Safty stock level

[Former Member]

HI Gurus ,

I was just wondering if I I could get any assistance from you for following ,

I have the following scenario that i have a question for.

Safety stock is set at 140 units

Actual stock is at 150 units

An order was placed for 20 units. As the stock would fall below 140, the

order is not able to be picked (10 would u2013 but not the last 10)

MD03 is run and a purchase requisition is flagged for 600 units. The

requisition is confirmed to a PO.

Why then, can i not deliver the order that will take the stock below the

safety stock level? Even though there is an order taking the stock above

the safety stock level?

Many thanks in advance!!

hi Amod,

In the std sap system, the safety stock is provided so as to maintain a level of the stock in the wareshouse.....As we know the reoder point is calculated and is set as per the calulation in which safety stock also plays a big rule...

Please check whether the reorder point defined in the system is proper, does the litlle decrease in the safety stock affects the reorder point.....the procurement is only triggered when the stock falls below the reorder point....

I think you shd check the reorder point first.......

Hope its helps....

Hi Amod,

You need to review your Availability Control Check settings in the IMG - transaction OVZ9. It sounds like you are not including safety stock in your available stock.

The standard checking rule for SD delivery in SAP is B.

You will be able to pick beyond the delivery date of the PO as the safety stock is whats required
