Hi All,
Seeking your help here.
I am trying to understand the order point calculation for one of my part. I have set up this part as planning method B and entered the lot size as 10.
Purchase lead-time for this part is 10 days. No safety stock is maintained.
When I run the “Calculate Planning Data” job for 10 periods but this part is only active for 4 periods and system calculate the order point as 22.258 with some decimals but I am struggling to understand how this is calculated. I checked the IFS help and it says below equation is used.
Order point (pieces) = [Average demand (pieces/period)] * [Lead time (period) + Safety stock (pieces)]
I checked the average demand from the inventory availability planning and it shows as 125. Not sure this is the correct place that I need to check.
In the help it was also mentioned that data for this calculation is stored in On Hand Develop per Period window but still didn't give me proper data to calculate.
Does anyone can give me a pointer for this. Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chamath
