Demand

This key figure represents the total gross demand that is relevant for the respective replenishment variant.

Average Demand

This key figure is only displayed in the SMI Monitor and in the Min/Max Replenishment Monitor. It represents an averaged gross demand that SAP SNC determines by averaging the actual gross demand (Demand key figure). For more information, see Calculation of Average Demand.

Inventory Reservation

This key figure is only displayed in the RR Monitor. It represents the stock of the customer location product that the customer has reserved for specific purposes. The customer informs the supplier about this reservation, for example by telephone or through e-mail. The supplier can enter the reserved stock manually on the product activity screen.

Projected Stock

This key figure represents the stock that, according to the current plan, is anticipated to be available at the customer at the end of a period. SAP SNC automatically calculates the projected stock from the demand data, stock data, and access data. The projected stock can be negative. For more information, see Calculation of Projected Stock.

The RR scenario executes a separate planning for baseline demands and promotion demands. SAP SNC thus calculates the projected stock separately for baseline demands and promotion demands.

Projected Stock (Firm)

This key figure is only displayed in the RR Monitor. It indicates a projected stock that considers firm receipts (that is, published replenishment orders) only. The firm projected stock does not consider planned receipts or unpublished replenishment orders. The system determines the firm projected stock from the projected stock (see above) by subtracting the quantity that comes from planned receipts and unpublished replenishment orders, as shown by the following formula:

Firm projected stock = projected stock – planned receipts – unpublished replenishment orders

The projected stock can consider the open quantity or the due quantity of unpublished replenishment orders, depending on how you define the projected stock. Correspondingly, the system subtracts either the open quantity or the due quantity of the unpublished replenishment order from the projected stock to calculate the firm projected stock.

Projected Stock – Confirmed

This key figure is relevant for responsive replenishment with ATP check (without copying confirmation schedule lines) and represents the stock that has been confirmed as available at the customer at the end of a period. SAP SNC automatically calculates the confirmed projected stock from the demand data, stock data, and access data. The confirmed projected stock can be negative. The RR scenario executes a separate planning for baseline demands and promotion demands. SAP SNC thus calculates the confirmed projected stock separately for baseline demands and promotion demands.

Days’ Supply

This key figure specifies how long the projected stock of a period (Projected Stock key figure) lasts to cover the demands of the subsequent periods (Demand key figure). If the projected stock is negative, the system does not display a value. For more information, see Calculation of Days' Supply.

Days’ Supply (Firm)

This key figure is only displayed in the RR Monitor. It specifies how long the firm projected stock of a period (Projected Stock (Firm) key figure) lasts to cover the demands of the subsequent periods (Demand key figure). See Days' Supply above. If the projected stock is negative, the system does not display a value.

Days’ Supply – Confirmed

This key figure is relevant for responsive replenishment with ATP check (without copying confirmation schedule lines) and represents how long the confirmed projected stock of a period (Projected Stock – Confirmed key figure) lasts to cover the demands of the subsequent periods (Demand key figure). If the confirmed projected stock is negative, the system does not display a value.

Minimum Stock Level

This key figure represents the minimum quantity that must be in stock at the customer in a period. In the RR Monitor, this is the safety stock. For more information, see Determination of Minimum and Maximum Stock Level. In the RR scenario, the minimum stock level is only relevant for baseline planning and not for promotions.

Minimum Proposal

This key figure represents the quantity that the supplier has to deliver to the customer in a period so that the projected stock reaches the agreed minimum stock level (in the RR scenario, this is the safety stock) at the end of the period. SAP SNC determines the minimum proposal automatically. In the RR scenario, the minimum proposal is only relevant for baseline planning and not for promotions.

Maximum Stock Level

This key figure is only relevant for the Min/Max Replenishment replenishment planning method, and is therefore only displayed in the SMI Monitor and in the Min/Max Replenishment Monitor. It represents the maximum quantity that is to be in stock at the customer. For more information, see Determination of Minimum and Maximum Stock Level.

Maximum Proposal

This key figure is only relevant for the Min/Max Replenishment replenishment method, and is therefore only displayed in the SMI Monitor and in the Min/Max Replenishment Monitor. The key figure is not relevant for the Net-Demand-Based Replenishment replenishment method (RR Monitor). This key figure represents the quantity that the supplier has to deliver to the customer in a period so that the projected stock reaches the maximum stock level of the location product at the end of the period.

For more information, see Determination of Minimum and Maximum Stock Level and Replenishment Method.

Raw Net Demand

This key figure represents the unrounded net demand of the customer in a period that the supplier must actually cover during this period. In the raw net demand, the system – contrary to the gross demand – considers the existing stocks and receipts.

The raw net demand is calculated by the replenishment service. The calculation method used here depends on the stock type (baseline or promotion), the replenishment method, and further settings. Product substitution, use of baseline stock for promotions, and use of future promotion receipts can reduce the raw net demand of a product. For more information, see Calculation of Raw Net Demand and the following sections:

Based on the raw net demand, the replenishment service creates a planned receipt.

The replenishment service also considers whether the availability date or the delivery date is defined as the base date for replenishment planning.

