Order period

The order period is the number of days between two orders. This determines the number of days you want to order. If the order period is 7 days, an order will be placed every 7 days, i.e. once a week.

Optiply calculates the optimal order period based on the supplier's product range, fixed order costs, and minimum order quantity.

Reorder period

This is the order period you can fill in yourself. Enter this number in situations where you wish to order more or less often than advised by Optiply. We use the order period advised by Optiply to set up the agenda. We will always use the manual order period if you enter a different number.

To set the reorder period go to the Suppliers Page and select the supplier you need to change, click on the Information tab and under the Order Cycle you'll see the reorder period set the number of days.

Don't forget to save in the end.

We recommend an order period of at least 7 days (one order every week) or a multiple of that period. If you would like to order more than once a week, please let us know at support@optiply.nl. We will then set up a weekly manual agenda (e.g. on Mondays and Thursdays).
