Seasonal Schedule

Smart seasonal planning for optimal inventory

With the new Seasonal Planning add-on for Uniconta , you Uniconta the entire process of smart inventory management and procurement optimization. The module calculates an intelligent reorder recommendation for each item based on consumption, lead time, safety stock, and classification, ensuring you always have the right inventory available at the right time.

By using A/B/C classifications and dynamic inventory levels, you can avoid both lost sales and unnecessary overstocking. The solution automatically checks minimum order values per supplier and intelligently recommends which items to increase in order to efficiently meet order thresholds. This improves delivery reliability, reduces tied-up capital, and gives you full control over the procurement process.

From analysis to concept ordering: Seasonal Planning directly converts ordering recommendations into open purchase orders within a single integrated workflow in Uniconta.

Key functionalities

  • Automatic optimal ordering recommendations per item
    Calculates a smart ordering recommendation for each item based on consumption, lead time, safety stock, and classification.
  • Classification-based inventory levels (A/B/C)
    Adjust the service level and coverage by classification so that fast-moving items are restocked more quickly and slow-moving items remain under control.
  • Group and item settings with fallback logic
    Set growth and classification centrally at the item or group level, with automatic inheritance if item values are not filled in.
  • Monitor minimum order value per supplier
    Automatically checks whether the order proposal meets the minimum order value and provides clear notification in case of a deviation.
  • Smartly top up to the minimum order value
    Carefully supplement the proposal with priority items (e.g., classification, turnover rate, or stockout risk) to efficiently meet the threshold.
  • Ready to use with open purchasing rules
    Convert order recommendations into purchasing rules while maintaining control: quantities, supplier, order size, and validation—all in a single workflow.
  • Fewer lost sales, less excess inventory
    Improves delivery reliability without tying up unnecessary capital by striking a better balance between availability and inventory value.

How does it work?

  • Set parameters in
    . Define growth, classification, lead time, and safety stock for each item or group.
  • Calculate Order Recommendations
    The module calculates the required replenishment level and suggests order quantities based on demand and settings.
  • Group by supplier
    All suggested lines are grouped by supplier into a draft order.

  • Minimum Order Value Check: For each supplier, the system checks whether the total exceeds the minimum order threshold.
  • Optimize where necessary
    If the level is too low: the module recommends which rules can be adjusted to meet the threshold with minimal risk.
  • Approve and place the order
    After reviewing it, convert the recommendation directly into purchase orders.
