Coverage profile is used for calculating the dynamic safety stock. It is a statistical ABAP Development 2
calcuation on the basis of average daily requirement. The dynamic safety stock is

The requirement falls in 1st period (month that is 30 days because it is maintained
with type 2 as calendar days)
Top Kudoed Authors
The calculation formula is
Dmitry_Kuznetsov  11
Number of days= period 1 *30=30

satinder_singh  6
Requirement Qty= 100

Target Range of Coverage in Period 01= 3 Leelamohan  5

So, average Daily requirement =100/30= 3.33 that is 4

Here the planned order will be created for 120 qty

Explanation:

Number of days= period 1 *30=30

Requirement Qty= 100

Target Range of Coverage in Period 01= 5

So, average Daily requirement =100/30= 3.33 that is 4

Safety stock requirement=4*(target 5)=20

So, the planned order qty is= 100 + safety stock 20 that is 120

would like to share the document for easy understanding the functionality for
coverage profile and the calculation of dynamic safety stock using coverage profile.

Thanks

The explanation is good. But for the material the procurement type is F (external) and
you have created PIR for the same material. Is it a standard practice? I am not sure.

Hi

you are right, but for the simple understanding i have created the PIR.

there should not be any issue with creating PIR as the MRP will generated Planned
order which can be converted to Purchase requisition and so to purchase order.

by generating a requirement for the parent material it would have generated the
Dependent requirement and purchase requisition but it will be bit one more step to
understand the functionality of coverage profile.

Hope it makes your point clear.

Thanks

Hi Ravindra ;

THanks for the documents above;

I was reviewing the process and I have one more question about the complete setup
for the dynamic safety stock.

https://community.sap.com/t5/enterprise-resource-planning-blogs-by-members/coverage-profile/ba-p/13259829 12/16
11/21/24, 7:56 PM Coverage Profile - SAP Community

After setting up the coverage profile and in same time if minimum safety stock is
maintained then system will automatically create planned orders (requirements) to
compansate the difference between min. SS and the dynamic ss calculated according
to the average requirements, Correct ?

My question is :

How can I setup also an upper threshould for the safety stocks calculated from the
coverage profile if they are going to exceed certain amounts. (For example to avoid
building extra stocks if there was a sporadic demand increase in period under
calculation)

Thanks for the support.

Hello,

I am testing the dynamic safety stock but I have the problem that when the material will become
phase out the system still keeps available stock when the forecast finished.

is there a way when the forecast is finished that the system does not proposed planned orders to
still keep available stock?

the lifecycle of our SKUs is around 1 year, so it´s important to avoid obsoletes

Regards

Lucio
