Hi All.Setting of coverage profile

I want to configure a coverage profile covering 6months for a material.I have created a new coverage profile in spro with the following settings.
in Determine Range of coverage:-
Period Indicator:M(months)
in Determine average requirements:-
Number of periods:6
Type of period Length:3
Days per period:20
in Range of coverage in the first period
Min:99     Tgt:99     Max.99                         No.of periods:5
in Range of coveragein the second period
Min:20     Tgt:20    Max:20                          No.of periods:1
in Range of coverage in rest of Horizon
Min;0     Tgt:0      Max:0
Now I would like to know whether this will work of providing 6 months coverage for materials.Could anyone please help me.

Dear,
Please see the wiki page with stpes and examples which will give a correct direaction

  • How do I set up two profiles on my computer but still utilize all programs and files?

    How do I set up two profiles on my computer but still utilize all programs and files?  I want to set up two profiles so my wife and I can utilize two iTunes accounts and different internet settings, but when I set up an administrator profile for her and log in. I don't see all of the stuff that is on the administrator profile (mine) that was created first

    A second user account is separate; with separate preferences and data,  but can share the same apps as long as they're in the top-level Applications folder, not an Applications folder inside another user's home folder.
    Sharing files is a bit different; you can put them in the special Shared user folder, or grant permission to specific files/folders in one account to a different user.

  • Coverage profile and fx lot size.

    MD03 generated purchase requisition on 04.11.2011 for 72 pcs.
    As you can see the available quantity of material on 04.04.11 will be 84,701 - 8,445 = 76,256. That is more than Minimum stock( 73,476)
    Can you suggest why system creates purchase requisitions on 04.11.2011 but not on 05.11.2011
    I can only assume that it's a one more feature of MRP. It calculates dates and quantitys to be procured as lot size EX was set in material master record and doesn't take into account increasing of stock due to FX lot size.
    P.S. When I clear coverage profile in material master , SAP generates pur.requisitions correctly.

    OK, now it is more clear.
    First you should know that only target is doing a real impact. Min and Max are just for display.
    Since you have period as month, looking at it on daily resolution is not relevant, you should look at months. You can also see on your daily display that target stock level will only change at month turn.
    Hope that it makes it now easier for you to understand the system's calculation.

  • Coverage profile and Forecast profile together

    Dear all,
    Can we use coverage profile and forecast profile together.What are the requirements for the same.
    We are using coverage profile with following details
    No. of periods=20
    Type of period per length=1
    Range of coverage in first period= 10
    The forecast profile is set for
    Historical periods=12
    Initialisation period=2(Automatic,X)
    Periods /season=12
    Forecast periods=12
    with different weighting groups.
    But whenever forecasting is executed with some historical data for the 3 profiles it is giving same forecast values for all 3 profiles with different weighting groups.
    Also the MRP type used here is a copy of the PD MRP type and not VV or VS.
    Where can the problem lie?
    Regards

  • Coverage profile and Stime period profile in MRP

    Can anyone explain what is the importance of coverage profile and safety time period profile in MRP2 view and what is their implication in MRP and SOP ?

    Hi,
    Coverage profile is used in Material Requirements Planning for calculation of dynamic safety stock. This dynamic safety stock is calculated by using formula: Average daily req*range of coverage.
    Average daily req is calculated by considering requirements in specific periods and no of days for the total period length.
    You can find all the setting in
    MRP--> Planning-> MRP Calculation---->Define range of coverage profile.
    e.g.
    You have maintained in coverage profile:
    Period indicator: W(week)
    Number of periods to be considered for ADR: 2
    Period length: Standard days (5 days)
    Range of coverage: 5 days
    Req for 1st week: 1000
    Req for 2nd week: 1000
    then Ave daily req.= (1000+1000)/(5 period length*2 no. of periods)=200
    then Dynamic safety stock= 200 (ADR)*  5(range of coverage)=1000
    Hope you got it.

  • Internet Shortcuts saved on Desktop open new instance of Firefox 3.6 using clean profile--how can I make it open all shortcuts using current profile?

