Documentation

Definition

The receipt days' supply indicates how many days a material will last. The system takes current plant stock and specific, predefined receipts into account when calculating the receipt days' supply.

You can define two receipt days' supplies.This enables you to instruct the system to take the less binding receipt elements into account for the first receipt days' supply, and to take only the binding receipt elements (such as production orders and shipping notifications) into account for the second days' supply.

Additionally, in Customizing for MRP, you can use the safety stock indicator to define whether the number of days refers to the safety stock or the actual physical stock.

If the number of days is based on the safety stock, which is set in the standard settings, the system calculates the number of days until the stock level falls below the safety stock level. If the number of days is based on the physical stock level, the system calculates the number of days until the stock level falls below 0.

Material with critical ranges of coverage are indicated by red traffic lights in the MRP list and the stock/requirements list. You can define how many days are considered to be critical.

Note

The receipt days' supply is not calculated, if current plant stock is negative.

The receipt days' supply is calculated for a negative plant stock, if the next requirement is in the past.

Dependencies

You can define which receipts the system includes in both receipt days' supply and set the indicator for safety stock in Customizing for MRP, or for Consumption-Based Planning, by choosing the activity Define Receipt Elements for Receipt Days' Supply.

Example

Calculation of the range of coverage: Starting from the current plant stock, the requirements are deducted one after the other along the time axis. This is done until there is a shortage (requirement > stock). The range of coverage is then the number of workdays between todays date and the date of the requirement that causes the shortage minus one day. The value after the decimal point is the ratio between the opening stock on the day of the shortage and the requirement on the day of the shortage.

Stock = 240 pcs

Purchase orders are included in the days' supply, but not purchase requisitions

1st day: Purchase order for 50 pcs => Stock = 290 pcs

Requirement for 90 pcs => Stock = 200 pcs

2nd day: Purchase requisition for 80 pcs => Stock = 200 pcs (remains)

Requirement for 120 pcs => Stock = 80 pcs

3rd day: Requirement for 100 pcs => Shortage

Range of coverage = 3 workdays minus 1 + 80/100

= 2 + 0,8

= 2,8
