In the Current Inventory and Availability Projection report, the way the projection is calculated takes some time to settle to realistic values. This can be problematic for companies that bring coffee in with many small shipments on a regular basis, at least until forward contract support is added.
The suggested feature request was to make the use rate editable so people can make a better use rate estimate themselves and see how that impacts projected availability. It might also make sense to look at having the option to base projected availability not only on the current item, but also recent historical items from the same origin.
A broader rework of this report might be beneficial.
