Safety Stock Calculation in Oracle ASCP

edited Aug 29, 2025 8:23AM in Value Chain Planning - EBS (MOSC) 6 commentsAnswered

Hi everyone,

In Oracle ASCP, the safety stock is calculated by considering the average demand over the number of days specified in the "Safety Stock Bucket Days" parameter. This average demand is then multiplied by the percentage defined in the "Safety Stock Percentage" field to determine the safety stock quantity.

By default, the calculation starts from the demand date within the specified bucket days. However, our company would like to prepare stock for future demand starting from the next day after the demand date.

For example,
Assume the following data
Day 1, Demand = 100
Day 5, Demand = 300
Day 10, Demand = 200
Day 12, Demand = 400

Safety bucket days = 5

Howdy, Stranger!
