Definition

If there is excess inventory, surplus stock is retained at its place of origin or is distributed according to push logic.

Procedure

You have three options:

  • If you leave the field blank, the system uses pull distribution; the demand of the current day is met through deployment, but excess stock is not distributed.
  • If you select P, the system uses pull/push distribution; excess stock is distributed to meet the demand existing within the demand horizon according to the forecast in the DCs. Distribution begins on the first day for which requirements exist in the system and ends with the last day of the demand horizon.
  • If you select X, all the requirements defined in the system are met through deployment. Distribution begins on the first day when requirements exist and continues until all the requirements defined in the system are met.
