aggregated safety stock planning - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  Aggregated safety stock planning is a feature of SAP Supply Network Planning (SNP) that allows users to plan safety stock levels for multiple products at once. This feature allows users to plan safety stock levels for multiple products in a single planning run, rather than having to plan each product individually. This helps to reduce the amount of time and effort required for safety stock planning. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use aggregated safety stock planning, users must first define the safety stock levels for each product in the SNP system. Once this is done, users can then run an aggregated safety stock planning run, which will calculate the total safety stock level for all of the products in the system. The aggregated safety stock level will then be used as the basis for future SNP planning runs. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using aggregated safety stock planning, it is important to ensure that the safety stock levels for each product are set correctly. If the safety stock levels are too low, it could lead to shortages in supply; if they are too high, it could lead to excess inventory and higher costs. It is also important to ensure that the aggregated safety stock level is set correctly, as this will be used as the basis for future SNP planning runs.
