WHAT IS A BUFFER ORDER?
A buffer order is an extra-units order you add on top of confirmed sales to cover rejects, scrap, or unexpected demand. It “tops-up” stock so you have a safety cushion and don’t risk running short.
WHAT IS A NEGATIVE BUFFER ORDER?
A negative buffer order does the opposite: it subtracts units from that safety cushion when you realise you no longer need the extras (for example, fewer rejects than expected or an over-production). It brings inventory back down to the right level.
