Documentation

Definition

If the stock falls below this quantity, the system flags the material for requirements planning by creating a planning file entry.

Supplementary Documentation - MINBE 0001

Use

The order level can be defined either manually or automatically using a forecast. The automatic method checks the order level periodically and adjusts it in accordance with requirements.

Procedure

Example

Supplementary Documentation - MINBE 0002

Use

The reorder point is important only for reorder point planning.

Procedure

With manual reorder point planning, you enter the reorder point manually. With automatic reorder point planning, the system determines the reorder point automatically for forecasting purposes.

If you are creating a material master record, you must always enter the reorder point manually, even if it is later overwritten by the system. This makes it possible to plan material requirements, even before forecasting.
