Setup > Stock > Stock parameters 

Use this function to define the stock-site parameters that will be used for processing:

  • replenishment calculations,
  • the stock counts of classes A, B and C,
  • and stock shortage adjustment.

You can create a default setup linked to the site for all product categories or to define a specific setup for a given site and product category.

    Prerequisite

    SEEREFERTTO Refer to documentation Implementation

    Screen management

    The stock-site setup contains three tabs associated with a general header.

    Header

    Presentation

    In this header, indicate the site and any product category associated with this setup.

    Close

     

    Fields

    The following fields are present on this tab :

    Enter or select the storage site where the selected product is active.

    The Selection icon (magnifying glass) only suggests products that are referenced in the products-sites table.

    Enter a product category.
    When no product category is entered, the setup applies to all products.

    Close

     

    Tab Reordering Parameters

    Presentation

    Enter the parameters that will be used in the calculation of:

    the safety stock,

    the replenishment threshold,

    the economic quantity,

    the maximum stock,

    This information is updated in the corresponding product-site record once the replenishment processing outside of the MRP has been launched. In fact, this processing can both provide a calculation of the data, and generate the replenishment suggestions (see the Replenishment outside of MRP).

    Safety stock

    The purpose of the safety stock calculation (and so, of the service rate) is to find the right balance between the storage cost (in stock) and the cost of a stock shortage.
    The safety stock calculation uses the following formula:

    Safety stock = K*sigma*lead-time

    K is a constant that depends on the service rate (please refer to the Safety stock coefficient documentation).

    Sigma represents the variance type of the consumption over the calculation period.

    The lead-time represents the replenishment or production lead-time expressed in the product-site.

    Replenishment threshold (order point)

    The replenishment threshold used in the following formula:

    Reorder point = (Average daily consumption * reorder lead-time) + Safety stock.

    The average consumption day is calculated with respect to a determined historic period.

    The average consumption day is calculated on the period [hist min, hist max]

    Economic quantity

    The economic quantity calculation uses the Poisson formula:

    Economic quantity = Ö (2*R*Oc/(I*Uc))

    D: represents the requirement over the period

    Oc: Cost of processing an order

    I: Stock holding rate

    Uc: Unit cost. The unitary cost is equal to the standard cost. Calculate the request in a period [hist min, hist max]

    Maximum stock

    The maximum stock is linked to the products that are the object of a periodic replenishment.

    The maximum stock is calculated in the following way:

    Max stock = average daily consumption * (reorder lead time + periodicity between two replenishments)

    The average consumption day is calculated on the period [hist min, hist max]

    Fields

    The following fields are present on this tab :

    Safety stock

    • Minimum history (field SAFMINHIS)

    Specify the minimum number of months required for the calculation.

    • Maximum history (field SAFMAXHIS)

    Enter the maximum number of months required for the calculation.
    If the history exceeds this number, the most recent 'N' months are used for calculation.

    Specify a service rate for each of the A, B and C classes.
    The service rate is used to determine a K coefficient, expressed as a percentage. This K coefficient is used in the safety stock calculation formula.
    The relationship between the service rate and the coefficient is defined in the Safety stock coefficients table.
