Safety stock reserves inventory at each affected facility so that quantity is not promised to online orders. For example, if a facility has 100 units and a safety stock value of 10, the facility contributes at most 90 units before other deductions. {% embed url="" %} Attribute-Based Safety Stock {% endembed %} ## Create a safety stock rule 1. Open `Sourcing` > `Safety stock`. 2. Select `Create safety stock rule` when the page has no rules, or select the add button. 3. Enter a unique `Name`. 4. Enter a non-negative `Safety stock` value. 5. Define the facility scope: * Turn on `Select all facility groups` to apply the rule to every available group. * Otherwise, select `Add` under `Included` and choose at least one facility group. * Add groups under `Excluded` to remove them from the included scope. 6. Select the button that shows the number of impacted facilities and confirm the resulting facility count. 7. Define the product scope under `Products by tags` and `Products by feature`. 8. Leave the product filters empty to apply the rule to all products in the facility scope. 9. Select the save button. If no facility groups are available, select `Create facility group` or `Use an existing group` from the rule form. ## Review and edit rules Expand a rule card to review its safety stock value, facility groups, and product filters. * Select the safety stock value chip to change the value without opening the full form. * Select `Edit rule` to change the name, facility scope, or product filters. * Select the archive button to remove the rule from the active sequence. * Expand `Archived` to restore an archived rule. ## Set rule priority The last matching rule in the sequence sets the safety stock value for a product and facility. Use the sequence button at the bottom of the page, drag broad rules before specific rules, then select the save button.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.hotwax.co/documents/retail-operations/inventory/available-to-promise/safety-stock-rules.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
