Safety stock and safety period

Can anybody help me in understanding the effect of safety period in MRP..
CAn anybody give me an explanation with numbers so that i could test and understand..
Please help me out..

Dear
There are plenty of earlier posting on Safety stock and safety periods .
Safety Stock : This is one kind of Un-restricted stock which will be used to full fill the un-expected damand for any material apart from the normal stock .Safety Stock calcuation depends on requireiment .It can be pre-defined ( manual safety stock -MRP3 view-Safety Stock ) or Automatic Safety Stock based on the MRP Type set up in OMDQ.If you want automatic safety stock , then it will calcuated based on Forecasting view parametrs , forcast model , MAD, BASIC value calcualted wheil excuting Forecasting collectively or individually .
Safety Stock Calcualtion happend based on following CONDITION :
1.MRP type should be Forecast Base MRP -VV,VB,VS,V1,V2.Here MRP type calculates the Automatic Safety stock based on the Forcasting View Maintained in MM02 with proper Consumption History .( 261,501 etc update control in MMR through OMJJ set up --Please check MMR Forcasting View -Cosnumption Histry at least 6 months are there or not ?)
2.In MRP Type -SPRO-MRP-Check MRP Type -Select any one of the MRP Type like VV , you will find that Calcualtion of Reo-Order Point and Safety Stock Check Box Ticked .Based this set up and above Forcasting view , safety Stock will be calcualted with certain formaul .Here in the Material Master MRP3 view u need to maintain Service Level Percentage of that Material whcih will be consideredr as Service level factor to calcvualte the Safety Stock automatically based on the MAD and Basic Values calcualtion in Forcating View Individually (MM02) or collectively in MP38 .
Hope this above facts will help you to understand the calcualtrion of Safety Stock .
Formula : Safety Stock = R x Sq.rt. W x MAD
Safety Stock = R x W x MAD
Refer our earlier posting on the similar issues :

safety stock and min safety stock
Hope it clarifies

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

Report on current stock and safety stock

Hi,
I want to have the report on current stock and safety stock.
In MC.9 it gives wrong safety stock. When I go to cross check the safety stock in material master & in MC.9 I see differences.
Thanks,
Kiran

You can user tcode MC.9 or MC.5 to know valuated stock available at given plant. Stock lying in Returns (MB52) will not be a part of this report as it non-valuated stock.
The stock in the accounting view of the material master considers stock at plant level including stock in Transit (Intra & Inter plant stock trasnfers) & special stock like stock issued to vendor , consigment stock etc which is valuated at plant level.
whereas and stock in the plant stock view of the material master does not consider such special stocks hence there will always difference in both veiws.
For Physical stock as on particular date you can consider MB5B report with radio button "Storage location/Batch Stock" wherein you will get Quantity issued & Qunatity received in those SLOC along with Opening stock & Closing stock for the specified period.
use tcode
MBLB to know stock at vendor.
MB54 - Consignment Stock.

Sweth, you are asking for consulting, and in my opinion it is way beyond what can or should be reasonable to achieve in such a forum. You are asking complex questions, that most probable have more than one possible answer.
I suggest that you get on-site help from a knowledgeable and experienced consultant. These are crucial business issues, and should be dealt seriously.

Safety stocks and STO's

Hi everyone,
I am new to APO but I am writing a functional spec. The safety stocks and STO's obtained after running SNP optimizer must be sent to third party system. I have to do the field mapping. Can somebody tell which table and technical name I should use. I know we can use /sapapo/rrp3 but I am not sure. Can somebody help...

Safety stock and min safety stock

Dear all,
CAn anybody explain me the functional difference between safety stock and min safety stock?
And what is the meanng of safety time?
Karthick

Hi,
Safety Stock:
The quantity of stock to satisfy high requirements. The purpose of the safety stock is to prevent material shortage.
Safety stock as the name suggest is the stock level till which the dead stock or stock out situation will not arise (probable figure based on past data maintained in master).
As such this figure is not stock, it is cut-off figure maintained in master which is used for Planning and once the stock level dips below this value, you can configure system to generate PR, orders automatically. It has its relevance in MRP and CBP.
Safety stock is not used in production.
Minimum Safety Stock
    The quantity that defines the lower limit for safety stock. This value cannot be exceeded.
    The safety is checked to see if it is greater or equal to this lower limit.
    The lower limit is checked if you use an availability indicator which shows, according to customizing settings, if the safety stock is to be calculated again in a forecast. If the safety stock is lower than this level in forecasting, the safety stock is automatically increased to the value of the lower level.
The safety stock must always be greater or equal to this lower level (minimum safety stock)
Hope this will help help you.

Pavan

In Material Master Screen,functionally what is Safety time and safety time

In Material Master Screen,functionally what is Safety time and safety time indicator in the MRP Screen.Pls explain its functionality

Hi,
The safety time / actual range of coverage ensures that the planned warehouse stock covers the requirements of a defined number of days. It therefore serves as a time float and thus works alongside the safety stock, which acts as quantity float.
The system simulates bringing the requirements forward by the specified number of days and the planning for the receipts, created for these requirements in the planning run, is also brought forward by this number of days.
Prerequisites
·   You have set the Safety Time indicator in the material master record (MRP 2 View) to define whether the safety time is only to apply to independent requirements or to all requirements.
·    In the material master record (MRP 2 View), in the Safety Time/Actual Range of Coverage field, you have entered the number of workdays by which the requirements are to be brought forward.
·    If, in addition to this actual range of coverage, you also want to define a different number of workdays in certain periods or a safety time less than one day then, in Customizing for MRP in the activity Define Period Profile for Safety Time/Actual Range of Coverage you can define a period profile and assign it to the material in the material master record.

Safety Stock & Min Safety Stock

Dear SAP experts,
Please explain the difference between Safety Stock and Min Safety Stock.
What is the implication on the system if these two fields are maintained?
Thanks...

Hi
By maintaining safety stock in MRP run systems doesn't consider this qty for calculation but for total planned order to match re-order point it is considered.
Min safety stock is totally taken out from stock for MRP.

Dynamic Safety Stock and Calculate based on past consumption

Hello experts,
I have set up my coverage profile in configuration for dynamic safety stock. However, the value is going off of the current net requirements in the system. How do I set it up so that the target stock level (DSS) is determined by 30 days of our past consumption and so many days of near future requirements?
I assume I need to set up the MRP 3 tab in a specific way. These materials that will be using dynamic safety stock are not forecasted, therefore, the material master had PD as MRP type (not VM or VV as discussed for setting DSS with forecasted materials), lot size of DY, and the coverage profile.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi,
Hi the configuration should be like this..
First Create range of actual coverage profile SPRO and enter the following data.
Period Indicator - M
Number of Periods - 2
Type of Period length - Working days
Number of days per period - 30
Range of coverage in the first period - target - 30
Then assign this profile to the material in MRP3 screen in the field range of coverage profile field.

MRP with reorder point and safety stock and planning calender issue

Hi,
We are using currently MRP type PD and using Scheduling agreements and after the demand management changes when ran MRP the delivery quantities are fluctating in higher range and vendor complains about it so to avoid this we are constantly changing GR Processing days in material master? how can we avoid the drastic changes on the order quantites on scheduling agreements with out changing GR processing days.
For example : we constantly manufacter 480 vehciles per week and some time because of holidays it will be 320 or 560 per week then the forward scheduling agreement quantites instead of 480 parts week(twice a week delivery) goes up and down and vendor needs a at least a range for his prodcution?
I was thinking to use Reorder point but when i changed the MRP type VB then i cannot see forward scheduling agreements at MD04? does MRP type VB or V1 will allow forward scheduling also like 120 days ahead of planning?
Appreciates everyone time and help.
Thanks and Regards,
Siva

you can use MRP time fence to restrict the changes in planning data for specified horizon. For example If MRP time fence = 30 days, no changes in planning data will be allowed for coming 3o days unless you manually intervene.if any new requirements came in this period , they will be planned automatically at the end of this period only.

CIF Exit for updating APO field SAFETY STOCK METHOD from R/3.

Hi All,
I have a requirement for updating filed "Safety stock Method " in APO from R/3.
We can do it through transactions CFM1 and then CFM2 in R/3.
This happens when we make changes in MM02 in R/3,
for fields,
In ECC, Goto MRP2 view in material master
Safety stock (EISBE)
Safety time/act cov. (SHZET)
STime period profile (SHPRO)
Currently, we are using a exit : Exit_saplcmat_001,
but it only gets triggered when we make changes in safety stock and safety time.
where as if we make changes only in STime period profile, and don't make any change in safety stock and safety time,
in this case the exit is not triggered.
Now, we are looking for an exit, which will get triggered even when there is no change in safety stock and safety time,
where as there is change in STime period profile.
Please suggest what can be used.
Thanks & Regards,
Rahul A

Hi,
You may need to include the field in some structure also.
eg. for sales order interface we add z fields to structure /SAPAPO/KOMGO

Safety stock caluculation

Hi
The issue is even though I have suffiecient stock still PRs are generating.I want to know why this PRs are generating.
I suspect this is because of safety stock.I have maintained Safety Days' Supply 22,Safety Stock Method SM (Max.of Safety Stock and Safety Days'Sup.from Loc.Prod.Master).
Please let me know how this safety stock caluculation works.
R

R,
Rather than explain, let me just say that if it is your goal to have PRs never exceed requirements, then you should not maintain anything in Safety stock at all. That is the whole purpose of Safety stock, to generate extra proposals to meet a particular business requirement.
