• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CMDS_HEUR114 - - Minimum days' supply - warning: &1 calendar days ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CMDS_HEUR114 is a warning related to the minimum days' supply in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module of SAP. This warning indicates that the planned supply for a product is below the minimum required days' supply, which can lead to stock shortages and potential service level issues.
  Cause:
  The warning is triggered when the planned inventory levels for a specific product fall below the defined minimum days' supply threshold. This can occur due to various reasons, including:
  
  Demand Fluctuations: Unexpected increases in demand that were not accounted for in the planning process.
  Supply Constraints: Issues with suppliers or production that limit the availability of stock.
  Incorrect Planning Parameters: Misconfigured planning parameters, such as safety stock levels or reorder points.
  Lead Time Changes: Changes in lead times that affect the timing of supply replenishment.
  
  Solution:
  To address the warning, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Review Planning Parameters: Check the planning parameters for the affected product, including safety stock levels, reorder points, and minimum days' supply settings. Adjust them if necessary to ensure they align with actual demand and supply conditions.
  
  
  Analyze Demand and Supply: Conduct a thorough analysis of demand patterns and supply capabilities. Use historical data to forecast demand more accurately and adjust supply plans accordingly.
  
  
  Adjust Safety Stock: If the minimum days' supply is consistently not met, consider increasing the safety stock levels to provide a buffer against demand variability.
  
  
  Collaborate with Suppliers: Engage with suppliers to ensure they can meet the required supply levels. Discuss lead times and any potential issues that could affect supply.
  
  
  Run Heuristics Again: After making adjustments, re-run the planning heuristics to generate a new supply plan that meets the minimum days' supply requirement.
  
  
  Monitor and Review: Continuously monitor inventory levels and demand patterns to ensure that the adjustments made are effective. Regularly review planning parameters to adapt to changing conditions.
