CTM does not support Target Days.

Think about it.  CTM is order based planning.  It doesn't look at future demand.

Hi Ken,

I am aware that CTM does not support Target days. I want to know how we can perform CTM planning with Target days of supply to plan safety stock.

As AK was mentioning,

Target Days is not used for safety stock.   So curious why you are asking about target days?

What is your actual requirement?


CTM does use safety stock / safety days.

Hi Guys,

I appreciate for your time looking into the possible solution. The requirement is not to have a fixed quantity of safety stock or to creates the planned order in advance as a safety days supply. We are looking to determine safety stock for 15 days as example to cover uncertainty of demand. I believe this can be achieved if we maintain it as a Target days of supply. What I understand CTM is not supporting Target days of supply. If there is any exit which I can use for the CTM please suggest or any other work around.

Hi

Could you explain your requirement with an example?


We are looking to determine safety stock for 15 days as example to cover uncertainty of demand.

What do you expect if you have 15 days forecast/sales order (demand), if working with daily bucket?

AB,

I believe that having CTM perform 'Target days supply' safety stock planning is not supported in standard.

If I were required to create a solution for a non-supported safety stock method in CTM, I would probably create a new custom ATP category in configuration, representing a requirements element, to be calculated and populated via custom development, and added to LiveCache via custom development just prior to the CTM run.
