Data Basis Tab

Analysis Period

Here you can choose between different period types. You can analyze the values for months or weeks and for posting periods, if these differ from the calendar months in your company and you have defined corresponding fiscal year variants. If you select the Posting Periods option, the grayed-out Fiscal Year Variant field is ready for input.

The period interval is calculated based on the selected number of periods.

If the Number of Periods field is empty, zero periods are used for the calculation, meaning that only the current period is issued.

MRP Elements

Here you can select the MRP elements to be taken into account when the stock/requirements list is read. Only MRP elements that you select here are considered in the SCM Consulting Solution stock development. If you do not make a selection, all MRP elements are taken into account. You can display and edit the texts for the MRP elements in transaction OMD5.

The MRP planning section is taken into account. If the MRP Area analysis level is selected on the Material Selection tab, the system displays enhanced selection options:

You can maintain information about which MRP elements are relevant for each MRP segment.

  • No price (0)
  • Commercial valuation price - Level 1
  • Commercial valuation price - Level 2
  • Commercial valuation price - Level 3
  • Tax-based valuation price - Level 1
  • Tax-based valuation price - Level 2
  • Tax-based valuation price - Level 3
  • Always standard price
  • Always moving average price
  • Depending on price control indicator
  • If the moving price is not 0, use the moving price, otherwise use the standard price
  • If the standard price is not 0, use the standard price, otherwise use the moving price

You can also output the results in units of weight or units of measure rather than in values. For the output in unit of weight, choose the option Net Weight and the unit. For the output in unit of measure, the required unit must be selected and the Unit of Measure option must be selected.

Analysis Settings

Here, you can make the settings for the analysis. It is possible to replace negative stocks with 0 and to display the range of coverage. If you also want to display the range of coverage, you can define the aggregation procedure for the range of coverage. You can choose from Average, Total, Minimum, and Maximum.

You can also select the date on which the analysis is based. Either the availability date or the goods receipt date is used. For inspection lots, you also have the option of using the start date of the inspection or the end date of the inspection.
