For those who don't know yet, the mandatory withdrawal button is a new legal requirement in the European Union (Directive 2023/2673), effective from 19 June 2026, designed to make it as easy for consumers to withdraw from online contracts as it is to conclude them.

Questions regarding the Purchases thirty bees module.

1. Does it keep track of pack sales also? If I sell 10x of certain product but the product pack has no set supplier as it relies on products with set suppliers does it calculate those sales? If it does not track them what happens if the products in the pack come from different suppliers?

2. Could we have in future supplier MOQ and Minimal stock levels settings? Lets say we have a discount for full box of certain item and we wish to order only per said quantity but by piece for other items from that supplier. Minimal stock levels should be set by the merchant (per product/reference) and if the quantity on hand drops lower than the said number, the difference should be suggested always even if the calculation does not offer it.

3. Can you describe this setting? Why the default was only Canceled? And should we keep it that way?

4. I assume that all settings for costs in the module Settings take into account the default currency and not the supplier default currencies?

5. When adding a supplier and then supplier references could we automatically pick the currency based on the selected supplier default currency? Currently the drop down shows the default shop currency and we have to fix this every time if both are different.

6. What do Safe stock and Reorder point mean?

Introducing Purchases Module

This premium module can help you optimize and streamline your inventory purchases.

Purchases module is build around an algorithm to calculate optimal quantity to order for each product. This algorithm takes into account

your desired service rate for product (for example, you want to have product readily on stock with 95% probability)
cost of placing supply orders (overhead you pay for purchasing)
cost of stock ownership (overhead you pay for keeping stock in your warehouse)
supplier lead time (some supplier can deliver in 3 days, other in 90 days)
actual demand on product -- how much have you been selling this product (weight average)

The algorithm will take all this, and for each product generates information like safety stock, reorder point, reorder quantity, etc.

The numbers heavily depen on algorithm input parameters. Initially, you should tweak the parameters and observe how these calculated metric changes, until you are satisfied.

On top of these data we have build a Purchase Order tool. You can easily create purchase orders for each supplier. The module will advice you what and how many items you should order.

You can also set up module to automatically generate Purchase Order drafts for you (for products that are low on stock and should be ordered).

This can greatly help you with your purchase process. And, if set up correctly, it can help you optimise you cash flow -- don't keep all your operational money in stock that can depreciate in time.
