First Day Below Reorder Point

SQL practice question · Hard · Window Functions · Amazon, Zepto

inventory_moves holds stock movements (positive = inbound, negative = outbound); a SKU can have several moves on the same day. End-of-day stock = opening_stock + all moves up to and including that day. For each SKU find the first move_date on which end-of-day stock is strictly below its reorder_point (a dip inside a day that is restocked the same day does not count). Return sku, breach_date and stock_on_hand (end-of-day stock that day). SKUs that never breach are excluded. Order by breach_date, then sku.
