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.

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?

Hello,
The range of coverage indicates how many days the safety stock can last and it is also needed to calculate the dynamic safety stock.
Using the range of coverage profile, you can determine a safety stock level based on current requirements. This safety stock level is calculated using the average daily requirements quantity. Range of coverage profile is in the material master -MRP 2 view.
In this IMG activity, you specify the range of coverage profile for calculating the dynamic safety stock.

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
Manisha

Dear
Coverage Profile and Forecast profile are two different subject !
If it is range of coverage profile , then The range of coverage profile contains the parameters for calculating the dynamic safety stock. This is a statistical calculation on the basis of average daily requirements.With the dynamic safety stock, you can determine a safety stock based on requirements and range of coverage. The dynamic safety stock adapts automatically to the changed requirements and is fully available for planning purposes. You can limit the quantities used in the calculation of the dynamic safety stock by defining maximum and minimum ranges of coverage. You can also limit the period of time by defining different time periods in which the range of coverage is valid.
I hope you are asking about saferty caverage profile,,here basicalli we are setting the system to see how the safety stock is to be covered and calculated.See the help link below and come back if required

One more query : Also the MRP type used here is a copy of the PD MRP type and not VV or VS.
I think you should use Forecast Base MRP type like VV rather PD.PD does not carry out any Forcasting Functionality .Please check wether you replicate PD from VV , then it is possible to execute Forecast specially Total Consumption set up in MRP type .

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?
Thank you very much.

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.

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.

Range of Coverage with less than a day

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

Thank you Mario,
I have already tested with safety time period profile; but the way it works is it moves the ordering dates ahead by the amount of time we define in safety time and safety time % fields in the period profile.
Also with this set up when we come to planning table(MF50) we cannot see the target stock. For these materials the system calculates the actual range of coverage but not target stock.
In our business scenario; we need target stock value in deciding on the production quantity.
Regarding MRP resolution - did you mean we can run MRP only once in a day?

Sunil

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 in Network of Interdependent DCs

Hello Experts,
I would like to have your advice in this subject.
I have MTS Scenario , 1 Plant and 2 DCs to simplify the example.
Plant A only transfers stock to DC1.
DC1 sells to customers but also transfers stock to DC2 which has also customers and sales.
In each DC Planned Independent Requirements are periodically created with average data about each DCs customers Demand.
10 Day's Coverage Profile is used in each DC.
The problem I have is that stock for coverage days in DC2 translates in additional demand to DC1 (PurReq or STO requirements). This additional demand is again increased by coverage days in DC1 which leads to overstocking.
At first I thought that using BADI to deactivate requirements from STOs and PurReqs in DC1 would solve my problem but the effect is worse because Plant A would be "blind" to demand from DC2.
I think that additionaly to the change above mentioned I should create PIR in DC1 with the demand in DC1 + demand in DC2. And then in DC2 also create PIR but just with demand from DC2.
I really would like to have your opinions/suggestions about how would you do this.
Thanks in advance,
Sebastián Ligueros

Hi
I have worked on the same scenario.
My Suggestions: Maintain the MRP type V1 in DC1, in MRP type V1 make sure the control parameters Include ext. reqmts is 2. Assign the DC2 to DC1 using special procurement key 40, in special procurement key maintain the special procurement plant as DC1. Maintain the same MRP controller for DC1 and DC2.
Once you through with the above settings RUn the MRP for DC1, it will automatically plan the requirement for DC2 and it will give you the combine PR.
Try this and revert back
Thanks

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
Vivek

solved the issue myself.

Get Safety Stock... Coverage Profile

Great Gurus
How we can calculate the safety stock at concerned. we have maintained , Coverage profiles. Dynamic Safety Stock. as i understand. may be this can be get . ( assuming coverage profiles is 30 days ). Monthly sales forcast or stock requirment / 30. ???
Just confused. how to get this safety stock.
Regards\Adnan

Great Gurus
yes this is right.
I am a SD consultant. this time i need to just check the safety stock quanity. in my view. in this scenarious. From Coverage Profile ( Dynamic Safty Stock )
ADR = Monthly sales forcast or stock requirment \ 30
coverage profie = 11 days
Safety Stock = ADR * Coverae profile
Please help me above is right or something else is just for calculation of safety stock . ( Once agian we are doing this throgh Coverage Profile ).
Regards\Adnan

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.
