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