Where do I enter my lead times, safety stock and warehouse stock?

Open Data Inputs › Supply chain. Type your production lead time on your account's line of the top table, then your transit times and stock targets on each warehouse's line. Every product inherits them, and the Inventory page tells you what to order and by when.

Checked against Nova's code on November 9, 2026

Who can edit it?

Admins and Workspace owners; a Workspace member sees it locked. It covers Seller Central accounts only, so a workspace that also holds Vendor Central sees it marked 3P.

What is on the page?
