Inventory planning parameters
A record should be entered in this table if you wish to calculate a safety stock and a reorder quantity for a buffer. The calculation can be done for raw materials, intermediate materials and/or end items.
Fields
Field |
Type |
Description |
|---|---|---|
item |
non-empty string |
The item name for which safety stock and reorder quantity should be computed. |
location |
non-empty string |
The location name for which safety stock and reorder quantity should be computed. |
roq minimum quantity |
number |
Imposes a minimum constraint for the reorder quantity. |
roq maximum quantity |
number |
Imposes a maximum constraint for the reorder quantity. |
roq minimum period of cover |
number |
Imposes a constraint on the minimum period of demand (expressed in days) to be covered with the reorder quantity. |
roq maximum period of cover |
number |
Imposes a constraint on the maximum period of demand (expressed in days) to be covered with the reorder quantity. |
safety stock minimum period of cover |
number |
Imposes a constraint on the minimum period of demand (expressed in days) to be covered with the safety stock. |
safety stock maximum period of cover |
number |
Imposes a constraint on the maximum period of demand (expressed in days) to be covered with the safety stock. |
safety stock minimum quantity |
number |
Imposes a minimum constraint for the safety stock. |
safety stock maximum quantity |
number |
Imposes a maximum constraint for the safety stock. |
service level |
number |
This is the desired service level percentage for that buffer, E.g : 97.5 |
lead time deviation |
number |
The lead time standard deviation considered when calculating the safety stock, can be left empty. |
demand deviation |
number |
The demand standard deviation considered when calculating the safety stock, can be left empty. |
do not stock |
boolean |
Indicates whether this buffer should be stocked.
Possible values are :
“TRUE” : Default ROQ of 1 and safety stock of 0 will be used.
“FALSE” : ROQ and safety stock will be calculated.
|
segment_* |
number |
This values in these columns are not editible by the user. They represent the parameter values computed by the system based on the business rules. When both a user-specified and computed value are provided for a parameter, the user-specified value overrides the segment value. |
