Highlight Inventory that is running low based on previous sales

We are standard nothing fancy National Distributor

We want to better manage our inventory of over 10,000 product lines.

We want the system to highlight SKUS that are running low not based on a fixed order point or min/max levels but based on previous sales. ( ie average 4 weeks over the past 90 days or whatever)

Ie. if a SKU sold 45 last month and we have 20 in stock ( with none on purchaseorder), i want nav to highlight to us that potentially we are understocked.

Fixed order points are not working for us and we are not able to check them line by line for each product.

Also does nav have a standard stock inventory by days report as i cant seem to find it.

I've asked our NAV developers but they are based in india and i don't think they seem perplexed why we cant manually update 10,000 reorder points everytime we order.

    It depends whether you can do coding in C/AL or not. It will also take a bit of knowledge of NAV.

    Thank you for your answer. Is it something that I can design myself? I did try use the requisition worksheet for that and gave up.

    There is no option to suggest the SKUs based on previous sales in NAV. However, it is easy to develop report / requisition worksheet for that.

    For stock inventory, there is Items by Location or Inventory Valuation. Not sure if that is good enough for you.
