CTM - Safety days Supply

Hello all,
I'm working with CTM and I found a problem that I can't solve. If I set the profile to consider for example 8 safety days supply  (I tested with all settings) the system do not consider the safety days of supply for the first 9 days. The system creates the supply with no difference between demand and supply and at the 10th day it start to create supply with 8 days difference from demand. Did anyone know what is happening? I tryed with fixed and time-dependent safety days of supply and I'm working with the SCM 5.0.
Thanks in advance,
Marcelo

Thanks a lot for your help.
This setting seems to be a very good suggestion. The early demand fulfillment specifies the time that the system have to build up safety stock, but I tested it and this setting seems that doesn't work for safety days of supply. Do you know if there is another setting like this for the days of supply?

  • Safety days supply not followed due to change in Means of Transport in SNP

    Hello All,
    I am facing a strange issue regarding the SNP heuristics and means of transport. We observed that the system was not respecting the safety days supply. For example if we had a receipt in bucket 'N' and there is a violation of safety days supply in bucket 'N-1'. When we un a heuristic ideally system should delete the receipt in bucket 'N' and create a new one in bucket 'N-1'.
    But we observed that the system is retaining the existing receipt in bucket 'N' and also creating a new one in bucket 'N-1'. This is making the available days supply to increase manyfolds and the whole plan looks inconsistent from Safety Days point of view.
    After analyzing the issue i observed that if we have existing receipts using a Means of Transport 'X'. Now if we run the heuristic using a Means of Transport 'Y' then the system doesnt touch the existing receipts. If I run teh heuristics using the existing Mean of Transport then it works absolutely fine.
    Kindly suggest.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    when you check all products flag it means the means of transport is available for all products and not product specific, to select the MOT for SNP you need to check the aggrgtd plng flag.
    Also safety stock has nothing to do with MOT, SNP heuristic plans based on checks the quota arrangement if its for multiple MOT it will distribute the PR based on the ratio in quota if both MOT are able to meet demand on time, otherwise it will violate quota till the time both MOT are not capable of meeting the demand on time.
    If no quota is defined it will check for which lane is able to meet on time n if their are multiple lanes which can fulfill demand on time then it will choose MOT with less cost.
    Have you got multiple MOT for a source destination combination to be considered for SNP heuristic?
    Just check your design again and explain the problem again as this is not the standard expected behavior.
    Thanks,

  • 9ASVTTY (Safety Days Supply) UoM in table '/sapapo/tspaplob'

    Hello All,
    We faced an issue whereby the safety days supply was being displayed in Base UoM of the product like 'EA'. After further exploring this issue and comparing with standard SAP Planning Areas we found that a value of '10' has to be maintained against 9ASVTTY for field UOM_PLAN in table /sapapo/tspaplob.
    After making this change the safety days supply is being displayed in DAYS again. Although the issue is resolved I still want to know what is the significance of maintaining this value '10' in the table. Also can we maintain a unit like 'D' or 'H'. After maintaining this value in the table I dont see any corresponding change in the Planning Area for 9ASVTTY, field 'UoM'.  
    An early reply is highly appreciated.
    Thank You.
    Abhi.

    Hi All,
    There is this function module called by the Planning Administration view, called CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_INPUT.  Below is a code extract pointing to where exactly does the system equate D to "10"
    IF sw_use_buffer EQ space
        OR language NE sy-langu.
          SELECT * FROM t006a UP TO 1 ROWS WHERE spras EQ language
                              AND   mseh3 EQ input.
            output = t006a-msehi.
          ENDSELECT.
        ELSE.
          t006a_s_tab-mseh3 = input.
          READ TABLE t006a_s_tab WITH KEY t006a_s_tab-mseh3 BINARY SEARCH.
          output = t006a_s_tab-msehi.
        ENDIF.
        PERFORM get_t006b USING    language mseh3
                          CHANGING output l_return_code.
    From this code extract, we see that the value mapping of UoM is actually in table T006A.  If you equate the UOM_PLAN field in the Planning Area field, with MSEHI of table T006A, the value at field MSEH3 or table T006A would reflect in the planning book.
    Hope this helps

