Max stock level as safety stock from material master while running SNP Heuristic

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Our user wants to consider max stock level as safety stock from material master while running SNP Heuristic, not the actual safety stock.

Is there any possibility for this setup?

Hi Kishore,

With the given details I suggest that the user can maintain the max stock level values directly in safety stock field of the material master for all materials to be planned by SNP heuristic (keeping the max stock level field blank). Then this safety stock field (which has actually the max stock level values) will update the safety stock values in APO product master and in turn can be considered for SNP heuristic.

Note: The max stock level field in APO product master is used by SNP heuristic only when the target stock level method is maintained as 4, 5 or 6. Since your requirement is to use max stock level as safety stock, so it does not look like that you will be using these target stock level methods or the max stock level field in R/3 and APO. So, this can be left as blank in both R/3 and APO.

Please let me know if this helps.
