Overview
Learn about the Total Correction Metric in Fluent Analytics
Key points
- On hand inventory is offset by any corrections and thereby reduces the total availability to sales channels
- Product issues or location processes can result in higher correction quantities
What it measures
Total inventory adjustments made to correct discrepancies between system and physical counts in the selected time period.
When to use this metric
- Monitor corrected quantities arising from rejections and short picks at fulfilling locations
- Assess inventory inaccuracy issues by locations/products
How to interpret
- Good performance: Low levels of correction quantities
- Potential issues: High levels of corrections potentially indicate inventory discrepancies and/or trends by product/location
- Benchmark guidance: Lowering correction quantities has a direct impact on lowering rejection rates
