Safety Stock
With fast moving goods, inventory levels can often drift for a number of different reasons. Safety stock allows you to hold back some stock from your Origins as a margin of safety so you can fulfil all of your orders.
Setting safety stock on a group will apply to ALL products within the group and will be withheld from ALL origins.
Setting safety stock will not immediately update the stock levels at your Origins. This will only change when the inventory next changes. To force this through use the Re-Sync origins button in the inventory pages.
1. Click "Edit" on the group you wish to assign a safety stock to.
2. Click "Groups" from within the Products menu
This feature can also be controlled in the product group override settings
3. Enter the quantity you want to hold back in the "Safety Stock" field.
4. Click "Save"