  • Customizing of the days' supply in MD04/MD06

    I don't see any difference with the first receipt days' supply and 2nd receipt.  We need for the 1st days supply more binding information, like the PO or process order,
    for the second we need assigned purchase requistions or firm planned orders. Could you please check.
    *Please set the indicator for consumption based planning not on safety stock or reorder point.
    Can some one give me steps how to implement the above requirement . I have gone thru the configuartion but need further help .
    Regards,
    SHD

    Shahid,
    You need to get your users to clarify their requirements.
    I don't see any difference with the first receipt days' supply and 2nd receipt. We need for the 1st days supply more binding information, like the PO or process order,
    This requirement is not explicit enough.  Tell the users you need an explicit list of the items they wish to include in the calculation for first days supply.  They can select from the list found in configuration (these are the only options available):
    Production/Process orders
    POs, shpg notifications, sched. lines, dely scheds
    QM inspection lots
    Firmed purchase requisitions
    Firmed planned orders
    Assigned planned orders
    Receipt reservations
    Shipping notifications
    for the second we need assigned purchase requisitions or firm planned orders
    This is explicit enough, but not possible.  Assignment of a purchase req is not adequate to delineate.  Unfirmed (but assigned) PuReqs will not be considered.
    Please set the indicator for consumption based planning not on safety stock or reorder point.
    Receipt days supply is configured at the plant level.  It will be same whether you are using consumption based planning, or demand based planning.  It is possible to have the system calculate days supply "until stock falls to Safety stock level" or "until stock falls to zero"
    Once you have your lists of items that are to be included in 'first day' and "second day', go to OMIL.  For items to be considered only in 'first day', enter a 1.  For items to be considered only in 'second day', enter a 2.  For items to be considered in both, enter an 'X'.  
    If you wish for the system to ignore safety stock (calculate days supply until stock falls to zero), enter 1 in the safety stock field.

    With more than enough stock to cover all current and future requirements, why would the stock days' supply go negative? I do not understand the calculation from the online help, where negative values are not explained.
    Edited by: Sriram N A on Feb 23, 2011 11:33 AM

    I overlooked th fact that there was a separate "project stock" segment that was being planned, for which the requirement was past due.  Hence the days' supply was negative.
    The coverage for use of normal unrestricted stock would be 999 as per the data.

  • Targets days supply

    Hi Gurus,
    Please let me know on targets days supply in PP DS and the effect of it on planning. what are the necessary settings to be maintained for achieving the same ?
    Thanks,
    Prasanth

    Hi Prasanth,
    In APO the requirements is rolling that is if you have Forecasting then the forecast for a month it is
    disaggregated into days or weeks hence if you plan to have a safety stock planning done by APO this method
    of maintaining Target days helps to maintain the stocks at the location all the time so if you define 4 days
    as the Target days of supply then at all time Heuristics run or optimizer run will ensure that stocks are
    there to meet the requirement of next 4 days as is in your case. In case of shortfall system will generate
    a requirement on the Source plant based on the transportation lane.
    Settings are maintained in Product Master under Lot size tab (Quantity and date Determination).
    Please let me know if you need any further information on this
    Thanks,
    Harsh

