Constraints and Fulfillment Status

There are two ways of overriding automatic stocking: the No Stocking indicator and the Mandatory Stocking indicator.

The indicators can be entered in the material master on the enhanced material master view tab. You cannot set both indicators at the same time. If the No Stocking option is activated, no stocking indicator is set even if this would be the result of an SLM run. If the Mandatory Stocking option is activated, the material is always assigned a stocking indicator, even if this would not be the case after an SLM run.

Both options can be switched on or off separately for the different analyses.

The fulfillment status of a material is used to make the effects of the two indicators visible. In the enhanced material master view in the material master, a status is displayed for the affected analyses. For the No Stocking indicator, the status can have the following values: Overfulfillment or Underfulfillment.

For the Mandatory Stocking indicator, the status can have the following values: Proposals, Partial Proposals, and No Proposals.
