Range of Coverage with less than a day

104 Views

Hi PP Gurus

Kindly suggest if anyone of you had this issue and how it is handled? Is there any OSS related to this.

The coverage profile field in the MRP-2 view of Material Master is based on Min, Target and Max coverages defined in days.

This is leading business to maintain more inventory than needed which does not serve any purpose by using the dynamic safety stock.

What business needs is the Min, Target and Max coverages are all to be defined in terms of less than a day. So that inventories are maintained at the optimal level.

SAP has come up with safety time period profile with option of safety time less than a day. The way it works is based on time not by quantity. It simply moves the planning of the material by the amount

of time specified.

Other than this do we have any OSS which can fix this issue.

To use the repetetive mfg planning table and to see the target stock, coverage profiles need to be defined for all materials. This target stock is needed for business to make a decision on how much quantity to run the production for each SKU.

Can anyone suggest how can we proceed on this.

I hope I am clear in presenting my issue.

Thanks

Sunil
