CTM with time phased safety stock

Former Member

Hi

In release 5.0, CTM should be able to handle time phased safety stock via the SSTOCK mode settings as part of the safety stock build up function. However this does not work if you have, next to time phased safety stock, also multiple demand priorities. What I am aiming at, is 3 priorities. Priority 1 = FA, priority 2 = FC and last priority is the safety stock (SR).

Does anyone have worked with the same situation before?

Hi Sachin

Thanks for the input.

However, this does not solve the issue with decreasing time phased safety stock in combination with multiple demand priorities.

If you run CTM with the settings you mentioned, it will respect the demand priorities, but builds up safety stock when the time phased safety stock is decreasing. (This is a release restriction). According to the documentation available, you should run CTM with the additional settings 'do not plan demand' and 'consider shortage' to overcome this. However, it does not repect the other demand priorities anymore. I tried multiple runs (with use of pegging, with different planning settings), but they all do not lead to the required result.

Attach a order Selection profile to CTM Profile with FA, FC and SR as ATD categories, In Supplies tab of CTM Profile salect if you select Build up Safety stk it'll create separate receipt element for Safety Stk. But do not select anything other then " earliness and Lateness".
