Adjusting safety stock

You can adjust the safety stock to set aside inventory for specific fulfillment channels.

1. Click the inventory icon on the navigation ribbon.
2. In the Inventory search page, from the Enterprise list, select the enterprise within which you want to search for inventory items.
   Note: The Enterprise list is displayed only if there are more than one enterprise within your network. If your network has only one enterprise, it will be selected by default.
3. Enter the inventory related information in the search fields, and click Search to view the Search results page.
4. In the Search results page, select an item or SKU and click Adjust safety stock on the table header. You can also click the overflow menu and the end of each row and select Adjust safety stock.
5. The various elements in the Adjust safety stock page are explained in the following table.
   Important: For configurations with Global Inventory Visibility:

   • Safety stock percentages are not supported in this UI. If you have a node that has a safety stock set with percentage, the percentage value will not reflect on this page and cannot be edited in these screens. You also cannot input the safety stock percentage values in the fields below. If a safety stock percentage has been applied at the node, it will be used together with the value and it does not get replaced.
   • You may see some grayed out sections when using Order Hub software version. This capability is available only when using IBM® Sterling™ Intelligent Promising Inventory Visibility. If you want to remove the grayed out sections from the UI, contact your IBM Account Representative.
