SMI suggested ship calculation details

Use this page to view the suggested quantity of the part to be shipped by the supplier. This value is calculated using the method specified on the Customer Profile page.

The suggested ship quantity is based on the SMI maximum and minimum quantity, standard pack specified for the part and the quantity of the part on-hand and in-transit.

These methods are used to calculate the suggested ship quantity of the SMI part:

  1. Method1: The result is converted to standard pack. (MAX - MIN)/2 + MIN - QOH - QIT
  2. Method2:
    • Case 1: QTY_PROD1 = ADR * DAYS_PROD1: If (QOH < QTY_PROD1) then SHIP_QTY = CEILING((QTY_PROD1 - QOH + CUR)/ STD.PCK) * STDPCK
    • Case 2: QTY_PROD2 = ADR * DAYS_PROD2: IF ((QOH + QIT - MIN - CUR) < QTY_PROD2) AND (DAYS_PROD2 < DAYS_IN_TRANS) then SHIP_QTY = QTY_PROD2 - QOH - QIT + MIN + CUR
    • Case 3: QTY_PROD2 = ADR * DAYS_PROD2: If ((QOH + QIT - MIN - CUR) < QTY_PROD2) AND (DAYS_PROD2 = > DAYS_IN_TRANS) then SHIP_QTY = QTY_PROD2 - QOH - QIT + MIN + CUR and SHIP_DATE = Second receipt day
