Documentation
Description
This key figure gives an overview of the materials with the most special stock records with stock not equal to 0.
In the following columns, material-related characteristics are shown, if these are not related to the plant or are identical in all plants in which the material exists.
Use of the key figure for analysis purposes
The table is read during the availability check.
The number of records with stock helps you to estimate the relevance of special stocks in the system examined. The more records exist for a material, the more burden there is on the system during the availability check. At the same time a large number of records contain in principle a high optimization potential.
Structure and use of detail displays
During the analysis only records with stock not equal to 0 were taken into consideration. All records for a material are cumulated, independent of the plant. The materials with the most records are displayed. The total number of records is given as well as the percentage of these records compared to the sum of all records with stock for all materials.
The following columns contain:
- low-level code unrelated to the plant,
-information on whether the bulk material flag is set in the master record or not, if this is consistent in all plants,
- the checking group, if this is consistent in all plants,
information on whether the availability check is deactivated for the checking group.
Notes for optimization
The aim of performance optimization in the availability check is to reduce the scope of data to be checked. In the case of special stock there are two ways of achieving this:
a)Deactivating the check for a material
b)Deactivating or reducing management of a material as special stock and far-ranging or exclusive management as anonymous warehouse stock.
To be able to implement these two approaches the hitlists offer help. The materials with the most records have the largest optimization potential, if an availability check is carried out for these materials. This is not the case, when all plants are dealing with bulk material or the check is deactivated in all plants by the checking group.
Further steps are to be discussed in detail with the department concerned.
In particular you should check that materials with a higher low-level code really do want to be treated as special stock and whether here unplanned individual requirements should be transferred to higher low- level codes. This is controlled by the dependent requirements indicator in the material master components or in the BOM.
