Object documentationDefault Formula for the Projected Stock (SMI)

 

Formula that SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) uses in the standard system to calculate the projected stock of a location product in a period in the Supplier Managed Inventory (SMI) business scenario.

Structure

The system calculates the projected stock as follows:

(Projected stock)i =

(projected stock)i-1 + (in-transit quantity)i + (planned receipts)i - demandi

The index i numbers the periods. The system calculates the projected stock for the current period 0 as follows:

(Projected stock)0 =

(stock on hand)0+ (in-transit quantity)0+ (planned receipts)0— demand0

For more information about which stock types the stock on hand considers, see Customizing for Supply Network Collaboration under Start of the navigation path Replenishment Next navigation step Replenishment Planning Next navigation step Projected Stock End of the navigation path.

Note Note

In the case of the SMI Monitor, the system always considers the own stock and the consignment stock of a stock type. You cannot make settings for the system to only consider own stock, for example.

End of the note.

In the projected stock, SAP SNC can take account of average demands instead of the actual demands. SAP SNC determines average demands automatically from the actual demands. For more information, see Calculation of Average Demand.
