Safety Stock calculation in ASCP for 'MRP Planned%" type item.
Hi All,
I have made a simple test case to check the safety stock functionality in ASCP.
I have created an ITEM with Safety Stock method as "MRP Planned%", Bucket Days=5, Percent=10 (this means, I'm expecting 10% of the total demand as safety stock on average basis for next 5 days).
Then created a Forecast in daily buckets for next 5 days with qty 100 on each day.
Day1 Day2 Day3 Day4 Day5
100 100 100 100 100
I ran both unconstrained and constrained plans and both suggested a planned order of qty '2' for safety stock. I don't understand this.
According to the calculation, it has to suggest a planned order of qty 10.
