The range of coverage profile

Hi Friends,
Need help for Dynamic Safety Stock
I'm new in MM and I want to know how to configure the range of coverage profile in SAP.
I need a SAP process to update the safety stock using the coverage profile
I need your help to know the fonctionnality of this profile in SAP and his utility for the business
Please help

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.

  • 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?

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Sureshbabu G.

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

  • 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 .
    Hope this will be useful

  • 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.

  • 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?
    Regards
    Sunil

  • 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.

  • Can I use an airport extreme to extend the range of my wireless modem

    Can I use an Airport Extreme to extend the range of my wireless modem?
    At one end of my house I have a dual band wireless ADSL modem which provides my internet connection and I want to extend (improve) the wireless coverage to the other of the hosue where my Apple TV (2nd gen) is located. I have being trying to extend my wireless network with an Airport Extreme but so far without success. I can get the Airport to join the wireless network, but I suspect that it is only acting as another client and not actually extending the wireless range. There is a setting in the Airport configuration to "extend and existing network", however when I choose this option the Airport no longer connects to my existing wireless network and I am beginning to suspect that this fuction only works with another Apple device (Airport Extreme or Express).
    Has anyone been able to extend the range of a third party wireless router / modem with an AirPort Extreme? If so, any advice that you can offer wold be appreciated.
    Regards
    Michael

    Thanks Tesserax,
    Your answer has confirmed my suspicions.
    Option 1 from your suggested solutions is not a goer because the modem and Airport Extreme are in different parts of the house making it impractical to run a cable between the two devices. 
    I did try option 2 and bought a Netgear range extender, which according to Netgear it would work with my D-Link modem - not.
    However I have managed to work around the problem (sort of) by using the Airport Extreme to create a wireless network between my iMac 27 and my Apple TV. The idea is that the iMac will act as a router between ethernet connected ADSL modem and the wirelessly connected Apple TV.
    The good news is that I am now able to play the content from my iTunes library on my Apple TV without interruptions due to a poor wireless connection . Although the connection from the Apple TV to the internet is not working I think this is most likely just a configuration issue and for me it is not really a show stopper.

  • How do i use airport extreme to extend the range of my imac

    I have an 2012 Imac and I would like to plug the Internet to my imac and use the the imac wireless and use my airport express to extend the range of the imac wireless signal.  I am having an awfully hard time figuring this out - can anyone pass along a link to a document or any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Apple's instructions for this are here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259
    Although two AirPort Extremes are pictured in the example, the setup for a Time Capsule and AirPort Express would be exactly the same.
    In general, a good starting location for the AirPort Express would be a point that is approximately half the distance from the Time Capsule and the area that needs more wireless coverage. You may need to experiment with the location of the Express a bit depending on the number of obstructions like walls and/or ceilings in the signal path

  • HT4259 Extending the range

    I have an old Airport Express (dome shaped) I want to use to extend the range of my Time Capsule. I'm using AirPort Utility v 6.3.2 which seems not to match the instructions on this page. Is there an updated set of instructions? I can't see the Express in my utillity.
    Incidentally under the options for posting this message I can't select OSX 10.9.1 which is my current system.

    Unfortunately, the older version of the AirPort Extreme that you have does not have a funtion or setting to "extend a wireless network", so it cannot be used to wirelessly extend the signal from the Time Capsule.....even if you use a compatible version of AirPort Utility with the older AirPort.
    It would be possible to have the older AirPort "extend" the network provided by the Time Capsule if you can establish a permanent Ethernet cable connection between the two devices.
    Once this has been done, you will need to use a 5.x version of AirPort Utility to set up and configure the older AirPort. That would mean using a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC.
    If you edit your profile, the option to have OS X (10.9.1) display on your future posts does appear.

  • I bought the Airport Extreme because I thought it would increase the range of the WiFi signal in my house. I have a DSL modem (also Wifi) and there are parts of the house that do not seem to have a strong Wifi signal.

    I bought the Airport Extreme because I thought it would increase the range of the WiFi signal in my house. I have a DSL modem (also Wifi) and there are parts of the house that do not seem to have a strong Wifi signal. The Airport Extreme does not seem to be increasing my Wifi signal strength? Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong? I am able to connect to it, etc. Just thought the strength would be better.

    The broadcast power of all wireless routers and devices is limited by law.....and all manufacturers run their routers full blast.....so the relative signal strength of wireless routers from one manufacturer to another will tend to be remarkably similar.....despite the fancy advertising claims.
    You may want to consider adding another AirPort Extreme to "extend" the signal strength in your home. If you decide to do this, the "extending" Extreme would normally need to be located at a point that is approximately half the distance from your "main" AirPort Extreme and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.

    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.
