| Replenishment System Current | Indicates the current replenishment system. | |
| Time Bucket Current | Specifies the current time period that defines the recurring planning horizon used with Fixed Reorder Qty. or Maximum Qty. reordering policies. | |
| Include Inventory | Includes inventory in the projected available balance when replenishment orders are calculated. | |
| Rescheduling Period Current | Defines the current period within which any suggestion to change a supply date always consists of a Reschedule action and never a Cancel + New action. | |
| Lot Accumulation Period Current | Defines the current period in which multiple demands are accumulated into one supply order when you use the Lot-for-Lot reordering policy. | |
| Dampener Period Current | Specifies the current period of time during which you do not want the planning system to propose to reschedule existing supply orders. | |
| Dampener Quantity Current | Specifies the current dampener quantity to block insignificant change suggestions for an existing supply, if the change quantity is lower than the dampener quantity. | |
| Overflow Level Current | Specifies the current quantity you allow projected inventory to exceed the reorder point, before the system suggests to decrease supply orders. | |
|
Avg. Stock Value Current
|
Shows the current average stock value. | a) Reordering Policy = Fixed Reorder Qty. (Safety Stock Qty.+ Reorder Qty. Current / 2) * Unit Cost b) Reordering Policy = Maximum Qty. (Safety Stock Qty.+ (Maximum Inventory Current – Safety Stock Qty.) / 2) * Unit Cost |
|
Avg. Stock Value Calculated
|
Displays the calculated average stock value. | a) Reordering Policy = Fixed Reorder Qty. (Safety Stock Qty.+ Reorder Qty. Calculated / 2) * Unit Cost b) Reordering Policy = Maximum Qty. (Safety Stock Qty.+ (Maximum Inventory Current – Safety Stock Qty.) / 2) * Unit Cost |
|

Inbound Whse. Handling Time
|
Indicates the time required to add items to the available inventory after the items have been booked as “delivered”. | The calculation basis is the corresponding location. Without Stock Keeping Unit, the location from the company information applies. If no suitable location was found, the inventory setup applies. |

| Checked | User can indicate, that the line has been checked. All indicators are green. | |
| No. of Periods with Consumption | Shows the number of periods with consumption. |
Period Lines
| Name | Description | Calculation |
| Active | Shows whether the line is active or not. If the calculated values are transferred to planning calibration, the corresponding line is active. If there is more than one usage period, the median is always active in the calculation. | |
| Type | Specifies whether the line was calculated based on the period or the median. |
Shortcut Fields
It is possible to transfer fields from the item table or Stock Keeping Units to all areas of the planning calibration. You can find the setup either in the Assisted Setup or in the demandPlus+ setup.
