-Visibility days
-===============
-
-*Visibility days* enable the ability to determine if additional quantities should be added to the
-planned replenishment. Odoo checks if forecasted stock on the forecasted date will drop below the
-minimum in the reordering rule. **Only if** it is time to reorder, visibility days check additional
-future demand by the specified number of days.
-
-.. note::
-   Visibility days extend the standard just-in-time replenishment logic by looking beyond the
-   immediate forecasted date. To fully understand how Odoo determines when replenishment is
-   triggered, refer to the :doc:`Just-in-time logic <just_in_time>`
-
-This feature helps consolidate orders by grouping immediate and near-future needs, reducing
-transport costs and enabling supplier discounts for larger orders.
-
-To set visibility days to incorporate orders for a specified number of days in the future, navigate
-to :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Operations --> Replenishment`, or by clicking the *Reordering
-Rules* smart button from the product form.
-
-Next, enable the :guilabel:`Visibility Days` field by clicking the |adjust| to the far right and
-choosing the feature from the drop-down menu. Then, enter the desired visibility days.
-
-.. important::
-   The forecasted date is never pushed forward or extended; Odoo only checks the extra visibility
-   days if the stock falls below the minimum threshold on the forecasted date.
-
-Example where visibility days is triggered
-------------------------------------------
-
-A product shipped from Asia has a combined vendor lead time of 30 days and a shipping cost of $100
-(including :doc:`landed costs <../../inventory_valuation/landed_costs>` and
-tariffs).
-
-- November 4: Current date. The forecasted date is December 4 (30 days later).
-- |SO| 1: Requires the product by Dec 4. Odoo places the order today, costing $100.
-- |SO| 2: Requires the product by Dec 19. Normally, Odoo would order on Nov 19, costing an
-  additional $100.
-- |SO| 3: Requires the product by Dec 25. Normally, Odoo would order on Nov 25, costing another
-  $100.
-
-Ordering separately for these sales orders totals $300 in shipping costs.

+Horizon days
+============
 
-Setting :guilabel:`Visibility Days` to `20.0` allows Odoo to "look ahead" 20 days from December 4
-(|SO| 1's forecasted date) to December 24.
+*Horizon days* allow users to extend the time window between today's date and the forecasted date
+when calculating for the forecasted quantity. This features allows users to plan and restock
+inventory proactively, rather than following a just-in-time approach. The feature is meant to help
+users plan replenishment in advance by increasing the :ref:`forecasted date
+<inventory/warehouses_storage/forecasted-date>`.
 
-- It groups |SO| 2's order with |SO| 1, reducing shipping costs by consolidating orders.
-- |SO| 3, which is due on Dec 25, is one day late and is not grouped with the other two orders.

+Since horizon days are only meant to be used with manual reordering rules, find details about the
+feature in the :doc:`Replenishment report article <report>`.
 
-- **November 4**: Current date. The forecasted date is December 4 (30 days later).
-- **November 5**: The forecasted date shifts to December 5.
-- |SO| 2: Requires the product by December 19. Odoo will only trigger the order on November 19,
-  meaning the user will not see a replenishment notification until then.
+.. note::
+   Horizon days are configured on a company level.
 
-This shows that visibility days complement just-in-time logic by optimizing it to balance
-replenishment costs more effectively.
+The default horizon days setting can be set or updated by navigating to the
+:menuselection:`Inventory app --> Advanced Scheduling`. Enter the desired number of days in the
+:guilabel:`Replenishment Horizon` field, and click :guilabel:`Save`.

-Horizon days
-============
+Example of how horizon days affect replenishment planning
+---------------------------------------------------------
 
-*Horizon days* determine how many days ahead Odoo checks if the forecasted quantity will drop below
-reordering rule's minimum. The feature is meant to help users plan replenishment in advance, by
-increasing the :ref:`forecasted date <inventory/warehouses_storage/forecasted-date>`.
+On the Replenishment report, there are currently two products listed due for reordering: `Drawer,
+Black` and `Corner Desk`. This is based on their current level of on-hand stock, and their
+forecasted stock level. The default horizon days is set as `20`.
 
-.. math::
-   :class: overflow-scroll
+.. image:: reordering_rules/twenty-days.png
+   :alt: Replenishment report with horizon days set at 20.
 
-   \text{Forecasted date} = \text{Current date} + \text{Vendor Lead Time} + \text{Horizon Days}
+However, by extending the horizon days to `30`, an additional product is added to the list.
 
+.. image:: reordering_rules/thirty-days.png
+   :alt: Replenishment report with horizon days set at 30.
 
-Since horizon days are only meant to be used with manual reordering rules, find details about the
-feature in the :doc:`Replenishment report article <report>`.
+This is because the additional product, `[FURN_0789] Individual Workplace`, has a delivery scheduled
+in twenty-nine days, at which point their on-hand stock levels will fall below the minimum needed
+on-hand.