    I rely heavily on Firefox's profiling ability to assist me in my web design projects. Lately, using Firefox 3.6, I have run into some problems with how it opens Internet Shortcuts that are saved locally (i.e.- shortcuts that reside on my Desktop). When I double-click on one of these shortcuts, a new instance of Firefox 3.6 is loaded with the saved website from the shortcut, but it's also initialized a fresh profile (i.e.- my bookmarks are gone, no add-ons, etc.--it's as if it uses some sort of "hidden" clean slate to load the shortcuts).
    Is there any way to force Firefox to load all shortcuts into whatever profile I'm currently using at that given moment? I think the reason this has happened to begin with is because of the fact that I did some stuff to Internet Explorer awhile back that caused some problems with the Internet Shortcut associations and it all led to this eventuality.
    I'm running Windows XP Pro and have the following profiles with my Firefox versions:
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 3.6\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p Firefox3.6
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox N\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p FirefoxN
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 3\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p Firefox3
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 2\firefox.exe" --no-remote -p Firefox2
    When I go into the "Folder Options / File Types" and double-click on "Internet Shortcut", I have the following within the "Advanced" settings (for the "open" action):
    Action: open
    Application used to perform action: rundll32.exe shdocvw.dll,OpenURL %l
    "Use DDE" is checked...
    "DDE Message" is blank...
    "Application" is "shdocvw"...
    "DDE Application Not Running" is blank...
    "Topic" is "System"
    Again, I think the root problem here is to do with the profiles and how they're handled when being opened with Firefox but I can't discern how to apply a fix with all this as I've obviously goobered this up a bit. I would really appreciate some professional knowledge on this and would prefer to avoid any reinstalls of anything if possible.

    To save your sanity with this issue, my advice is to find a method other than desktop shortcuts to open those URL's.
    1. Desktop shortcuts are going to open the Default Browser.
    a. With multiple versions of Firefox installed that would be the last version that was installed when you have Firefox set as the Default Browser in Windows..
    b. The Default Browser is going to use the Profile that shows a Default=1 in the profiles.ini file.
    c. The Default Browser with the Default Profile isn't going to open if you have any other versions of Firefox already running, and the -no-remote command line parameter doesn't work in this situation.
    2. The use of multiple Profiles and multiple versions isn't officially supported by Mozilla, and all the Bug reports that I have ever read about Requests for Enhancement have been WONTFIX'd by the developers. Basically we have to work with the limitations in Firefox and maybe improvise work arounds by ourselves. I've even seen a few threats about removing Profiles altogether in RFE Bug reports about Profiles.
    I have had so many problems over the years with this Default Browser / Default Profile thing over the years that personally I find it easier to just set Opera as the Default Browser in Windows rather than have a Profile get b0rked because some other program I am using decides it wants to open the Default Browser unexpectedly. I don't use Opera for much, but it is a lot better than IE for purposes of being the Default Browser, considering the quirks I have seen with Firefox and multiple Profiles.
    I have written a number of postings over at the MozillaZine Builds forum over the years about installing multiple versions of Firefox and using multiple Profiles. There's a lot of tips and comments provided by other multiple Profile users in one of those threads. Why don't you read those threads and see if it gives you some ideas or solutions I haven't thought of.

  • Max number of days in Target Range of Coverage Profile

    I created a range of coverage profile to use for dynamic safety stock... I set my period indicator to 'M' for months... however it appears that the system calculates my average daily requirement and then multiplies that by my target, min, and max.  the field for target, min, max is a two character field, so does this mean that i can not exceed a target of 99 days of supply?

    My period indicator is set to "M", and when the system calculates my average daily usage it does base the calculation on monthly periods.  However when MRP is executed it calculates my target safety stock level by multiplying the avg. daily requirement and the target range of coverage (avg.daily req. X target DOS).  What this means is if i want to keep 3 months of safety stock, in the profile i have to put '90' in as my target range of coverage, rather than '3'.
    Therefore, because the field is only 2 characters you can't have more than 99 days of supply... correct?

    Dear Prasad,
    Please change the User profile name as per your requirement.- meaningful name.
    You have to create two statuses.
    The first status is RRCL.
    The Second status Is QFIN.
    RRCL and QFIN - u can name them as u like.
    There are two statuses.
    is it clear?
    First you have to create two statuses in the user profile.
    You can name them as you like.
    For example RRND --> Result recording not done (You can name the first status as RRND)
    Second status UDCD --> Usage Decision Can be Done ( You can name the second status as UDCD.
    It is your wish.
    For each status you have to assign the business transactions .
    Hope this is clear.
    Best of luck.

  • Coverage profile

    Hi Friends,
    I have a understanding issue in coverage profile.
    I will explain with an example. suppose i have to manufacture 300 components in a month. so average per day is 10 and coverage profile is 10 days. so the system will maintain a stock of 100 components at all times. is this correct?
    what if i have 50 components in stock, will the system generate requirements for 250 components only?
    please guide me.
    Thanks

  • Long term planning  without coverage profile

    Hi,
    We want to run LTP without consider material coverage profile. We have PIR and the LTP has to create planned orders with the same quantity as PIRs.
    All materials have a coverage profile (dynamic safety stock), but in LTP this coverage stock produces more quantity than in PIR, how can we solve that?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jen

    As the Coverage Profile is maintained the system is trying to maintain a Minimum Safety stock avaialble from the dynamic safety stock calculation.
    That is the reason for your Procurement quantites more than the PIR's.