Planned Receipts

This key figure represents the total quantity that the supplier wants to deliver to the customer in a period so that the raw net demands of the customer are covered. The Planned Receipts key figure is the only key figure that the supplier can edit: The supplier can create planned receipts manually or using the replenishment service. The replenishment service calculates the Planned Receipts key figure by rounding the raw net demand up or down.

In addition, the replenishment service conducts a scheduling (see Scheduling of Planned Receipts). Starting at the requirement date/time, the scheduling determines the date/time on which the planned receipt can actually be available at the customer location. The date/time depends on the execution times for the various delivery-relevant activities, on the relevant calendars (such as the receipt calendar of the ship-to location), and on the base date for replenishment planning. Depending on the calendars and the execution times, the planned receipt can occur before or after the actual demand period.

The system can save planned receipts as time series (for example, relevant for SMI) or as planned replenishment orders (for example, relevant for RR). Planned replenishment orders are orders of the order document type DRPV.

For more information, see Update of the "Planned Receipts" Key Figure.

Planned Receipts Before Deployment

This key figure is only displayed in the RR Monitor. It is relevant if you use deployment, which is only available in an SCM server installation (see Deployment). If you are using deployment, the Planned Receipts Before Deployment key figure contains the quantity from planned replenishment orders that the replenishment planning run has created. You find the quantity from planned replenishment orders that were created by the subsequent deployment run, in the Planned Receipts key figure.

In-Transit Quantity

This key figure represents the total quantity in a period that is on the way to a customer but which the customer has not yet received. For each period, the system combines the quantity not yet received from the advanced shipping notifications whose availability date lies in the period.

In the in-transit quantity, SAP SNC only considers ASNs with the status Published and Partial Goods Receipt. SAP SNC does not consider ASNs with the status Closed or Complete Goods Receipt.

In-Transit Quantity – Planned

This key figure is relevant for responsive replenishment with ATP check (without copying confirmation schedule lines) and represents the total in-transit quantity on the date that was originally planned in replenishment planning. In all other aspects, the In-Transit Quantity – Planned key figure is the same as the In-Transit Quantity key figure.

Firm Receipts (Published – Due)

This key figure is displayed in the Min/Max Replenishment Monitor and in the RR Monitor. It represents the total due quantity from published replenishment orders (orders of the order document type VGOR) in a period. For a period, the system aggregates the due quantities from the replenishment orders whose availability date/time at the customer location lies in the period.

Firm Receipts (Published – Due) – Confirmed

This key figure is relevant for responsive replenishment with ATP check (without copying confirmation schedule lines) and is displayed in the Min/Max Replenishment Monitor and in the RR Monitor. It represents the total confirmed due quantity from published replenishment orders (orders of the order document type VGOR) in a period. For a period, the system aggregates the due quantities from the replenishment orders whose availability date/time at the customer location lies in the period.

Firm Receipts (Unpublished – Due)

This key figure is displayed in the Min/Max Replenishment Monitor and in the RR Monitor. It represents the total due quantity from unpublished replenishment orders (orders of the order document type VGOR) in a period. For a period, the system aggregates the due quantities from replenishment orders whose availability date/time at the customer location lies in the period.

Firm Receipts (Open)

This key figure is only displayed in the Min/Max Replenishment Monitor and in the RR Monitor. It represents the total open quantity from all unpublished and published replenishment orders (orders of the order document type VGOR) in a period. For a period, the system aggregates the open quantities from the replenishment orders whose availability date/time at the customer location lies in the period.

Firm Receipts (Open) – Confirmed

This key figure is relevant for responsive replenishment with ATP check (without copying confirmation schedule lines) and is displayed in the Min/Max Replenishment Monitor and in the RR Monitor. It represents the total confirmed open quantity from all unpublished and published replenishment orders (orders of the order document type VGOR) in a period. For a period, the system aggregates the open quantities from the replenishment orders whose availability date/time at the customer location lies in the period.

Baseline Stock for Promotion

This key figure is only displayed in the RR Monitor. It is relevant if you plan with promotions. The key figure displays which quantity of surplus projected baseline stock of a period (projected stock minus safety stock) the replenishment service has used to cover the promotion stock of the same period. For baseline planning, this key figure represents a demand (negative quantity), for promotion planning it represents a receipt (positive quantity).

You configure whether the replenishment service is allowed to use surplus projected baseline stock to cover the promotion stock, in the location product master on the GR/GI tab page.

Substitution Demand and Substitution Receipt

These key figures are only relevant for RR and are therefore only displayed in the RR Monitor. They are only relevant if you plan with product interchangeability. When calculating the raw net demand, the replenishment service determines whether a predecessor product that is to be discontinued exists, whose stocks must be consumed first. If yes, the replenishment service creates a product substitution order, which redirects the demand of the product to the predecessor product and reduces the raw net demand for the product accordingly. The system also stores the receipt elements and demand elements for product substitution orders in an aggregated manner in the following key figures:

Released QM Inspection Lot Stock

This key figure represents the stock of the customer location product that the customer has reserved for quality inspection. This stock is considered as future planned receipt at the date of the release.
