How does Maestro handle negative values during the returns adjustment process?

During the returns adjustment process in Maestro, negative values are recognized as problematic, particularly in the context of net demand calculations. When negative net demand occurs, it typically signals an inconsistency or error in the underlying data, as net demand is expected to reflect a realistic level of product need. Maestro's response to this situation is to issue an error message, prompting the user to investigate and rectify the issue. This action helps ensure data integrity and that the analytical processes remain accurate.

In contrast, other options do not correctly represent how Maestro processes negative values. Generating automatic reports or ignoring negative figures does not address the data inconsistency, while recognizing them as positive values could lead to further inaccuracies in data analysis and forecasting.
