Inventory Optimization Results Workbook

The Inventory Optimization Results Workbook includes the following table views for active stored results:

Workbook Configuration

The Inventory Optimization Results Workbook uses the Inventory Optimization Results Dataset as its source. The dataset joins to Item, Location, Item Location Configuration, and Inventory Optimization Segment.

To customize the standard workbook, use Save As to create a copy. Don't overwrite the standard workbook. In your copy, you can edit each component on the corresponding workbook tab. Shared recipients must save their own dataset copy before editing the dataset.

Consider the following information before you use or customize the workbook:

  • Before you use this workbook, enable Advanced Inventory Management and Inventory Optimization on the Enable Features page. To segment inventory by item-location, also enable Advanced Item Location Configuration. For instructions, see Enabling Inventory Optimization.

  • The results reflect completed inventory level calculations. Changed inputs appear only after a scheduled or manual calculation successfully processes the item-location.

  • The demand analysis dates show the period used for demand calculations. The supply analysis dates show the period used for lead-time calculations. Changing the Supply Analysis Interval preference doesn't change dates on previously created results.

  • The Data Grid column lists the fields included in each standard table view and identifies source dataset fields that aren't shown.

  • Your role needs the SuiteAnalytics Workbook permission at the Edit level and the Inventory Optimization permission at the View level or higher. By default, the standard workbook is shared with all users. Only administrators can change its permissions. Users can only see records and rows available to their roles.

  • The standard workbook shows Inventory Optimization Result records whose Inactive field is false. Inventory optimization processing writes the stored values.

  • Numeric zero is a valid result. A blank value indicates that required source data, an input, or a calculation result isn't available.

  • The workbook doesn't include current item-location quantity fields, a pivot table, a chart, or a dashboard page.

  • SuiteAnalytics doesn't recalculate stored planning values.

The following table lists the standard workbook configuration.
