Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Available-to-promise inventory is the portion of projected inventory that is available to fulfill new orders after considering the existing orders and commitments. This helps marketing to make realistic commitments about delivery dates for new orders. Beginning inventory is the inventory available at the start of a period, safety stock inventory is the inventory that is kept to handle unexpected demand fluctuations, and marketable inventory refers to inventory that is ready to be sold or marketed. None of these options adequately describe the portion of projected inventory that enables realistic commitment about delivery dates.
