Reporting is the number only factor that should determine ordering frequency. The importance of reports to the inventory management process cannot be overemphasized.  Businesses can use their sales reports to determine ordering frequency, especially during the peak season. By looking back at the numbers sold in the previous seasons, businesses get a rough idea of the demand to expect and can plan more effectively towards it. Purchasing decisions are made a lot easier with the right information. Reports are the go-to place for accurate information about your business. You can also break down sales reports into various channels to get a better knowledge about what stocks sell best for each channel and the demand quantity.
