|---|---|---|---|
| ATP | Total inventory that can be promised. | Includes on-hand stock plus future inventory. | Show items as Available to order with future delivery date. |
| ATS | Inventory physically on-hand. | Prevents selling stock not immediately available. | Set to (Total On-Hand) - (Safety Stock) - (Allocated Stock). |
| Safety Stock | A buffer quantity held back. | Prevents overselling. | Set a fixed number e.g. 2 units. |
