Description
In safety stock calculation, a coverage period is required. It may be necessary to periodically change the coverage period. Profiles can be set up and assigned to locations, and any changes to the coverage period need only be made at the profile level, rather than changing the coverage period for every location-material master data record.
The Safety Cover is the number of days that need to be considered in the safety stock calculation during planning. It is the the number of days that the safety stock level should cover.
Example
If a location sells 5000 Gallons per day and it is necessary to have enough stock to supply for 10 days, then the safety stock level is 5000 Gallons * 10 days= 50000 Gallons of safety stock. The Safety Cover is the number of days the location could continue to make issues after the safety stock level is reached based on the standard day.
