Documentation

Definition

You can use the second receipt days' supply to separate less binding and binding receipt elements.

For example, you can specify that the less binding receipt elements are taken into consideration for the first receipt days' supply, and only the binding receipt elements, such as production orders and shipping notifications, are taken into consideration for the second receipt days' supply.

Materials 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.

Dependencies

You define the receipts that are taken into consideration for receipt days' supply 1 and 2 on a plant-specific basis, in Customizing for MRP or for Consumption-Based Planning, under IMG activity Define Receipt Elements for Receipt Days' Supply.

Example

Calculation of the range of coverage: Starting from the current plant stock, the receipts are added one after the other on a daily basis along the time axis, and the requirements are deducted one after the other, 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
