ECOMMERCE TOOL / 53
Know your coverage.
Plan the next order.
See how many days your current inventory covers, how incoming stock changes the picture, and whether you are already at the reorder point.
Coverage is a planning estimate based on your average daily sales. Use a conservative demand number for seasonal or fast-changing products.

QUICK ANSWERS
Why subtract committed stock?
Committed units are already promised to customers or orders, so they should not count as freely available inventory.
Does incoming stock prevent a stockout?
Only if it arrives before current available stock is consumed. Use the lead-time and reorder tools alongside this estimate.
