| Days of inventory < 14 | Current stock ÷ Daily avg sales < 14 | Start restocking immediately |
| Days of inventory 14-30 | Current stock ÷ Daily avg sales = 14-30 | Begin planning restock |
| Days of inventory > 45 | Current stock ÷ Daily avg sales > 45 | Hold off; watch storage fees |
| 7-day sales growth > 30% | This week sales / Last week sales > 1.3 | Restock early to prevent stockout |
| 30 days before major sale | White Friday / Founding Day approaching | Stock 2-3x normal daily sales volume |

FAQ
When should I start restocking Noon FBN inventory?
Start restocking when days of inventory falls below 14. Before major sales events (White Friday, Founding Day), begin preparation 30 days in advance as booking and inbound processing require extra time.
How do I calculate the right restocking quantity?
Restock quantity = Daily average sales × Target days of inventory - Current stock. Set target days of inventory to 30-45 days normally, up to 60 days before major sales. Also consider Noon's per-ASN quantity limits.
How long does the full FBN restocking process take?
From creating the plan to inbound completion, it typically takes 5-10 business days: plan creation 1 day, booking 1-3 days (depends on availability), preparation and labeling 1-2 days, shipping and inbound processing 2-4 days.
Which warehouse should I choose for restocking?
Choose the warehouse closest to your main customer base for faster delivery. Saudi sellers typically use RUH-01 or JED-01, UAE sellers use DXB-01. If the target warehouse is full, switch to another available one.
What if received quantity doesn't match my declaration?
If the warehouse receives a different quantity than declared, check the discrepancy details in Seller Lab. Short-received items can be included in the next shipment, or submit a ticket for warehouse recount. Over-shipped items may be returned.
