This is a stock-review question — “understocked” here means weeks-of-cover falling below the route trigger. Let me read the reorder workflow and decision cards so I reconstruct the cockpit metric rather than inventing my own.

Thought

I have the recipe and the data is fresh through 6 Jul: APQ-W = mean of the 30/90/270-day weekly rates; cover = grade-1 pickable stock ÷ APQ-W. But shelf cover alone isn’t the honest answer — an item light on the shelf may already have stock on the water, so net off open purchase orders before calling anything understocked.

open quotes touching APD: 3 contract customers · 9,240 units potential Clarendon Contracts (2 Jul), Meridian Fit-Out (30 Jun), Northcote Construction (28 Jun) all three flagged “project start Q3” on the quote header

Thought

That’s the story: 24 genuinely understocked after counting inbound; APD-24 is the deepest breach and the quote pipeline says demand is about to jump, not fade. Answer with the ranked set and the APD-24 forecast.

You have 24 understocked SKUs right now. APD-24 in particular — I expect a large demand spike given the upcoming construction projects across your customer base.

Left unordered, APD-24 crosses zero around 20 July — the dashed path above — right as the Clarendon, Meridian and Northcote projects start drawing stock. Covering all 24 SKUs takes three purchase orders — 41,300 units: Chenghui (CN) first for APD-24, then Athvale (IN) and Verbeke (BE).

Should I create the purchase orders?