  • Range of Coverage Profile

    Hi All,
    We are using the Coverage profile range as 1 day in our project. But our client requested us to change the profile range to 1/2 day in order to to support the tighter inventory flow into the plant.
    Kindly suggest whether it is possible to do it in the system.

    No,
    IT is miminum 1 day and maximum 99 days.

  • Coverage Profile in MRP

    Hi All,
    Please can anyone explain what is Coverage Profile in MRP and how it can be used for the MRP  in simple words.
    Thanks
    Balaji

    Hi,
         The Range of Coverage profile is define specific to a plant in IMG and then assigned to materials in master data MRP 2 view. To define the profile, use menu path
    IMG->PP->MRP->MRP Calculation->Define Range of Coverage Profile. In the definition, there are two sections of data that you need to fill in.
    1. Parameters for calculation of average daily requirements and Period indicator.
    2. Minimum, Target, and Maximum stock calculation parameters.
    PARAMETERS FOR AVERAGE DAILY REQUIREMENTS CALCULATION:
    Choose the period indicator as Month, Period, or Week.
    Specify the number of periods. This is used by system to calculate the average daily requirements.
    Select the "Type of Period Length", ie. as workdays or calendar days or standard days (days per period). If the type of period length is selected as standard days, they you have to specify the "days per period". Using these three parameters, the system calculates average daily requirements using the formula:
    average daily requirements = Sum of requirements in the number of periods / number of days in the number of periods.
    PARAMETERS FOR TARGET STOCK AS DAY'S OF SUPPLY
    Then you have to specify how many workdays of supply you want to maintain as target stock, in your case 15 workdays. If you wanted to maintain a constant 15 days of supply as inventory through out the planning horizon, just specify the target stock as 15 days and leave rest of the fields as blank, i.e min, max, and number of periods. The number of periods in this section simply maintains the target stock for that many periods from the date of MRP run. This way you can tell the system to maintain different target stock levels for three different period intervals. For example, if you wanted to maintain 15 days stock for first 3 periods, then specify the target stock as 15 days and number of periods corresponding to it as 3. The system then will maintain 15 days supply as inventory for first 3 periods from the date of MRP run and subsequent months zero inventory will be maintained. This will allow you to maintain your 15 days supply constantly for 3 periods

  • Configure Coverage Profile and other

    I have question regarding coverage profile configuration.
    - To configure coverage profile for safety stock, can I put it in decimal e.g. 1.5 days to cover safety stock level as it would impact the rest of production planning process?

    Does anyone know whether it is possible to restrict the types of demand used in the coverage profile calculation?   I am considering using a "demand" type that will prompt MPS to plan including this demand quantity.  However, I do not want this demand element to be included in the coverage profile calculation. Normal config. allows for the choice of periods but is including all demand including the one I do not want. If anyone knows of a way to restrict this I would be grateful for the guidance.
    Regards,
    Alan.

    The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now? Or should we? 5 macbooks, 2 ipads, 4 iphones, 2 itouch, 2 imacs.   How does one decide what to sync, share and what not to? Green Jeans.

    You need to start by understanding the distinction between iTunes and iCloud - Apple confuse the issue by referring to 'iTunes Match' as part of iCloud. It isn't.
    You don't have to have the same login (Apple ID) for iTunes and iCloud; many people don't and there's no problem about it.
    Your iCloud ID gets you email, calendars, contacts, iWork documents and PhotoStream syncing between devices.
    Your iTunes ID gets you the iTunes Store, the App Store for iOS, the Mac App Store for OSX,, 'iTunes in the Cloud' (downloading of purchased items to any logged-in device) and 'iTunes Match' (uploading of songs not purchased in the iTunes Store).
    Your family members can easily each get their own iCloud account to keep email etc. separate - in each case they will need a different non-Apple email address (a free one from Yahoo etc. would do) to set up the ID. If they are sharing a Mac they need to be using a separate user account.
    They can have their own iCloud accounts and still all sign into the same iTunes account: or they can open their own iTunes accounts using their new iCloud Apple IDs.
    BUT they cannot transfer items purchased under the present iTunes ID to different iTunes IDs.
