In this step, you define the percentage of the safety stock to be available for planning. This function is used to avoid a situation where order proposals are created unnecessarily by the system to cover small shortage quantities.

In MRP, the system usually carries out the lot-size calculation for every shortage and creates an appropriate order proposal or - if already available - a firm receipt with a rescheduling proposal.

However, it does not always make sense for a new order proposal to be created for every small shortage. These order proposals must all be managed, converted, placed in stock and settled. If you want to save yourself this effort, you can make a portion of the safety stock available for planning. This has the following consequences:

• An order proposal is not created until the stock level has fallen below the safety stock available for planning

• If the shortage exceeds the portion of safety stock available for planning, then the system creates an order proposal in the planning run that covers this requirement and that also replenishes the safety stock.

The portion of the safety stock available for planning can only be determined using the MRP group. Therefore, to determine that a certain percentage of the safety stock of a particular material is to be available for planning, this material must have been given the appropriate MRP group in the material master record.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Safety stock:              100 pc         100 pc          100 pc

available for planning:      0%            50%             50%

Shortage quantity            1 pc           1 pc           51 pc

Order proposal quantity

for lot-for-lot order qty    1 pc           0 pc           51 pc

Define the percentage of the safety stock that is to be available for planning per plant and MRP group.

For materials planned using demand-driven replenishment (that is materials with an MRP type containing the MRP procedure C - Demand-Driven Replenishment), this setting does not make sense and is therefore not taken into account during the planning run.
