Inventory policies
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.
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 |
duration |
This is the replenishment lead time considered when calculation the safety stock.
When left blank, the system will automatically compute the decoupled lead time using
the duration of the operations in the supply path.
|
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. When set to true, a replenishment
will only created when there is a demand.
Possible values are:
“TRUE”: Default reorder quantity of 1 and safety stock of 0 will be used.
“FALSE”: Reorder quantity and safety stock will be calculated.
|
push mode |
boolean |
Indicates whether excess inventory should be pushed downstream to other locations
in the network.
Possible values are:
“TRUE”: Push excess inventory downstream.
“FALSE”: Keep excess inventory at this item-location.
|
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. |
