time-dependent safety stock - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  Time-dependent safety stock is a feature of the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. It allows users to define a safety stock level that changes over time, based on the forecasted demand for a particular product. This allows for more accurate inventory planning and better control of inventory levels. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Time-dependent safety stock can be set up in the SCM-APO-MD Master Data module. First, the user must define the safety stock level for each product. Then, they must define the time period for which the safety stock level will be valid. Finally, they must define the forecasted demand for each product over that time period. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up time-dependent safety stock, it is important to consider both the current and future demand for each product. This will ensure that the safety stock levels are set at an appropriate level and that inventory levels are not too high or too low.
