Stock Reorder Tracker
Track every SKU's on-hand vs reorder point — the board that flags what to order before it stocks out.
On-hand at or below the reorder point = order now. This is the operational companion to the reorder-point and EOQ calculators — compute the levels there, manage the triggers here.

Inventory formulas use the model and inputs you provide — they are decision aids, not guarantees. EOQ, safety-stock and reorder math rest on assumptions (demand pattern, lead-time stability, cost accuracy) that rarely hold perfectly; treat results as a starting point and adjust to your data, service-level target and risk tolerance.
Calculating reorder points is half the job; the other half is noticing when stock actually hits them. This tracker is the operational board — every SKU with its on-hand quantity, its reorder point, and its EOQ order size — that turns the theory into a daily action list. The summary counts how many items have dropped to or below their trigger, so the morning question 'what do I need to order?' has an instant, objective answer instead of a warehouse walk and a guess.
About Stock Reorder Tracker
The discipline it enforces is the one that prevents stockouts: when on-hand falls to the reorder point, you order — the EOQ quantity, from the named supplier, before the lead time runs out the buffer. The status field (OK, reorder now, on order, backordered) keeps the replenishment pipeline visible, so an item doesn't get ordered twice or, worse, sit forgotten between 'reorder now' and an actual PO. Backordered items get the visibility they deserve, since those are the ones already costing you sales. It's deliberately the companion to the calculators, not a replacement: compute each SKU's reorder point on the reorder-point calculator (lead-time demand + safety stock) and its order size on the EOQ calculator, then load the levels here and manage the triggers. For a small operation this board plus those two formulas is a complete, free reorder system — no software subscription, all in your browser. As SKUs and complexity grow it remains the clear, honest view of what's running low, which is the thing every inventory system ultimately exists to tell you.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know when to reorder a SKU?+
When on-hand stock falls to or below the reorder point — that's the trigger this board flags. The reorder point (computed on the reorder-point calculator) is set so that ordering at that level gives the replenishment time to arrive before you run out, with safety stock as the cushion. The summary's 'at/below reorder point' count is literally your order-now list; clear it and you've prevented the stockouts that level was designed to avoid.
How is this different from the reorder-point calculator?+
The calculator computes the level (lead-time demand + safety stock) for one SKU; this tracker manages the live triggers across all your SKUs — comparing each item's current on-hand against its reorder point and showing which have breached it. Calculate the levels once (and refresh periodically as demand/lead times change), then use this board day to day. Theory in the calculator, operations in the tracker.
Why track order status, not just stock level?+
To avoid the two replenishment failures: double-ordering (an item shows below reorder point, so someone orders it again — when a PO is already out) and forgotten orders (an item sits 'needs ordering' but nobody actioned it). The status field (reorder now / on order / backordered) makes the pipeline visible so each low item is handled exactly once. Backordered status especially earns its place — those are active lost-sales situations needing escalation, not just monitoring.
Is this enough to run inventory for a small business?+
For many, yes — this board plus the EOQ and reorder-point calculators is a complete, free reorder system: it tells you what to order, how much, and from whom, all in your browser with no subscription. It scales to a few hundred SKUs comfortably. Beyond that — real-time sales integration, multi-location, automated POs — you'd graduate to inventory software, but the logic stays identical, and starting here teaches you exactly what that software should do (and lets you check that it's doing it).
