That channel isn't connected at the moment, so the figure is unknown — not zero.

—

The channel is connected and reports nothing for this product.

"+1,234 coming"

Stock on its way to that channel — shipped, or booked in and awaiting receipt. It can't be sold yet, but it is paid for and counts toward how long you're covered, so you don't reorder something already in transit. The Inbound total column adds it up across all three channels.

"1,234 held"

Stock that is physically there but cannot be sold right now — at Amazon, orders being picked or units moving between fulfilment centres; at AWD, stock that isn't distributable. It is not counted toward cover, and is shown only so a column reading zero doesn't hide a full pallet sitting in the warehouse.

Shopify sales

Target, TikTok and the TN and DP web stores, added together.

Sales over

Switches the four sales columns between the last month, the last three months and the full six — the headings show which you're looking at. Useful for spotting a product averaging 500 a month over six months but only 50 last month. Note the Priority verdict always uses the full six months whichever you pick: it is the steadier figure, and one quiet month should not flip a product to "Escalate".

Priority

How many months the stock lasts at the current rate of sale, counting what's in the channels, what's on its way, and the bulk that could still be bottled into this product. Hover a badge to see what to do about it, or click the i beside it for every figure the verdict was worked out from — including what the verdict would be if the inbound stock never turned up.

Bulk to buy (6mo)

How much bulk to order so there's enough cover, after counting stock on hand, stock on its way, and this product's share of the bulk already in the warehouse. Use Buy for above the table to switch between 1, 3 and 6 months — the column heading shows which you're looking at. A dash means there's already enough for that period. The exported CSV carries all three.

⚠

This product's bulk is also used by private-label lines that this dashboard has no sales figures for. They'll consume some of the same bulk, so the real cover is likely lower than shown.

What the priority badges mean

• Well stocked — over 6 months. Nothing to do.
• Note for next month — 4 to 6 months. Nothing yet, but keep an eye on it.
• Talk to the supplier — 3 to 4 months. Get a quote and a lead time.
• Place the order now — 2.5 to 3 months.
• Late — 1.5 to 2.5 months. Order today and ask about expediting.
• Escalate — under 1.5 months. Tell management, and ask suppliers about a quick partial shipment.
• Can't tell yet — no sales history, or nothing known about stock.

Where several products are made from the same bulk, it's divided between them in proportion to how fast each one sells, rather than each being counted as though it had all of it.
