Reorder Cycle impact on Planning Worksheet

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hello everyone

I'd like to know if there is any impact of the Reorder Cycle when we run the planning worksheet.

For one item, I have the following setup in the FastTab Planning of the stockkeeping unit card :

Reordering Policy : Lot-for-Lot

Include inventory : yes

Reorder cycle : 6D

Safety Stock: 96

Minimum Order Quantity : 48

Order Multiple : 48

For the stock balance we have 99 units. There is a weekly forecast of 35 pcs.

When I run the Planning Worksheet, some results do not make sense. I have a suggestion of 192 units to order and sometimes the system suggests 2 purchase orders of 48 pcs each in the same week which is too much.

If i keep the reorder cycle empty, i have a suggestion of 48 units each week.

Is there any issue when a reorder cycle is combined with a safety stock? or any other issues related to the reorder cycle?

Thanks

    One very good way to test / evaluate replenishment is by setting a controlled scenarios, which you can expect the result out of head, and compare with NAV result.

    Investigating backward is really tedious and tough task.
