ATS Buffer Adjustment

Why it matters:

Stock levels used for planning or reporting often need to account for reserved stock, safety stock, or other internal margins. The ATS buffer adjustment lets you reduce reported ATS values automatically before they hit the system, helping prevent over-selling — all while keeping the original data unchanged so the buffer is never applied twice.

How it works

1. Brand-level toggle:

   • When OFF, imported ATS values are used as-is.

   • When ON, the buffer logic is applied.

2. Two buffer fields:

   • AtOnce Buffer → applied to "AtOnce" ATS values.

   • Future PO Buffer → applied to "Future PO" ATS values.
     
     

Example

Here, the buffer reduces stock before import. Negative results are floored to zero.

In short: it’s a configurable, safe way to automatically reduce stock numbers at import time without permanently altering the original data.
