    Lot Size Planning in IBP

    SAP Integrated Business Planning supports the following lot-sizing procedures:

    Lot for lot

    Periods of supply, comprising static periods of supply and dynamic periods of supply.

    Production cycle lot size

    You specify the lot-sizing procedure you want to use on the location product level using
    the LOTSIZEPOLICY attribute. The following table shows the options available for this attribute:

    Setting Lot-Sizing Procedure

    0 Lot for lot (the demand for each period is produced in


    that period).

    1 Static periods of supply

    2 Dynamic periods of supply

    3 Production cycle lot size

    Lot-size parameters also affect lot sizes as they determine their range (that is, the minimum and
    maximum size) and whether a lot-size quantity has to be a multiple of a given increment, called
    the rounding value. You define lot-size parameters on the level of production or location source
    of supply.

    Lot for Lot

    Using this lot-sizing procedure (the default) means that the heuristic doesnt bundle the demands
    for subsequent periods. The demand for each period is satisfied by a receipt in each period.

    Only the heuristic explicitly follows the lot-for-lot strategy when generating a supply plan. It has
    no impact on the optimizer because the optimizer calculates lot sizes according to minimal costs.
    If stock holding costs are low and fixed production costs are high, the optimizer might decide to
    bundle the demand of subsequent weeks, for example, to save fixed production costs or to
    minimize the effect of increasing purchasing costs. If, in contrast, fixed production costs are low
    and stock holding costs are high, it might be cost optimal to produce the demand of each period
    in that period, that is, to follow a lot for lot strategy.

    To use this lot-sizing procedure, set the LOTSIZEPOLICY attribute to 0 (zero) on location
    product level.

    Production Cycle Lot Size

    This lot-sizing procedure is only relevant for production sources of supply. A production cycle
    defines the frequency in which a product is produced (for example, every 90 days). For location
    products that follow such a production cycle, the system builds up stock (in each period with a
    production event) that covers the demand of all subsequent periods until the next production
    period, that is, until the next period with production receipts greater than zero.

    To use the production cycle lot size lot-sizing procedure, set the LOTSIZEPOLICY attribute to 3
    on location product level and define the attribute PERIODSOFCOVERAGE on production source
    level.

    Both the heuristic and the optimizer then build up stock to cover the net demand of a definable
    number of future successive periods. You define the number of periods in
    the PERIODSOFCOVERAGE attribute. Stock is then built up to cover the net demand, which is
    passed to a production source.

    The ADDITIONALLOTSIZEDEMAND key figure shows you how many additional units of a
    product have to be kept in stock to satisfy the demand generated by using this lot-sizing
    procedure.
    Periods of Supply

    This lot-sizing procedure builds up stock to cover the demand of the current period and a
    definable number of subsequent periods so that stock is high enough to cover the demand for
    these future periods. It bundles the dependent demand or the production demand of the current
    period and a certain number of subsequent periods into one transport or production receipt
    planned for the current period.

    You define the number of subsequent periods in the input key figure SUBPERIODSOFSUPPLY-
    Target Periods of Supply.

    You have the following options with this lot-sizing procedure:

    Static periods of supply

    Dynamic periods of supply

    Sub period Number

    You define the number of sub periods in the input key figure SUBPERIODNUM- Number of
    Sub periods for each period of the planning horizon. If SUBPERIODNUM contains a value
    greater than zero, the coverage time span is defined in the number of sub periods.
    If SUBPERIODNUM is empty, the coverage time span equals a multiple of periods

    Understanding: In the key figure SUBPERIODSOFSUPPLY, specify the number of sub


    periods to be covered, for example, 15 in one period, 30 in the next. If you specify 30
    in SUBPERIODNUM and 15 in SUBPERIODSOFSUPPLY, the projected stock at the end of
    the period covers 15 from 30, that is, 50% of the dependent demand of the subsequent period.

    (It's assumed that the dependent demand of a period is equally distributed over all subperiods of
    that period.)

    Use Inventory Target Instead of Periods of Supply?

    Instead of using the periods of supply lot-sizing procedure, you could specify a safety stock
    independent of the dependent demand of future periods using the inventory target input key
    figure (INVENTORYTARGET). This has certain disadvantages, as follows:

    If the subsequent periods dont have any demand (or less than expected demand), the safety
    stock would be built up unnecessarily.

    If future demand is higher than expected, the target stock might be too low to cover it all.

    You could use both the static periods of supply lot-sizing procedure and
    the INVENTORYTARGET key figure so that the system has to take into account dependent
    demand, projected stock of the previous period, and the demand possibly caused by inventory
    target when calculating a periods net demand.

    Static Periods of Supply

    This lot-sizing procedure aims to build up safety stock that covers the dependent demand of a
    definable number of subsequent periods. You specify the number of subsequent periods in the
    input key figure Sub periods of Supply (SUBPERIODSOFSUPPLY).

    key figureAdditional
    Lot-Sizing-Procedure
    Demand (ADDITIONALLOTSIZEDEMAND) shows you how many additional units of a
    product have to be kept in stock to satisfy the demand generated by using this lot-sizing
    procedure.

    Both the heuristic and the optimizer take static periods of supply into account.
