Hi Oliver,

The value of SERVICELEVELTYPE affects the how the value stored in TARGETSERVICELEVEL is used.

If the value is 'A', this is equal to 'Non-stock out Probability', or otherwise known as 'Available In Full'. The Inventory code treats the value of TARGETSERVICELEVEL as the value of non-stock out probability - there is no conversion needed.

If the SERVICELEVELTYPE is not defined or set to 'F', this is equal to 'Fill Rate'. The Inventory code converts the value of TARGETSERVICELEVEL to non-stock out probability and uses it in the safety stock calculation.

In both cases, the key figure AVAILABLEINFULL stores the value used in the calculation.

To summarize, if SERVICELEVELTYPE = 'F' or is not defined, the value is converted to available in full. If SERVICELEVELTYPE = 'A', no conversion is made

Thanks and Regards,

This indicates that Available to full (Non stockout profitability)

2. Service level type 'F':

F indicates % Fill rate .

Hi,

This attribute shipped with 2002 version of IBP release.

Planning levels were aligned with regards to the Stocking Node Type Indicator (STOCKINGNODETYPE), Service Level Type Indicator (SERVICELEVELTYPE), and Distribution Type (G or N) (DISTRIBUTIONTYPE) IO attributes.

SAP documentation is not provided any use case to present this usage. I would suggest raising an incident to the SAP support portal.

Best Regards,
