## Stock Runway

Stock Runway shows how many days your current stock is expected to last based on the forecast. It highlights products that are likely to run out in the coming days.

When Stock Runway is active, the forecast cells are colour coded:

* **Green** — stock is sufficient to cover that day's expected demand
* **Yellow** -- stock is getting low
* **Red** — stock is expected to run out before or on that day

## Lead Time

When Lead Time is active, it factors in approximate delivery times when showing to give users insight how soon you need to order.

### Updating Lead Time on Stock Item

1. In the [**Admin Portal**](https://admin.gobossit.com/), go to the **group level**.
2. Navigate to **Stock > Items**.
3. Locate and click on the relevant stock item.
4. Set value for **Delivery lead time, days**.

{% hint style="info" %}
