Safety Quantity

Updated 8 months ago

A Safety Quantity can be used to subtract a number from the available quantity. For example, if there are 5 units available and the Safety Quantity is 1, only 4 will be sent to Amazon.

This can be set on a company level so it defaults for all products, but it can still be overridden on a product level on the Amazon Properties page. 

It is important to realize that the safety quantity subtracts from the channel's available quantity, so if there is an available quantity of 5 and you have a safety quantity of 5, a quantity of zero will be sent to the channel.

Each channel has a default company-level safety quantity and a product-level safety quantity. On the channel's Settings page, there are two safety quantity settings - one for regular products and one for replenishable products. Typically, Safety Quantity can be set to 0 for replenishable products because there is no strict inventory for replenishable products.

Another option is to set percentages of available qty that should be sent to each channel.
