Inventory policies

A record should be entered in this table if you wish to calculate a safety stock and a reorder quantity for a buffer. The calculation can be done for raw materials, intermediate materials and/or end items.

Field	Type	Description
item	non-empty string	The item name for which safety stock and reorder quantity should be computed.
location	non-empty string	The location name for which safety stock and reorder quantity should be computed.
roq minimum quantity	number	Imposes a minimum constraint for the reorder quantity.
roq maximum quantity	number	Imposes a maximum constraint for the reorder quantity.
roq minimum period of cover	number	Imposes a constraint on the minimum period of demand (expressed in days) to be covered with the reorder quantity.
roq maximum period of cover	number	Imposes a constraint on the maximum period of demand (expressed in days) to be covered with the reorder quantity.
safety stock minimum period of cover	number	Imposes a constraint on the minimum period of demand (expressed in days) to be covered with the safety stock.
safety stock maximum period of cover	number	Imposes a constraint on the maximum period of demand (expressed in days) to be covered with the safety stock.
safety stock minimum quantity	number	Imposes a minimum constraint for the safety stock.
safety stock maximum quantity	number	Imposes a maximum constraint for the safety stock.
service level	number	This is the desired service level percentage for that buffer, E.g : 97.5
lead time deviation	number	The lead time standard deviation considered when calculating the safety stock, can be left empty.
demand deviation	number	The demand standard deviation considered when calculating the safety stock, can be left empty.
do not stock	boolean	Indicates whether this buffer should be stocked. When set to true, a replenishment will only created when there is a demand. Possible values are: “TRUE”: Default reorder quantity of 1 and safety stock of 0 will be used. “FALSE”: Reorder quantity and safety stock will be calculated.
push mode	boolean	Indicates whether excess inventory should be pushed downstream to other locations in the network. Possible values are: “TRUE”: Push excess inventory downstream. “FALSE”: Keep excess inventory at this item-location.
segment_*	number	This values in these columns are not editible by the user. They represent the parameter values computed by the system based on the business rules. When both a user-specified and computed value are provided for a parameter, the user-specified value overrides the segment value.
