Hi,
Can anyone explain me how do coverage groups work. Please explain all 4: Min/Max, Requirement, Period & Manual with examples. Also which parameters does it affect like I know it affects planned purchase orders and what else ?
Im new to this so please help me
1. Period. You set a period (100 days) you need 10 in 3 weeks and 10 in 6 weeks. It tells you to make/buy 20 in 3 weeks when planning is run.
2. Requirement. You need 10 in 3 weeks and 10 in 6 weeks. It tells you to make/buy 10 in 3 weeks and 10 in 6 weeks when planning is run.
3. Min/Max. You have a minimum of 50 set and 0 in stock, you have no demand, it tells you to buy 50 for today. You have 50 in stock and you sell 10 in 3 weeks it tells you to buy 10 in 3 weeks.
4. Manual. You need 10 in 3 weeks and 10 in 6 weeks. It tells you to make/buy nothing, you have told it you will manually look after it.
Then you throw in all of the other planning modifiers and see what happens :-)
Hi Murtazaali233,
Period--If the required ship day of the item in SOs is within the value set by ‘period (day)’, system will generate one planned order.
Requirement—System create every new planned order for every requirement after running MRP.
Max/min--Set minimum and maximum inventory levels.
If the stock is expected to be below the minimum, a planned supply order will be generated to restore the inventory to its maximum value.
Manual--Usually used to stock items that are not purchased frequently.
Usually, you also need to pay attention to value of ‘negative day’ and ‘positive day’.
Negative day considers the planned receipt days for sales orders. Negative days allow for delayed supply to meet the demand.
Positive day limit the number of days to generate planned PO. The number of positive day is the number of days to use the existing stock before generating a new planned purchase order.
You can test different setting parameters in test environment and check the difference between them.
