replenishment upto max. stock level during SNP heuristics run.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

As per the requirement from client, we need to configure the setting of replenishment upto max. stock level during SNP heuristics run.

I am using below settings in R/3 for achieving the expected results.

(R/3 ) MRP1 u2013

Lot size HB Replenish to maximum stock level

Maximum stock level 20,000

(APO) Targ.Stk Lvl Methd 5 u2013 in APO u2013 product master - lot size tab.

Still, after heuristics run, the requisitions are getting created equals to forecast value. It should get generated as max. stock level maintained.

Could anyone share their experience regarding this? Am I missing some additional setting?

Inputs are highly appreciated!

Dear Jayprakash ,

If the requirement is that you have to replenish upto a certain stock level then instead of maintaining the Max Stock level you can simply maintain

SB : Safety stock from product master

and in the Safety stock field maintain the quantity as desired ( in this case 20000 ) . This probably will solve the problem in your case . You may not require to maintain Max stock level .

Target stock level in heuristics also works fine with the following settings

make sure you maintain

Target stock level method as =5

In Maximum Stock level = maintain the quantity desired ( 20000 in your case say )

do not maintain any safety stock method keep it blank .

then location heuristics generates PR according to the the maximum stock level.

If still it is not working plz let me know what other settings you are maintaining probably we will find a way out .

Hope it helps .

Thanks
