| | Planning Inventory Levels (tctrm1136m000)Note You can only define time-phased inventory levels in this
session if the Min-Max Specification field is set to By Quantity in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session. Fixed inventory levels and time-phased inventory levels can be
combined. For the periods for which time-phased levels are set up, these
inventory levels are applicable. For the remaining periods, the fixed inventory
levels from the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session
are used. Example - The terms and conditions agreement is effective from 1
January 2007 through 31 December 2007.
- For this year, the fixed minimum inventory level is
100.
- For this year, the fixed maximum inventory level is
500.
- A time phased inventory level is set up for February with
the following data:
- Start date: 1 February 2007.
- End date: 28 February 2007.
- The minimum inventory level is 200.
- The maximum inventory level is 800.
Therefore, the inventory quantities are as
follows: | Time period | Minimum inventory
level | Maximum inventory level |
|---|
| 1 January - 31
January | 100 | 500 | | 1 February - 28
February | 200 | 800 | | 1 March - 31
December | 100 | 500 |
Terms and Conditions ID An agreement between business partners about the sale,
purchase, or transfer of goods, in which you can define detailed terms and
conditions about orders, schedules, planning, logistics, invoicing, and demand
pegging, and define the search mechanism to retrieve the correct terms and
conditions. The agreement includes the following: - A header with the type of agreement and the business
partner(s).
- Search levels with a search priority and a selection of
search attributes (fields) and linked terms and conditions groups.
- One or more lines with the values for the search levels’
search attributes.
- Terms and conditions groups with detailed terms and
conditions about orders, schedules, planning, logistics, invoicing, and demand
pegging for the lines.
Search Level A priority level for searching and selecting a terms and
conditions line. Search levels include a selection of search attributes
(fields) and linked terms and conditions groups. Effective Date The first day on which a record or a setting is valid. The
effective date often includes the effective time. Expiry Date The date from which a record or a setting is no longer valid.
The expiry date often includes the expiry time. Inventory Unit The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is
recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure
conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the
price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use
the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all
item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock. Start Date The first date and time the time phased inventory record is
applicable. End Date The last date and time the time phased inventory record is
applicable. Minimum Inventory Level The minimum inventory quantity that must be available in a
warehouse. Maximum Inventory Level The maximum inventory quantity that can be available in a
warehouse. | |
