Safety Stock Availability



Define Safety Stock Availability

The IMG can be set in SM30 - V_438M_S

You define per plant and per MRP group the percentage of the safety stock that is to be available for planning. This helps to avoid a situation where order proposals are created unnecessarily by the system to cover small shortage quantities.


For example:




Mat. 1

Mat. 2

Mat. 3

Safety stock:



100 pc

100 pc

100 pc

available for planning:
