How to edit safety stock?

Safety stock can be configured on facility level by clicking on the three-dot menu on the right. Safety stock can be defined on facility level. It work as a buffer for offline sales to ensure that online sales do not cannibalize offline sales. If the safety stock is reached within a facility, the facility is not considered for routing any more so that no online orders are accepted to be fulfilled from this facility. Users can configure a different safety stock quantity for each listing.
