Hello,
I am wondering if it possible to set up a min/max value for an item, but not site or warehouse specific. But rather, D365 looks at our total stock across all of our sites.
That is, when Master Planning runs, it would look at our aggregate stock across the whole network, and suggest a planned order to be fulfilled at one of our sites.
Item coverage could be where this happens.
To reiterate, my idea is:
- Set a min (and max) value of total stock across all sites, not individual sites.
- Master Planning calculates total stock across all sites, not individual sites.
- When total stock is forecast to dip below the minimum quantity required, master Planning then suggests a planned order to be fulfilled/delivered at one of our sites.
- This stock can then be moved around our network as required.
For example:
- Minimum total stock required in network: 100,000 units
- Site A stock: 50,000
- Site B stock: 60,000
- Therefore, we are above our network safety stock
- If site B had 40,000 units, we would be below our network safety stock.
