Simulate Replenishment - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  Simulate Replenishment is a feature of the SAP Replenishment Planning component (CA-RT-XRP) that allows users to simulate the effects of replenishment strategies on inventory levels. This feature enables users to test different strategies and determine which one will be most effective in meeting their inventory goals. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Simulate Replenishment, users must first define their replenishment strategy. This includes setting parameters such as the desired inventory level, the order quantity, and the lead time. Once these parameters are set, users can then run a simulation to see how their strategy will affect inventory levels over time. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When running a simulation, it is important to consider the impact of external factors such as seasonality and demand fluctuations. These factors can have a significant impact on inventory levels and should be taken into account when setting replenishment parameters. Additionally, it is important to run multiple simulations with different parameters in order to determine which strategy will be most effective.
