SFFETY STOCK METHOD "MZ"

[Former Member]

Hello Everybody,

I would like to know what are the fields required to be populated in R/3 system (so that i can see the Safety Stock Method as "MZ" in SAP APO.

"For Example: by maintaining a value of safety stock as quantity in Safety Stock field on MRP2 view, system will automatically set SB as safety stock method in APO"

Similarly i would like to know for "MZ".

Best Regards,

Hi,

For Safety stock functions, following standard methods are available in APO:

Static Method : Parameters are defined in the location product master

1. SB - Safety stock from location product master

2. SZ - Safety days's supply from location product master

3. SM - Max. of SafeStk and safety days' supply from loc. prod. master

These can be transferred from settings in MRP views in material masters in SAP R/3- ERP to APO through CIF.

Dynamic Method:

Parameters are defined on a time-dependent basis; meaning that they are defined individually for each bucket in the planning buckets profile.

1. MB - Safety stock (time-dependent maintenance)

2. MZ - Safety days' supply (time-dependent maintenance)

3. MM - Max. of SafeStk and safety days' supply (time-depend. maint.)

MZ - Safety days' supply (time-dependent maintenance):

The safety stock is calculated identically to the SZ method. However, the safety days' supply used is not taken from the location product master data, but rather from a specified key figure on a bucket-dependent basis. Thus, the user is able to manually maintain the safety days' supply for exact buckets.

I hope this helps to clarify.

Please confirm .

Does that mean that inorder to maintain "MZ" as a Safety Stock method in APO we have nothing to be maintained in "R/3" ....l

By the above note what i mean is that in order to maintain Static Safety Stock Method "we do maintain some fields in "R/3" system. "I know this"...what i dont know is "are there any fields to be maintained in R/3 in order to maintain "MZ as a Safety stock method in APO system".

From your reply i infer that there are no fields to be maintained in R/3 in order to main tain "MZ" in APO.

All the settings are to be done in APO. Right ?

Please Confirm.

Hi,

You can define the parameters that are period-based only in interactive Supply Network Planning (SNP).

That means that we can not CIF this from SAP ERP - R/3.

I hope this clarifies.

Please confirm.
