How You Simulate Changes to Item Attributes in Replenishment Plans

You can simulate changes to item attributes by editing the Items table for your replenishment plan.

You can edit these columns in the Items table from your replenishment plan:

• Annual Carrying Cost Percentage

• Average Interarrival Time Override

• Fixed Lot Multiplier

• Fixed Order Quantity

• Intermittent Demand Override

• MAPE Override

• Maximum Order Quantity

• Minimum Order Quantity

• Order Cost

• Preprocessing Lead Time

• Postprocessing Lead Time

• Processing Lead Time

• Selling Price

• Service Level Percentage

• Standard Cost

After saving your changes, run your replenishment plan with the Do not refresh with current data option and Calculate replenishments check box selected on the Parameters tab in the Run Plan dialog box. If required, select the Calculate policy parameters check box. Click Manage Replan Details to open the Manage Replan Details dialog box, in which you can see the item-location combinations for which you have made changes. Deselect the check box under Replan for the combinations for which you don't want to run the simulation.

The changes are lost the next time you run the replenishment plan with the Refresh with current data option selected on the Parameters tab in the Run Plan dialog box. You can optionally copy the changes you make in the table to a simulation set for future use.
