A team can move unevenly across sizes
In the example below, M has three outstanding requests and no matching stock. L has one request and four usable pieces. Reordering the same amount of M and L would ignore what is already covered.
These numbers are illustrative, not a recommended size ratio or a record of real sales. Your own customers and offered-product measurements determine the relevant requirements.
Past sales are context, not a fixed mix
If M sold repeatedly, ask whether new M requests remain outstanding. Do not treat every completed sale as a current requirement. Check whether incoming M pieces already cover the new requests.
An L or XL may be an agreed alternative for a buyer, but do not assume it. Version-specific measurements and the customer’s acceptance matter.
Leave zero-gap sizes out of the immediate purchase
Keep a covered size at review quantity 0. If later requests arrive or stock becomes unavailable, revisit that row. A complete size run can look tidy while tying up money in pieces you do not need.
Confirm whether the exact size and quantity can currently be supplied. There is no universal restock ratio in the tool.
Check the inputs.
- Separate each size
- Use outstanding—not completed—demand
- Check matching incoming
- No complete size run assumed
- Confirm measurement-sensitive alternatives
