Illustrative planning example. Not a customer case study, real order, live stock count or verified sales result.
| Combination | Demand | Sellable | Incoming | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Same home design · Player M | 3 | 0 | 0 | 3 |
| Same home design · Player L | 1 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
The situation
Two rows refer to the same home design and version. M has three outstanding requests and no usable or incoming pieces. L has one request and four usable pieces. These are invented planning inputs used only to explain the calculation.
The review
M shows a gap of 3; L shows no immediate shortage and review quantity 0. This is not a size-ratio recommendation. The seller would still confirm actual reference, measurements, supply and shipping before agreeing to a reorder.
What would change the decision?
New confirmed L demand, an incorrect stock count or unavailable pieces would require a new calculation. The covered L row is left alone on the current inputs—not excluded from all future purchases.
