Range of Coverage Profile in Time-Phased Planning 

Use

Using the range of coverage profile, you can determine a safety stock level based on current requirements. This safety stock level is calculated using the average daily requirements quantity.

Prerequisites

You have a range of coverage profile in the material master (MRP 2 view).

You define range of coverage profiles in Customizing for MRP in the IMG activity Define range of coverage profile (dynamic safety stock).

Features

Example

For example, a material that has a planned delivery time of 2 days is always planned on Tuesdays. In the net requirements calculation during the planning run, the system uses the interval between the MRP date and the availability date of the next MRP date. In this particular case, the interval starts on Tuesday and ends on Thursday of the following week (8 workdays).

The system calculates a requirement of 160 pieces using the information from the forecast that was carried out previously. If the system does not take a range of coverage into account, it simply creates a procurement proposal for 160 pieces, if the stock level is equal to zero and no firmed receipts exist.