    There are 3 types of days of supply..Please come back after going through it
    Days' supply
    The days' supply displays the number of days that a material will cover if only current plant stock is taken into account.
    By using the Days' supply including/excluding safety stock in Customizing, in the Safety stock field, you can define whether the system is to base the calculation for the number of days on the safety stock level or the physical stock level.
    If the number of days is based on the safety stock, which is set in the standard settings, the system calculates the number of days until the stock level falls below the safety stock level. If the number of days is based on the physical stock level, the system calculates the number of days until the stock level falls below 0.
    Materials with critical ranges of coverage are indicated by red traffic lights in the MRP list and the stock/requirements list. You can define how many days are considered to be critical.
    Note
    The days' supply is not calculated, if:
    Current plant stock is negative, or if
    Current plant stock cannot cover the next requirement
    Dependencies
    You set the indicator for including the safety stock in Customizing for MRP or for Consumption-Based Planning in the IMG activity Define receipt elements for days' supply calculation.
    Example
    Calculation of the range of coverage: Starting from the current plant stock, the requirements are deducted one after the other along the time axis. This is done until there is a shortage (requirement > stock). The range of coverage is then the number of workdays between todays date and the date of the requirement that causes the shortage minus one day. The value after the decimal point is the ratio between the opening stock on the day of the shortage and the requirement on the day of the shortage.
    Stock = 240 pcs
    1st day: Requirement for 90 pcs => Stock = 150 pcs
    2nd day: Requirement for 70 pcs => Stock = 80 pcs
    3rd day: Requirement for 100 pcs => Shortage
    Range of coverage = 3 workdays minus 1 + 80/100
    = 2 + 0,8
    = 2,8
    First receipt days' supply
    The receipt days' supply indicates how many days a material will last. The system takes current plant stock and specific, predefined receipts into account when calculating the receipt days' supply.
    You can define two receipt days' supplies.This enables you to instruct the system to take the less binding receipt elements into account for the first receipt days' supply, and to take only the binding receipt elements (such as production orders and shipping notifications) into account for the second days' supply.
    Additionally, in Customizing for MRP, you can use the safety stock indicator to define whether the number of days refers to the safety stock or the actual physical stock.
    If the number of days is based on the safety stock, which is set in the standard settings, the system calculates the number of days until the stock level falls below the safety stock level. If the number of days is based on the physical stock level, the system calculates the number of days until the stock level falls below 0.
    Material with critical ranges of coverage are indicated by red traffic lights in the MRP list and the stock/requirements list. You can define how many days are considered to be critical.
    Note
    The receipt days' supply is not calculated, if current plant stock is negative.
    The receipt days' supply is calculated for a negative plant stock, if the next requirement is in the past.
    Dependencies
    You can define which receipts the system includes in both receipt days' supply and set the indicator for safety stock in Customizing for MRP, or for Consumption-Based Planning, by choosing the activity Define Receipt Elements for Receipt Days' Supply.
    Example
    Calculation of the range of coverage: Starting from the current plant stock, the requirements are deducted one after the other along the time axis. This is done until there is a shortage (requirement > stock). The range of coverage is then the number of workdays between todays date and the date of the requirement that causes the shortage minus one day. The value after the decimal point is the ratio between the opening stock on the day of the shortage and the requirement on the day of the shortage.
    Stock = 240 pcs
    Purchase orders are included in the days' supply, but not purchase requisitions
    1st day: Purchase order for 50 pcs => Stock = 290 pcs
    Requirement for 90 pcs => Stock = 200 pcs
    2nd day: Purchase requisition for 80 pcs => Stock = 200 pcs (remains)
    Requirement for 120 pcs => Stock = 80 pcs
    3rd day: Requirement for 100 pcs => Shortage
    Range of coverage = 3 workdays minus 1 + 80/100
    = 2 + 0,8
    = 2,8
    2nd receipt days' supply
    You can use the second receipt days' supply to separate less binding and binding receipt elements.
    For example, you can specify that the less binding receipt elements are taken into consideration for the first receipt days' supply, and only the binding receipt elements, such as production orders and shipping notifications, are taken into consideration for the second receipt days' supply.
    Materials with critical ranges of coverage are indicated by red traffic lights in the MRP list and the stock/requirements list. You can define how many days are considered to be critical.
    Dependencies
    You define the receipts that are taken into consideration for receipt days' supply 1 and 2 on a plant-specific basis, in Customizing for MRP or for Consumption-Based Planning, under IMG activity Define Receipt Elements for Receipt Days' Supply.
    Example
    Calculation of the range of coverage: Starting from the current plant stock, the receipts are added one after the other on a daily basis along the time axis, and the requirements are deducted one after the other, until there is a shortage (requirement > stock). The range of coverage is then the number of workdays between todays date and the date of the requirement that causes the shortage minus one day. The value after the decimal point is the ratio between the opening stock on the day of the shortage and the requirement on the day of the shortage.
    Stock = 240 pcs
    Purchase orders are included in the days' supply, but not purchase requisitions
    1st day: Purchase order for 50 pcs => Stock = 290 pcs
    Requirement for 90 pcs => Stock = 200 pcs
    2nd day: Purchase requisition for 80 pcs => Stock = 200 pcs (remains)
    Requirement for 120 pcs => Stock = 80 pcs
    3rd day: Requirement for 100 pcs => Shortage
    Range of coverage = 3 workdays minus 1 + 80/100
    = 2 + 0,8
    = 2,8

