Measures Used for Comparing Policy Parameters

This topic lists the measures that are used for comparing policy parameters.

These measures provide the following kinds of information:

Measures that Provide a Summary of the Policy Comparison Process

These measures provide a summary of the policy comparison process:

Measure	Description
Policies Automatically Accepted	Number of item-location combinations with policy parameters that are automatically accepted. The policy parameters have the Automatically accepted status.
Policies Manually Accepted	Number of item-location combinations with policy parameters that are manually accepted. The policy parameters have the Manually accepted status.
Policies to Review	Number of item-location combinations with policy parameters that must be reviewed. The policy parameters have the To be reviewed status.
Policies Reviewed	Number of item-location combinations with policy parameters that are reviewed. The policy parameters have the Reviewed status.
Policies Adjusted	Number of item-location combinations with policy parameters that are manually adjusted (overridden). The policy parameters have the Adjusted status.
Policies Retained	Number of item-location combinations with policy parameter overrides that are retained. The policy parameters have the Retained status. Policy parameter overrides are retained when the Retain policy overrides check box is selected in the Scope: Advanced Options dialog box on the Scope tab of the Plan Options page for a replenishment plan.

These measures provide information about the existing policy parameters and whether they were calculated or adjusted:

Measure	Description
Previous Minimum Days	Days previously calculated for the Minimum Days measure.
Previous Minimum Days Type	Indicator specifying whether the previous value of the Minimum Days measure was calculated or adjusted.
Previous Maximum Days	Days previously calculated for the Maximum Days measure.
Previous Maximum Days Type	Indicator specifying whether the previous value of the Maximum Days measure was calculated or adjusted.
Previous Minimum Quantity	Quantity previously calculated for the Minimum Quantity measure.
Previous Minimum Quantity Type	Indicator specifying whether the previous value of the Minimum Quantity measure was calculated or adjusted.
Previous Maximum Quantity	Quantity previously calculated for the Maximum Quantity measure.
Previous Maximum Quantity Type	Indicator specifying whether the previous value of the Maximum Quantity measure was calculated or adjusted.
Previous ROP Days	Reorder point (ROP) days previously calculated for the ROP Days measure.
Previous ROP Days Type	Indicator specifying whether the previous value of the ROP Days measure was calculated or adjusted.
Previous ROP Quantity	ROP quantity previously calculated for the ROP Quantity measure.
Previous ROP Quantity Type	Indicator specifying whether the previous value of the ROP Quantity measure was calculated or adjusted.

Before the policy comparison process begins, the existing policy parameters are copied into these measures.

These measures provide information about the suggested policy parameters:

Measure	Description
Suggested Average Daily Demand	Suggested average daily demand.
Suggested EOQ	Suggested economic order quantity (EOQ).
Suggested Minimum Days	Suggested minimum days.
Suggested Maximum Days	Suggested maximum days.
Suggested Minimum Quantity	Suggested minimum quantity.
Suggested Maximum Quantity	Suggested maximum quantity.
Suggested Order Quantity	Suggested order quantity.
Suggested Policy Type	Suggested policy type. The value is the existing policy type.
Suggested Policy UOM	Suggested unit of measure (UOM). The value is the existing UOM.
Suggested ROP Days	Suggested ROP days.
Suggested ROP Quantity	Suggested ROP quantity.
Suggested Safety Stock	Suggested safety stock.
Suggested Safety Stock Days	Suggested safety stock days.

You can use the Suggested Replenishment Policy Parameters table for the replenishment plan to view these measures.

These measures provide the percentages of deviation between the existing and suggested policy parameters:

Measure	Description
Minimum Days Deviation Percentage	Percentage of deviation between the Suggested Minimum Days and Previous Minimum Days measures.
Maximum Days Deviation Percentage	Percentage of deviation between the Suggested Maximum Days and Previous Maximum Days measures.
Minimum Quantity Deviation Percentage	Percentage of deviation between the Suggested Minimum Quantity and Previous Minimum Quantity measures.
Maximum Quantity Deviation Percentage	Percentage of deviation between the Suggested Maximum Quantity and Previous Maximum Quantity measures.
ROP Days Deviation Percentage	Percentage of deviation between the Suggested ROP Days and Previous ROP Days measures.
ROP Quantity Deviation Percentage	Percentage of deviation between the Suggested ROP Quantity and Previous ROP Quantity measures.
