RRP run, required inventory level

When LN determines the required inventory level for order-based planning, it takes the following data into account:

  • Safety stock
  • Inventory plan

You can define the safety stock in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session. In the same session, you can define a seasonal pattern for safety stock.

You can define the inventory plan in the Item Master Plan (cprmp2101m000) session. You can also generate the inventory plan (see Inventory planning in Enterprise Planning).

If the item has a master plan, the inventory plan determines the required inventory level. However, the inventory level in the first simulated period must be at least equal to the safety stock.

If the item has no master plan, the required inventory level in each plan period is equal to the safety stock.
