecast of 8.8 a day. PAL needs 14 days on the assumed lead time, none is on record and class A carries 7 days of safety stock, so the target position is 185 units. Neither depot has spare cover, so buy 18 from PAL.
Do nothing and MSC East — Brentwood runs out on 15/09/2026, which is 19 days. PAL needs 14 days to deliver. That is about £622 of sales at risk on this line alone.

Every figure on this page is the one the order will carry. Accepting the line copies none of it by hand.
Cover against lead timeFree stock running down, day by day
The blue line is free stock falling at the forecast rate. The dashed marker is the earliest a supplier delivery could land. Where the line reaches zero first, the depot is short and no amount of ordering on the day it happens will fix it.
Twelve months of demandMSC East — Brentwood
No one-off month found in the last year. Variability is 13 per cent of the mean, which is what sets the confidence on this line.
Eight weeks aheadForecast inside its confidence band
Microfibre & Cloths runs at 95 per cent of an average month now and 108 per cent next month, which the forecast already carries.
The calculationEvery figure the engine used, in the order it used it
| Step | Why | Units |
|---|---|---|
| Free stock at the depot | 171 on hand less 5 already allocated to orders | 166 |
| Open purchase orders inbound | Counted once, never double counted with the depot holding | 2 |
| Position the engine works from | Free stock plus what is already inbound | 168 |
| Forecast demand a day | Eight weeks ahead, seasonally shaped, one-off months excluded | 8.79 |
| Lead-time demand | 8.79 a day for 14 days from PAL, assumed because no lead time is on record | 124 |
| Safety stock, class A | Class A carries 7 days of cover for the variability this line shows | 62 |
| Target position | Lead-time demand plus safety stock | 185 |
| Shortfall | Target position less the position now, which is why this line is on the queue | 17 |
| Rounded to the supplier multiple | PAL ships in cases of 6 | 18 |

Confidence is 62 per cent because demand varies by 13 per cent month to month and the supplier record carries no lead time so fourteen days was assumed.
Buy or transferTransfers are weighed before purchases, every time
Transfer from the other depot
MSC West — Feltham holds 134 free and needs all of it for its own cover, so there is nothing to move.
Buy from PALEngine leads with this

- Minimum order£250, so this line is combined onto the supplier's order rather than shipped alone
Fulfil elsewhere and substitute are the other two options in the client's scope. They are named here and not yet built, because a substitution rule needs their own product data to be honest.
