Store Groups
To define groups of stores for which reordering has to be triggered together. For example, if all online points of sales are grouped as one store group called "Online", then the style demand will be aggregated across all stores in the "Online" store group.
Store groups can also be formed at a city/region level or even a custom group of stores for which reordering is to be done for.
| Column Header | Explanation |
|---|---|
| channel | Channel to which the store belongs to |
| store_code | Unique code assigned for a particular store |
| store_group | Name/number given to the group which certain stores belong. |
Cover Days and Target Store Spread
Cover days are the target inventory cover (in days) which needs to be maintained at an optimum level. In case the brand wants to extrapolate the demand to reorder for new stores (not present in historical data), they can provide the number of stores in the store spread column for which the demand will be extrapolated in the algorithm.

|---|---|
| store_group | The name of the store group assigned for a set of stores in the store group input |
| channel | Channel to which the certain stores belong to which you want to reorder for |
| style_code | The unique code of a particular style |
| target_stores | The no. of stores for which you target to reorder for |
| cover_days | The no. of days for which you would like to keep stock at those stores you are reordering for |

| store_group | The name of the store group assigned for a set of stores in the store group input |
