Troubleshooting

Start here when something is not behaving the way you expect. Each article below covers one symptom, with the checks in the order that resolves the most cases first.

• A product shows no days of cover, or reads "no sales data"With no recent sales the rate is zero, so the product can never be flagged low and never gets a reorder suggestion.
• A product is low on stock but the suggested order quantity is zeroUsually stock you have already ordered: incoming quantity counts towards the requirement, so the app will not tell you to order twice.
• The suggested quantity is much larger than expectedThe order covers your target window plus the whole lead time, and a supplier minimum acts as a floor under the result.
• The lead time being used is not the one I setLead time comes from the linked supplier, falls back to your store default when none is linked, and uses the cheapest of several.
• A product is marked as overstockedA deliberate flag for stock covering more than roughly six months of sales, there to surface cash tied up in slow inventory.
• Autopilot did not create the purchase orders I expectedAutopilot declines silently for four reasons: switched off, not on your plan, already ran this week, or no saved configuration.
• Still stuckWhat to send us so we can read the exact rate, incoming quantity, lead time and supplier behind that row.
