Reorder Point Quantity Reached Yet No Purchase Order Needed

As i know the "reorder point" is the inventory level at which a company decides to reorder more stock to avoid running out. However, in some cases, even though the reorder point quantity has been reached, a purchase order might not be needed. The company might be using EOQ principles to optimize order quantities. In some cases, EOQ calculations could suggest that it's not yet cost-effective to place an order, even though the reorder point has been reached. Some companies prefer to place orders in larger batches to take advantage of bulk discounts or shipping efficiencies. As a result, they might wait until a certain order quantity threshold is met before placing an order. There could be discrepancies in inventory tracking or inaccuracies in recording sales, leading to a misunderstanding of the actual inventory level and delaying the purchase order.
