Documentation
Definition
Factor used by the SNP optimizer to calculate the availability date of a receipt element within a period (bucket).
Use
If a product is available in the middle of a bucket, the system must know if the product can be used at the start of this bucket or at the end of this bucket (which is the same as at the start of the next bucket). For this purpose, the system uses two rounding limits, one for transported products and one for produced products.
These rounding limits are used in the following way: First, the system evaluates the relevant calendars to determine the exact availability date of the products. Then, the length of the bucket based on this date is multiplied by the percentage specified in this field, to calculate the rounding limit within this bucket. If the exact availability date lies before or at the rounding limit, the product is available at the start of the bucket; if not, the product is available at the start of the next bucket.
Rule of thumb:
- Greater values represent an optimistic view because they imply that the products tend to be available earlier than specified.
- Smaller values represent a more conservative view because they imply that the products are guaranteed to be available.
Dependencies
If you enter a value for the bucket offset in the PDS maintenance, then this value overwrites the value entered in the SNP optimizer profile.
The SNP heuristic does not consider the bucket offset.
