1st and 2nd Receipt days of supply calcluation

[Former Member]

HI,

i was wondering how the first and second receipt days of supply are calcuted when viewing in MD06. I went into the configuration 'Define Receipt Elements for Receipt Days' Supply' via menu Consumption Based Planning --> Evaluation --> Define Receip Elements Days' Supply.

However, in this config activity i'm not sure how it differentiates between 1st and 2nd receipt days of supply? Does anyone know where the difference is located in configuration.

Many Thanks, Erik

Erik,

The receipt days' supply indicates how many days a material will last. The system takes current plant stock and specific, predefined receipts into account when calculating the receipt days' supply.

You can define two receipt days' supplies.This enables you to instruct the system to take the less binding receipt elements into account for the first receipt days' supply, and to take only the binding receipt elements (such as production orders and shipping notifications) into account for the second days' supply.

In the IMG node you can define which mrp elements contributes or should be considered during calculation of days of supply.

Typically for most clients, I advise taking firm MRP elements like Production orders & purchase orders into 1st Reciept days of supply as well as 2nd reciept days of supply.

So in IMG node they get X =Take both receipt days' supply into account

For Firmed PR & Firmed planned order they should be considered under 2nd reciept days of supply only.

So in IMG node they get 2 = Only take receipt days' supply 2 into account

Hope this clarifies your question around this concept. More questions please feel free to ask.

thanks,

Ram

Is there a reason why resulting number of days are same for both First receipt and second receipt days supply is same? Expected to see 2 different values.
