Determine Your Number of Forecasting Units
Annual subscriptions are determined based on the number of forecasting units. To calculate your number of forecasting units, multiply:
Number of SKUs x Number of Sales Channels x Number of Warehouses x Number of Forecasts per Month
For example, if you have 100 SKUs, 2 sales channels, 3 warehouses, and want to forecast weekly,
your forecasting units are 100 x 2 x 3 x 4 = 2,400.
Omit any SKUs, Channels, or Warehouses that you do not want to forecast.Implementation & Customization

FAQs
Demand Forecasting
We offer basic models that can predict common demand patterns. Your business model and marketing strategy might lead to different demand patterns.
To take advantage of machine learning, we suggest having a data mining process to understand the data insights and improve accuracy.
Demand Forecasting requires at least 6 months of historical data to be accurate.
Forecasting frequency can be configured at the product level to run daily, weekly, or monthly as required by your business needs.
Here is an example of a forecasting graph to show you what Demand Forecasting looks like at the product variant level:
The default is to run forecasts on the product variant level but this can be configured to the product level.
Yes. All of your forecasts can be viewed inside your instance of Odoo in the Forecasting App that comes with Smart Inventory.
Inventory Insights
Inventory Insights shows many key metrics beyond Odoo's inventory application including:
-
Understock risk
-
Overstock and excess value
-
Products near their reorder point
-
Products at proper stock level
-
Potential stock loss
-
Total inventory value
-
Return statistics
-
High-performance items
-
Overall stock health
Inventory Insights can be accessed from an easy-to-navigate dashboard in the Inventory application at any time. Key metrics are updated routinely throughout the day providing accurate insights during business operation without having to wait for a certain period -- such as your business day -- to end in order to generate and access reports.
Inventory Insights can be viewed in an easy-to-navigate visual dashboard providing an overview of key metrics with the ability to view deeper information as necessary.
Yes, the system continually monitors your inventory operations throughout the day and allows you to generate real time alerts so you can make adjustments as needed.
Stock Report automatically categorizes your inventory into three key groups:
-
Enough: You have enough inventory on hand
-
Order: You need to order inventory to maintain optimal levels
-
Urgent: Inventory levels urgently need to be replenished
This allows you to make decisions regarding your purchasing and sales efforts based on real time insights into your inventory levels.
Purchase Planning
Yes, forecasts from Demand Forecasting are one of the parameters considered when automatically generating purchase plans. This applies a layer of intelligence to the recommendations with consideration for upcoming demand based on historical data and projected consumer behavior.
Yes, draft purchase plans are automatically generated for you based on a combination of system recommendations and parameters that you define for your business. While these plans are automatically generated, manual approval is still required to process the purchase order ensuring that no purchases are made without knowledge or approval by stakeholders.
Purchase Planning generates recommendations based on several key parameters:
-
Cost analysis
-
Available vendor discounts or incentives
-
Vendor lead times
-
Time implications
These parameters and more are utilized to automatically generate recommendations that optimize for cost and time.
Yes, Purchase Planning allows you to easily import and export to Excel for portability and accessibility of your purchasing workflows. This allows you to integrate with existing manual workflows if necessary for your business needs.
While Purchase Planning utilizes powerful automation to save time and energy resources, you are able to make changes, pause, or stop the workflow as necessary.
Intelligent Replenishment
Demand Forecasting is one of many important parameters utilized by Intelligent Replenishment to define and maintain optimal inventory levels to prevent over and understock situations from occurring. Intelligent forecasting utilizes historical data as well as future trend analysis to ensure you have the right stock levels to meet your expected demand.
While Odoo allows you to set reordering points for continual purchasing, Intelligent Replenishment adds a layer of intelligence to the workflow. This helps the system account for anticipated changes in demand, supply chain implications, and vendor performance to prevent costly over and understock situations as opposed to relying upon static rules.
Intelligent Replenishment automatically optimizes reorder points or generates new reordering rules as market demand changes. This will also provide you with the option to generate purchase or manufacturing orders when reordering rules are triggered.
Intelligent Replenishment defines optimal inventory levels based on demand forecasts, service levels, supplier lead time, inventory cost and more. You are also able to make adjustments to the definition of your reorder points based on additional business parameters. As a result, the risk of over and understock situations is automatically reduced.
Reordering thresholds can be configured at the individual product level or in product batches depending on the level of granularity your business requires to stay on top of demand.
While Intelligent Replenishment utilizes powerful automation to save time and energy resources, you are able to make changes, pause, or stop the workflow as necessary.
