Stock: Calculate Orderpoint

Calculates

• consumtion_per_day (How many items consumes per day)
• orderpoint_computed (consumtion_per_day * delay)
• virtual_available_days (How many days will stock be available)

delay is calculated by sellers delay + po lead for the company or produce_delay + the company manufacturing lead.

Consumtion per day are calculated from number of days the product has been sold (up to a year) and how many items sold during the same period.

Calculated orderpoint are displayed for reordering rules minimum quantity.

The calculations are performed by a cron job. They can be very taxing if there are many sale order lines. To avoid timeouts and other issues, the job is set to run on 5 minute intervals, calculating up to 30 products, or for a maximum duration of 4 minutes. A simple schedule is also implemented, defaulting to between 00:00 and 06:00 in admin's timezone. All three of these values can be configured through system parameters.
