Maximum stock impact on suggested purchase quantity in the Requirements overview (REO) application
Classification: USEFUL
When calculating the suggested Purchase quantity in the Requirements overview (REO) application, the Maximum stock setting in the Product (ART) application may be taken into consideration if the product is set up with a Reorder point.
When a product is set up with a Reorder point, the system determines the suggested purchase quantity using the following logic:
If Reorder quantity is defined The system uses the Reorder quantity as the suggested purchase quantity for replenishment.
If Reorder quantity is not defined, but Maximum stock is defined The system calculates the suggested purchase quantity as: Maximum stock – Effective stock
If neither Reorder quantity nor Maximum stock is defined The system calculates the suggested purchase quantity as: Reorder point – Effective stock
This logic ensures that the suggested purchase quantities in REO reflect both defined stock limits and expected incoming quantities, supporting more accurate replenishment planning.
Improved reorder point calculation
Classification: USEFUL
The calculation of product shortages based on the reorder point has been improved to provide more accurate purchase suggestions.
Previously, shortages were calculated using the following formula:Reorder point – Available stock.
This calculation has now been updated to also include expected incoming quantities within the product lead time. The new calculation is:
Reorder point – Effective stock
Effective stock includes:
Available stock
Available quantity in Goods Reception (SSA) items
Available purchase backlog expected to be received within lead time, including:
Available quantity in Purchase Order Response (SOA) items with a confirmed delivery date within lead time
Available quantity in Purchase Order Response (SOA) items with no confirmed delivery date but a requested delivery date within lead time
Available quantity in Purchase Order (SPO) items with a requested delivery date within lead time
This updated calculation ensures that incoming purchase quantities expected within lead time are taken into account, reducing unnecessary purchase recommendations.
The change is reflected in the suggested purchase quantities in the following applications:
