Change Period Split for Quantity Reliability (SAP Library - Merchandise and Assortment Planning)

Change Period Split for Quantity Reliability

In the Logistics Information System (LIS), the statistics is managed on the amount of quantity variances of vendors.

The delivery quantity variance is a key figure which specifies in percent the variance between the purchase order quantity and the quantity actually delivered.

This key figure is determined if an order item is completed and is updated for the entry date of the goods receipt or for the entry date of purchase order change.

You can determine four interval limits. Five intervals are then available to you for the valuation.

Example

You have set the interval limits, for example, as follows:

1 -20%

2 -10%

3 10%

4 20%

You have determined the intervals as follows then:

x <= -20 (interval limit 1)

-20 < x <= -10 (interval limit 2)

-10 < x <= 10 (interval limit 3)

10 < x <= 20 (interval limit 4)

x > 20 (interval limit 4)

A goods receipt which, for example, was 24% short of the purchase order quantity would thus fall into the first interval.

A goods receipt which overdelivers the purchase order quantity by 13% would thus fall into the fourth interval.

Note

The specification of interval limits is useful only if you specify ascending values for the interval limits.

Requirements

You must have created

purchasing organizations.

Actions

1. Determine your work area by selecting and copying a purchasing organization.

2. If you want to redefine the interval limits for the amount of quantity variance, choose "New entries".

3. Enter an interval limit number in field "CurrNo" (current number).

This number must be between 1 and 4.

4. Specify (in percent) the interval limits for the amount of variance in field "Qty var." (quantity variance).

You can enter four interval limits at the most here which define a maximum of five intervals.

5. Save your entries.
