restocking

Replacing depleted inventory

Restocking is replenishing inventory or supplies that have been depleted.

Stores restock shelves after sales, hunters restock lakes with fish, and households restock pantries after grocery runs: We're closed for restocking.

The word implies returning something to its previous level rather than adding to it for the first time.
