Determination of a planning surcharge for the reorder point

The configuration offers the option for a planning surcharge to the reorder point in percent. This overhead increases the order proposals determined by Onventis or the planned receipts on which they are based in such a way that the calculated available plant stock (firm+planned) exceeds the reorder point by the defined percentage value.

If this value is preset to 0%, the Onventis VMI module calculates the order proposals so that the available plant stock (fixed+planned) is as close as possible to the reorder level. This value is preconfigured by default with 10%, so that the available plant stock (fixed+planned) exceeds the reorder level by at least 10%.

The value configured here is automatically stored when the planning data of a material is initially imported. A subsequent adjustment of the value per VMI article can be made manually in the material data at any time.
