Hi All,

I noticed when I set the Roll Flag to off on an MS Level 1 part, the safety stock value is no longer considered.

I can understand that when I set the Roll Flag off, I’m asking the system not to consider the impact of my planned excess production in the PTF, so MS simply maintains my projected balance at the end of the PTF. This is good for a scenario I have where in combination with rate by period I can get MS to create a pretty fixed & stable production plan.

However I noticed if the projected quantity is below the safety stock at the end of the PTF, MS still just works to maintain this quantity, rather than the safety stock.

I wanted to check if this is intentional behaviour? My concern is, that if I get a demand spike in the PTF, this won’t be picked up easily… ok yes I should be checking action messages ;)

Is there a reason the the logic can’t be ‘maintain whichever is higher, PTF Quantity or Safety Stock’?
