Item Location Measure Mapping tab

You can define these parameters in the Item Location Measure Mapping tab:

Default Source Method

The default source method for planned orders for the item, location combination.

Receiving Calendar ID

The interpolation calendar that must be used from the Engine Calendar Mapping. This value is used to derive ‘Receiving Calendar available days’ from the current planning period to the requirements horizon.

Sequence ID

The order of scheduling. The Item, location combinations are sequenced and passed to the Replenishment Engine in the ascending order of the Sequence ID that the item, location combinations are processed to allow the passing of the latest requirements through the supply network (For example, the planned orders of a warehouse generated by the engine pass as requirements to the factory).

Note: If Sequence ID is not defined, the item and location combinations are sequenced accordingly. This may generate unexpected results, if the connected locations in the supply network are not sequenced in an order.

Schedule Rule

Indicates the engine rule to be used for the item, location combination. Possible values:

• 0, NA – Do not schedule
• 1 – Normal scheduling
• 2 – ROP scheduling

Defer Days

The minimum difference of days (>0) between the DUE_DATE and the NEED DATE that must trigger an expedite recommendation.

Note: If this value is not populated or mapped, consider the value as zero.

Discontinuation Date

The date of discontinuation of item, location combination.

Note: 

• The calculated safety stock target becomes zero after the discontinuation date.
• After this date, there is no restriction on the generation of planned order, if there is a requirement.
• The discontinuation date has no impact after the specified requirement horizon.
• Discontinuation date is not considered, if the parameter is not populated or mapped.

Expedite Days

The minimum difference of days (>0) between the NEED_DATE and the DUE_DATE that must trigger an expedite recommendation.

Note: If this value is not populated or mapped, consider the value as zero.

First Order Planned Receipt Date

The first date when the order can be received by the valid sources. The available periods (if any) before this date is considered as unavailable.

Note: Consider the start date as the First Order Planned Receipt Date, if the value of this parameter is not populated or mapped.

Introduction Date

The date of introduction of the item, location combination.

Note: 

• The calculated safety stock target is zero before the introduction date.
• There is no restriction on the generation of planned order before this date.
• An introduction date prior to the schedule start date has no effect.
• If the value of this parameter is not populated, consider the item, location combination is already introduced.

Last Order Planned Receipt Date

The last date by when the item, location combination can receive an order.

Note: 

• Any available periods after this date are not considered.
• If the value of this parameter is not populated, consider the horizon end date as the Last Order Planned Receipt Date.

Max Storage Capacity

The maximum storage capacity of the location for the specified item. This ensures that the created order does not send the closing stock above the specified value.

Note: If the value of this parameter is not populated, consider the value as zero that is there is no constraint for storage capacity.

Max TPSS Units

The maximum time-phased safety stock quantity, in units, for the item and location. This parameter is applicable when calculating the time-phased safety-stock for a day. The resulting target stock is rounded to the value of this parameter.

Note: If this value is not populated, consider the value as zero that means there is no constraint on maximum TPSS units.

Min Days Supply

The minimum number of required days that must be completed by each planned order. It ensures the created order covers the next ‘n’ days of requirement. This parameter also takes into account current back order (negative stock position) or change in target.

Note: If this value is not populated or mapped, consider the value as zero.

Min TPSS Units

The minimum time-phased safety stock quantity, in units, for the item and location. This parameter is applicable when calculating the time phased safety stock for a day. The resulting target stock is rounded to this value.

Note: If this value is not populated, no constraint on minimum TPSS units.

No Backorder

Indicates, whether the projected stock on hand is allowed to fall below zero while calculating the requirements.

Note: Back order is allowed, if the parameter is not defined.

Opening Stock

The opening stock position for the item, location combination, stored against the current planning period.

Note: If this value is not populated, consider the value as zero.

Order Freeze Period

The time period (in days) from the current planning period by when the new planning orders can be received.

Note: If this value is not populated or mapped, consider the value as zero.

Planned Prior to Fixed

Indicates whether planned orders (if any) can be scheduled before the fixed orders and after the freeze period. Possible values:

• 1 = No planned order prior to the first fixed order outside the freeze period.
• 2 = No planned order prior to all the fixed orders.

Note: If this value is not populated or mapped, consider the value as zero (no restriction).

Reorder Point

The point at which an order must be generated in the ROP schedule rule (rule 2) (when the available stock falls below this value).

Note: If this value is not populated or mapped, consider the value as zero.

Safety Stock Days Cover

The target days required for the item, location combination. If TPSS flag <> 0, this parameter interprets ‘n’ days required for planning requirements and future orders to give a time-phased safety stock on daily basis, for the requirement horizon.

Note: If this value is not populated or mapped, consider the value as zero.

Safety Stock Units

The fixed safety stock target, in units, for the item, location combination. If TPSS flag = 0, this value is used as the safety stock for all the days in the requirement horizon.

Note: If this value is not populated or mapped, consider the value as zero.

Schedule Last Calculated

Receives the date and time when the item, location combination is last scheduled, if mapped.

Schedule Priority

Indicates the result of the last schedule calculation, if mapped. Possible values:

• 0, #NA = No Priority
• 1 = Negative On Hand within the freeze period
• 2 = Negative On Hand outside the freeze period
• 3 = Below Target within the freeze period
• 4 = Below Target outside the freeze period

Time-Phased Safety Stock flag

Indicates whether to interpret a time-phased safety stock (TPSS) for this item, location combination, based on the number of days required (where non-zero) or to use the fixed safety stock units for all the days (where 0, #NA).

Purchase Measure Mapping

You can define these parameters in the Purchase Measure Mapping tab:

Purchase Increment

The order quantity that are increased after covering the minimum lot quantity when creating a planned purchase order for the default source.

Purchase Lead Time

The lead time (in days) when creating a planned purchase order for the default source of the item, location combination. This value is used to calculate the first available receiving day and the difference between ship_date and delivery_date of the purchase orders.

Note: If this value is not populated or mapped, consider the value as zero.

Purchase Minimum Lot Quantity

The minimum order quantity for the item and location combination when creating a planned purchase order for the default source.

Note: If this value is not populated or mapped, consider the value as zero.

Transfer Out Measure Mapping

You can define these parameters in the Transfer Out Measure Mapping tab:

Transfer Increment

The quantity of the orders are that are increased after covering the minimum lot quantity when creating a planned transfer order for the default source.

Transfer Lead Time

The lead time (in days) when creating a planned transfer order for the default source of the item, location combination. This value is used to calculate the first available receiving day and the difference between ship_date and delivery_date of the transfer orders.

Note: If this value is not populated or mapped, consider the value as zero.

Transfer Minimum Lot Quantity

The minimum order quantity for the item and location combination when creating a planned transfer order for the default source.

Customer Measure Mapping

You can define this parameter in the Customer Measure Mapping tab:

Planning Requirements (Demand)

Indicates the future demand for the item, location combination. This value of is the sum of the current item, location combination where, the Item attribute and Location attribute from the Customer allocation matches.

Formula Measure Mapping

Process Measure Mapping

You can define these parameters in the Process Measure Mapping tab:

Purchase Increment

The order quantity that are increased after covering the minimum lot quantity when creating a planned production order for the default source.

Purchase Lead Time

The lead time (in days) when creating a planned production order for the default source of the item, location combination. This value is used to calculate the first available receiving day and the difference between ship_date and delivery_date of the production orders.

Note: If this value is not populated or mapped, consider the value as zero.

Purchase Minimum Lot Quantity

The minimum order quantity for the item and location combination when creating a planned production order for the default source.

Note: If this value is not populated or mapped, consider the value as zero.
