Function documentationRequirement Calculation Profile

 

In the requirement calculation profile, you define parameters that SAP F&R uses in the requirement calculation.

Features

The requirement calculation profile contains all settings for the requirement calculation for a location product. This includes the following settings:

  • For calculating the minimum stock

  • For distributing consumption among the days in the week

  • For the replenishment type (RP type)

    SAP F&R uses the RP type to switch automatically between manual and automatic replenishment.

  • For using the aggregated order forecast for the multilevel requirements calculation

  • Basic settings

    You can configure requirement calculation to set negative stock values to zero, for example, or specify a target stock that you want the system to retain at the end of the listing.
