Impact of Planned and Production Orders on Day’s Supply Calculations
Return to the Detailed display for the NRG-B bar. First, we need to make sure that the elements
that are included in the Day’s Supply calculation are properly defined. To do this, create a new
session ( ), then follow the menu path:
Tools Customizing IMG Edit Project
Production Material Requirements Planning Evaluation Define Receipt
Elements for Receipt Day’s Supply (click clock icon
)
Make sure that there is an X in:
PO/PrOr (Production/Process Order)
PO/SNSL (Purchase Order, Shipping
Notification, Schedule Line)
and a 2 in FPOrd (Firm Planned Order)
The X entries will cause Production Orders and Purchase Orders to be included in the
calculations for both the 1st Receipt Day’s Supply and the 2nd Receipt Day’s Supply. The 2 in
the Firm Planned Order column mean that Firm Planned Orders will only count in the 2nd Day’s
Supply Calculation.
Save any changes, then return to the Stock/Requirements List.
Next, we will create a production order to see it’s impact on the Day’s Supply calculations. We
want to create a production order that will be completed on the date that the inventory is planned
