A record should be entered in this table if you wish frepple to calculate a safety stock or a reorder quantity for a buffer. The calculation can be done for raw materials, intermediate materials and/or end items.
Key Fields
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| buffer | non-empty string | The buffer name for which safety stock and reorder quantity should be computed. |
| roq type | non-empty string | The reorder quantity policy should be one of the following :
calculated : The ROQ is calculated to optimize your order cost.
quantity : The ROQ is a fixed quantity defined by the user.
period of cover : The ROQ covers a given number of forecast periods.
|
| roq minimum period of cover | number | This field should be populated if the ROQ type is equal to “period of cover”.
It reprensents the number of months of forecast the ROQ should be equal to.
|
| roq minimum quantity | number | This field should be populated if the ROQ type is equal to “quantity”.
It reprensents the number the ROQ should be equal to.
|
| safety stock type | non-empty string | The safety stock policy should be one of the following :
calculated : The safety stock is calculated based on a service level.
quantity : The safety stock is a fixed quantity defined by the user.
period of cover : The safety stock covers a given number of forecast periods.
|
| safety stock minimum period of cover | number | This field should be populated if the safety stock type is equal to “period of cover”.
It reprensents the number of months of forecast the safety stock should be equal to.
|
| safety stock minimum quantity | number | This field should be populated if the safety stock type is equal to “quantity”.
It reprensents the number the safety stock should be equal to.
|
| service level | number | This is the desired service level percentage for that buffer, E.g : 97.5 |