  • Fixed Days Supply , Oracle E-Business Suite Planning

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    With regard to using fixed days supply on item attribute level, we are not yet sure what the effect is on the planning.
    We know that demand over a certain period of time (FDS) will be aggegrated to one orderline.
    However, if in week 10, demand has been aggegrated for let say quantity 10, and during that week (and thus in the weekly MRP RUN), additional demand of 2 in that same timeframe is needed.
    Will Oracle include that extra demand and make one orderline for 12?
    We currently think that FDS frames are frozen after one MRP Run. is this true, and can this be ignored?
    What I mean is:
    For item XB we have the following planned orders
    -5 need by date 10-03-2015
    -7 Need by date 10-06-2015
    -10 need by date 10-08-2015
    If we set FDS to 365 days, for item XB, Oracle will aggregate total demand of 22 in one orderline.
    But what happens if suddenly a new planned order enters O_MRP
    3 need by date 08-08-2015?
    Will the planning , unless we haven't released the orderline of 22, make a new orderline for 25 units for need by date 10-03? We currently think it generates a rush order.
    Many thanks in advance!

    The short answer is probably. 
    The long answer:
    - You have mentioned a certification and then referred to it as a "course".
    - To achieve certification you need to pass two exams: (Ref: Oracle EBS R12 Advanced Supply Chain Planning Certified Expert Consultant )
    - Associated training courses are recommended ... though not mandatory in this case ( See recommended training on exams from the above link).
    - It is almost certain that whatever training one undertakes that should increase knowledge ... and if job relevant it should help you get your job.
    - You will need to look at exam topics (or training course topics) and make a self assessment of how much you stand to gain; and how much it will gain it in future.
    ---- You should know more about yourself than anyone else, and if you are honest with yourself should be able to work out your own cost/risk/benefit.
    ------ Remember cost may not only be monetary ... it may be time you could have spent doing something else ... perhaps with your family.

  • Fixed Days Supply & Fixed Order Quantity

    Hi,
    in certain cases we use the Fixed Days Supply & Fixed Order Quantity attributes in the Item Master to influence our ASCP plan calculation (size of planned orders etc.)
    We need this because we do discrete production (semiconductor industry) and with the fixed order quantity we to ensure that the system plans with full Lots.
    However I am not sure what the impact of the Fixed Days Supply is, especially in combination with the Fixed Order Quantity.
    Unfortunatly the Manuals do not tell very much about this. Does anyone have experience with this and wants to share some knowledge? I would like to know what these parameters really do and maybe there are better ways for our setup...
    Thanks,
    David.

    Hi,
    thanks for the reply. I found the detailed explanation in user guide you mentioned.
    I am not sure that we made the setup in an optimum way.
    We use for example fixed days supply = 5 for many buy items, because we place weekly Purchase Orders for these items and want to have the planned orders combined instead of having a planned order for every day.
    And we use the fixed order quantity to prevent two things:
    1) The size of the planned order gets below a typicall Lot size and the calculated leadtime for this planned order is too short. We define item based resource usage rates so it will calculate the exact lead time for the small planned order, but in reality our production has to run the full Lot which takes more time of course.
    2) without the fixed order quantity the planned orders might become too big, which makes scheduling of them more difficult, because finding a free time-slot on the machines for a huge quantity must be more difficult than for a smaller planned order.
    But unfortunatly Oracle does not provide some business cases, especially for our semiconductor industry so it is more trial-and-error what we are doing...
    regards,
    David.

