Safety Stock Planning

[Former Member]

Hi there!

I'm trying to set the safety stock planning using the standard planning area 9ASNP05 with key figures 9ADFCST and 9ASAFETY for forecast and safety stock. The plannig buckets profile has 47 periods (21 days, 12 weeks, 14 months) and the SFT Planning Profile is the standard SAPDEFAULT. My system is SAP SCM 5.0.

The manual selection considers only 1 product and 150 Locations. I have no historical data so I have set the following values in master data in all location-product:

Safety Stock Method - AT

Service Level - 90

DemandFcstErr - 3.0

RTLFcastErr - 5.0

The problem is the response time, I have tried to run it interactivily but it doesn't end and yesterday I ran it as batch processing and up to know it has not finished...15 hours.

¿Any idea or recommendation?

Thanks in advanced

Hi

That looks like an unusually lonig time

Are your products looped? ie do they have any hierarchy that is feeding back?

If you are using the SAPDEFAULT planning profile and use masterdata for history... i might suggest you change the following settings and save it as a profile to use..

<i>Determine Forecast Err of both Demand and RLT as "Master data"

uncheck the "check historical data" box

Source determination - only header level</i>

Assign this profile to the safety stock planning programs

See if this helps
