Introduction

The Aptean Buffer Orders extension helps you manage inventory effectively. You can create buffer orders to set aside item quantities for specific purposes. For example, you can buffer inventory in advance for a customer or customer group and then create a sales order from the buffer order when needed. Additionally, you can buffer inventory for a location and create a transfer order from the buffer order to move the inventory.

The key benefits of using the Aptean Buffer Orders extension are:

• Flexible reservations: Buffer item quantities and adjust them dynamically based on changing business needs.
• Order fulfillment: Use the buffered inventory for upcoming transactions, ensuring timely deliveries and reducing risks of stock shortages.
• Increased efficiency: Create sales or transfer orders directly from buffer orders. Additionally, you can create buffer orders from purchase orders, simplifying your workflow.
