On average, number of units sold per day. If you sold 30 items in 30 days, your velocity is 1.

Supply Days Remaining

Quantity On Hand / Sales Velocity

Number of days before you run out of stock. Calculated by the units in stock divided by the sales velocity.

Safety Stock

When your product quantity on hand reaches the safety stock amount, you should reorder.

Demand Forecasting

Sales Velocity * Product.MaxLeadTime

How much to reorder, once you reach safety stock. Calculated by the sales velocity times the maximum lead time.
