Configure safety stock rules

Reserve facility-level inventory for selected products with safety stock rules.

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.
