Documentation

Definition

The actual range of coverage states the number of days the available quantity of a material in the periods displayed can cover the requirements in the periods that follow.

Use

The system calculates the actual range of coverage for all periods that are contained in the 'Period totals' display. This provides the work scheduler with a overview of ranges of coverage in the future. The days' supply, on the other hand, only displays the current situation, as it is calculated using the stock currently available.

Example

Per./segment Reqmts Receipts Avail. quantity Actl coverage

Stock (09.01.) 10 1,5 days
09.03. 20 20 10 1,3 days
09.05. 30 - -20 0,0 days

The actual range of coverage on 09.01. is 1.5 days, as there are no requirements for 09.02 and on 09.03. the available quantity only covers requirements for half a day. The system therefore calculates 1 day (for 02.09) plus 0.5 days for 09.03.

Only work days are used in the calculation.

Dependencies

The actual range of coverage is calculated and displayed in both the stock/requirements list in 'Period totals' display and in the planning table.
