Measures for Multiechelon Replenishment Planning

This topic lists the predefined measures that are available for use in multiechelon replenishment plans.

Predefined Measures for Multiechelon Replenishment Planning

This table lists the predefined measures for multiechelon replenishment planning:

Name	Description
Constrained Beginning Inventory Position	Sum of the Constrained Projected Available Balance and Constrained On Order measures.
Constrained On Order	Quantity of the constrained planned replenishments from the order date to one day before the order due date.
Constrained Planned Order Demand	Constrained demand at a source organization (with the order type of planned order demand) that originates from constrained planned orders at a destination organization.
Constrained Planned Orders	Total quantity of the constrained planned orders (with the order type of planned order) for a location.
Constrained Projected Available Balance	Constrained projected quantity on hand in the future. This measure includes orders of the planned order and planned order demand types.
Unconstrained Planned Order Demand	Unconstrained demand at a source organization that originates from unconstrained planned orders at a destination organization.
Unconstrained Planned Orders by Due Date	Total quantity of unconstrained planned orders by the due date.
Unconstrained Planned Orders by Order Date	Total quantity of unconstrained planned orders by the order date.

These measures are populated for your replenishment plan only when you select the Enable multiechelon planning check box in the Multiechelon Plan Attributes section on the General subtab on the Supply tab on the Plan Options page.

These measures are available in the Default Replenishment Planning Catalog and Incremental Replenishment Planning Default Catalog. Ensure that you add these measures to any user-defined measure catalog for your multiechelon replenishment plan.

Additional Points About Measures

Note these additional points about measures and their use in multiechelon replenishment planning:

• The Total Demand and Total Supply measures don't include constrained demand (orders of the planned order demand type) and constrained supply (orders of the planned order type) respectively. Therefore, the Total Demand measure represents orders of the unconstrained planned order demand type, and the Total Supply measure represents orders of the unconstrained planned order type.
• The value returned by the Projected Available Balance measure in a multiechelon replenishment plan should be considered as the value for the unconstrained projected available balance.
• The Constrained On Order measure shows values from the order date for a planned order.

  However, the On Order measure shows values from the day after the order date for the unconstrained planned order.

• The Movement Request Demand and Transfer Order Demand measures aren't used in the calculation of the Inventory Turns and Projected Fill Rate measures.
