• Key Concepts: 
  Target stock is a feature of the IS-R SAP for Retail component that allows retailers to set a target stock level for each item in their inventory. This target stock level is used to determine when to order more of an item and how much to order. The target stock level is based on the retailer's desired inventory levels and can be adjusted as needed.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use target stock, retailers must first set a target stock level for each item in their inventory. This can be done manually or through an automated system. Once the target stock levels are set, the system will automatically order more of an item when the current inventory level drops below the target stock level. The system will also calculate how much of an item should be ordered based on the target stock level and current inventory levels.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting target stock levels, it is important to consider factors such as customer demand, seasonality, and supplier lead times. Setting too low of a target stock level can lead to out-of-stock situations, while setting too high of a target stock level can lead to excess inventory and higher costs. It is also important to regularly review and adjust target stock levels as needed.
