Table 7-7 Measures: Inventory Packsize Details

Measure Label Description

Projected Inventory

The Projected Inventory is the projected inventory calculated in the most recent AIP batch run. It includes any impacts due to scaling to Supplier Minimums and Container Minimums. This is calculated using the standard PI calculation where the Planned Receipts (PR) element represents scaled orders.

Projected Inventory – Pre-Scaling

The Projected Inventory – Pre-Scaling is the projected inventory calculated in the most recent AIP batch run prior to applying Supplier Minimums and Container Constraints. This is calculated using the standard PI calculation where the Planned Receipts (PR) element represents pre-scaling orders output from replenishment.

Projected Inventory – What-if

The Projected Inventory – What-if displays the Pre-scaling Projected Inventory calculated in the most recent AIP Batch run. If any changes are made to WRP parameters and you select What-if – Unconstrained or What-if – Constrained from the What-ifoption on the menu bar, this measure is updated with the newly calculated PI for the SKU/Warehouse.

Warehouse Capped PI

The Warehouse Capped PI is calculated using the standard PI equation:

PIt = Max (PIt-1 + ERt-1 – Dmdt-1 + PRt-1 – ESt-1 – COt-1, 0)

Where Dmdt = Capped Demand (demand based on CRPs into the destinations) for any day t

PRt = Planned Receipts (Receipt Plan) at the warehouse for any day t

Both Dmdt and PRt represent aggregate values at the SKUGroup level for all SKUPacks belonging to that SKU Group.

Warehouse Capped PI – What-if

The Warehouse Capped PI – What-if is the What-if version of Warehouse Capped PI.

Warehouse Residual Excess Quantity

The Warehouse Residual Excess Quantity is equal to any excess stock that was left at the end of day for which there were no locations available to receive excess stock (either because of inventory capping or no ATP days or for any other reason). After stockless processing for the day, this quantity can be calculated as follows:

ResidualQty(t) = Max(PI(t) + ER(t) + CRP(t) – Dmd(t), 0) (essentially the PI calculation for day t+1)

Warehouse Residual Excess Quantity – What-if

The Warehouse Residual Excess Quantity – What-if is the What-if version of Warehouse Residual Excess Quantity.

If the indicator is On, MSQ is applied as a constraint during ordering decisions.

Net Inventory - Store

Net Inventory - Store (NI) is calculated in batch AIP and is a prediction of the inventory position at the end of review time. It represents what inventory is available to meet demand over the period.

The NI calculation is based on the Projected Inventory position at the beginning of the period, then considering the impact of Expected Receipts (ER) and Expected Spoilage (ES) over the review time.

Net Inventory - Store is only calculated on Available to Plan receipt days, and is used as the point at which SRP generates a planned receipt.

Important: While it is possible to rollup Net Inventory across the time dimension, it is not recommended. Aggregation over time does not produce a meaningful result since the calculation of Net Inventory involves the summation of data over review times which do not correlate with positions in the calendar hierarchy.

Store Net Inventory Post Replenishment

Store Net Inventory Post Replenishment is the inventory over the review time factoring in a planned receipt. This is Store Net Inventory plus the planned receipt on that day.

Store Ordering Pack-size

The Store Ordering Pack-size represents the primary pack-size to be used when ordering a SKU for a store (either from a warehouse or from a supplier).

Note: Store Ordering Pack-size is loaded from Data Management (DM).

Percent of Pallet (expanded) - Store

None of that day's activities (either receipts or demand) are reflected in PI, and so it is often referred to as a beginning of day position.

PI on a given day is calculated as the PI of the previous day plus the net impact of all demand and replenishments on the previous day. Previous day demand is consists of forecasted demand plus any Customer Orders (CO) on that day. Previous day replenishments consist of Expected and Planned Receipts.

Promotion Presentation Stock - Store

ThePromotion Presentation Stock - Store represents the Promotion Presentation Stock - End of Promo Factor applied to the Promotion Presentation Stock Pre Factor - Store.

Measure Label Description

Reconciliation Method

The Reconciliation Method is used to determine if reconciliation occurs on a day by day basis or over time.

The Reconciliation Method options are:

  • Day-on-Day

  • Reconcile Over Time

Example:

Selecting Day-on-Day causes reconciliation from the source warehouse or supplier to occur for each day in the planning horizon. Day-on-Day reconciliation ships the inventory out to the store or warehouse destination quickly, considering only those destination stores or warehouses where a shipment today would arrive on the Available to Plan (ATP) day. While this method may ship the inventory sooner than the Reconcile Over Time method, stores or warehouses with ATP days later in the review period may receive less inventory than those with ATP days earlier in the review period.

Selecting Reconcile Over Time causes reconciliation from the source warehouse or supplier to occur over each review period in the planning horizon. Reconcile Over Time allocation may cause some inventory to be retained at the source warehouse or supplier for shipment later in the review period. While this method may not ship the inventory as quickly as the Day-on-Day method, all ATP days within the review period for all stores and warehouses are considered equally in the inventory allocation.

Projected Inventory

The Projected Inventory is the projected inventory calculated in the most recent AIP batch run. It includes any impacts due to scaling to Supplier Minimums and Container Minimums. This is calculated using the standard PI calculation where the Planned Receipts (PR) element represents scaled orders.

Projected Inventory – Pre-Scaling

The Projected Inventory – Pre-Scaling is the projected inventory calculated in the most recent AIP batch run prior to applying Supplier Minimums and Container Constraints. This is calculated using the standard PI calculation where the Planned Receipts (PR) element represents pre-scaling orders output from replenishment.

Projected Inventory – What-if

The Projected Inventory – What-if displays the Pre-scaling Projected Inventory calculated in the most recent AIP Batch run. If any changes are made to WRP parameters and you select What-if – Unconstrained or What-if – Constrained from the What-if option on the menu bar, this measure is updated with the newly calculated PI for the SKU/Warehouse.

Warehouse Capped PI

The Warehouse Capped PI is calculated using the standard PI equation:

PIt = Max (PIt-1 + ERt-1 – Dmdt-1 + PRt-1 – ESt-1 – COt-1, 0)

Where Dmdt = Capped Demand (demand based on CRPs into the destinations) for any day t

PRt = Planned Receipts (Receipt Plan) at the warehouse for any day t

Both Dmdt and PRt represent aggregate values at the SKUGroup level for all SKUPacks belonging to that SKU Group.

Warehouse Capped PI – What-if

The Warehouse Capped PI – What-if is the What-if version of Warehouse Capped PI.

Warehouse Residual Excess Quantity

The Warehouse Residual Excess Quantity is equal to any excess stock that was left at the end of day for which there were no locations available to receive excess stock (either because of inventory capping or no ATP days or for any other reason). After stockless processing for the day, this quantity can be calculated as follows:

ResidualQty(t) = Max(PI(t) + ER(t) + CRP(t) – Dmd(t), 0) (essentially the PI calculation for day t+1)

Warehouse Residual Excess Quantity – What-if

The Warehouse Residual Excess Quantity – What-if is the What-if version of Warehouse Residual Excess Quantity.
