Definition

The period profile for the safety time / actual range of coverage contains the periods (stating to/from date) with the safety time/actual range of coverage that is valid for each period. You define the period profile in Customizing for MRP.

Use

In order to smooth out seasonal fluctuations, for any definable period you can define a safety time/actual range of coverage that varies from what you have maintained in the material master in the field safety time/actual range of coverage. If, for example, a higher actual range of coverage than usual is required due to higher demand during the Christmas period, you can define the period with the desired actual range of coverage in the period profile.

  • You can also use the period profile to represent a safety time of less than one day. You do this by entering a safety time % in addition to the safety time.