  • Use of Calendar in Days Supply Calculation in APO

    The Days Supply is R/3 is defined as - The range of coverage is then the number of workdays between todayu2019s date and the date of the requirement that causes the shortage minus one day
    The Days of Supply in APO defined as - The days' supply tells the planner how many calendar days the receipts and stocks will cover the current requirements for.
    In our case we have a factory defined in R/3 as 5 days working, so R/3 display Days Supply it displays only number of Working days till stock/receipt last while APO displays number of Calendar Days ( including non working days)
    Is there any way..i can make these 2 number same in R/3 and APO. Both System has same configuration for considering stock, receipt 7 requirement elements.
    Thanks in advance !!!

    Hi,
    Normally APO should consider the working days.
    could you check that the macro "Determine workdays" is properly executed; and that "Days' supply " is based on the workdays key figure.
    Please note that by default the relevant calendar is the shipping calendar; please ensure that it is maintained in the location master.
    If you want to based it on another calendar, you need to adapt the macro.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Days supply is not populating in the planning book

    Hi Experts,
    When I select multiple products in the planning book, the value is papulating as total but if I drilled down to individual product then days supply(Key figure) values are not populating in the planning book.
    Please let me know if any idea.
    Regards,
    Hrishi

    From what you mention it looks like you do not use the standard SNP Planning Book. Was the macro inactive so that you had to regenerate?
    When you move a macro from workbench to level change it should not require to be regerated.
    Please check if following macros are active (green) under level change in sequence
    Determine Workdays
    Layout Attributes
    Drill (Level)
    Else compare the macros and sequence in the standard SNP Planning Book with the Planning Book you are using.
    The Day's Supply (All: Day's Supply) and Determine workdays macros are essential for populating the day's supply keyfigure.
    Thanks,

  • Target Days Supply in SNP Heuristics and Deployment

    Dear Experts,
    Does the Target Days supply only define the minimum and not the maximum stock levels?
    Example: consider a Period P1
    The target dayu2019s supply is 20 days, and the Days Supply in Period P1 is more than 20 (suppose 35)
    The Total Demand in that week is not big enough to bring the Days supply < 20
    Question:
    Does the system still create a Distribution Reciept (Planned) in this case and keeps increasing the day's supply of dest location? Or does it create stock transfers only if Days Supply is threatening to fall below the Target Days Supply?
    In other words:
    Does Target Days Supply only come into picture when Days Supply < Target Days Supply, in which case the system adds the difference (Target Stock Level u2013 Current Stock Level) to total demand while creating stock transfers.
    When Days Supply is >> Target Days Supply, does the SNP Heuristic still create a Stock Transfer even though there is enough stock to cater to the current total demand and not fall below Target Stock?
    Hope you can help in understanding this concept.
    Regards,
    Rimjhim

    Thanks for your reply.
    Please correct if I have misunderstood:
    While calculating the net requirement during SNP Heuristic run, the system will apply Target Stock Level into consideration and will only create a Pur Req if the stock is falling below the Target stock.
    Thanks,

  • Can't Find the fixed days supply in the collected items.

    Dear All,
    after running the collection process , i can't find the fixed days supply item attribute in the collected data (from the table MSC_SYSTEM_ITEMS).
    Regards.
    Ahmad.

    Ensure that you have defined fixed_days_supply at the org-item level.
    If you have, then check if the collection is working properly by making some other change to an item (such as description change and change of the fixed lot multiplier).
    If those changes are not coming over, the problem may be with your Data collection. Can you run a full DC? Make sure that the snapshots have been refreshed properly.
    Hope this helps,

  • Dynamic Safety Stock wih Safety daysu2019 supply

    Hi
    In APO PP/DS, my compagny want to set up for several products,  two safety stock :
    1- Dynamic Safety Stock in order to prevent when actual usage exceeds forecasted demand
    2 - Safety day's to prevent when time it takes to receive a replenishement shipment exceeds the projected lead time (usual problem in our business)
    For this two cases we use
    1- MB
    2 -SZ
    So my question, how it's possible to mix this 2 safety stock methods? Is possible to create a custom method or custom heuristic in order to do that?
    Thanks for your help
    Youri

    Hi
    We have ever try without success other solutions as :
    SM and MM
    MB with Good Receipt Time in APO = ( Good Receipt in R/3 + Safety Days )
    The only solution seem AT/BT method but we can't make difference between safety stock and safety days during monitoring
    Thanks for your help
