Techniques for automatically tracking, ordering, and replenishing prescription item stock are provided. Based upon a statistical analysis of prescription order transactions, rules may be established to selectively identify which prescription stocked items qualify for automatic stock tracking, ordering, and replenishment. The rules may be based upon metrics such as a daily rate at which each prescription item is dispensed over a specified sampling period as well as the cost of each prescription item. Once qualified, automatic replenishment may be facilitated by calculating stock number minimums and maximums using a statistical analysis of the prescription transaction history for qualifying prescription items. The minimum and maximum stock number values may be used to trigger the generation of purchase orders and to specify how much stock needs to be ordered for each qualifying prescription item as it is replenished.
