Open to Buy

Hello, again!

Just to clarify I didn't just happen to plop the words Open to Buy down to make a catchy post header. In a buying plan, it is in short, the process of charging off committed orders against the buying limits of the planned purchases so you can determine what additional merchandise can be bought for a store. Which is basically knowing what you already bought, what money you have left over, and what you can now purchase.
