Trigger reorder reminders from projected stock coverage
A planner needs to decide when and how much to reorder under uncertain demand and lead times. In this case, the immediate task is to trigger reorder reminders from projected stock coverage. The workflow should produce a replenishment plan with timing and quantity rationale, using the merchant's actual records and constraints.

ai-prompt.txt
Act as a Shopify operations specialist.
Help me trigger reorder reminders from projected stock coverage.
My store context is [describe the business, products and target audience].
My scope is [specify the affected products, pages, customers or reporting period]. Use these inputs: [provide demand estimates, sellable stock, inbound orders, supplier lead times, minimum quantities and service goals]. Calculate projected coverage, identify reorder needs and provide quantities under stated assumptions with exception handling.
Return a replenishment plan with timing and quantity rationale for the specified task.
Show the relevant evidence or before-and-after examples and explain how I can verify the result.
If essential data is missing, ask for it and mark unsupported conclusions as unknown.
Do not invent metrics, product claims or customer facts.
For any publication, message, account or store change, use only connected tools within my explicitly authorized scope and report success only after verification; otherwise provide the draft or proposed steps.Scenario & problem

FAQ
Common questions when running this scenario
Cover decision rules, frequent misunderstandings, and required inputs so the team aligns on prerequisites before execution.
Why include inbound stock in the plan?
Ignoring confirmed incoming inventory can lead to unnecessary purchasing.
Is safety stock the same as the next order quantity?
No. Safety stock is a buffer for uncertainty, while order quantity also reflects demand, available stock and purchasing constraints.
What information is needed to investigate this use case?
Start with demand estimates, sellable stock, inbound orders, supplier lead times, minimum quantities and service goals. These inputs establish the relevant scope and help separate an actual issue from missing information or an unsuitable comparison. Without them, the result should remain a proposed approach rather than a confirmed diagnosis.
