EOQ period - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  EOQ period stands for Economic Order Quantity period. It is a time interval used in Service Parts Planning (SPP) within SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). The EOQ period is used to determine the optimal order quantity for a given part or service. This helps to minimize inventory costs while ensuring that the right amount of parts or services are available when needed. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP APO, the EOQ period is set up in the planning book. The EOQ period can be set up as a fixed value or as a variable value. If it is set up as a fixed value, the same order quantity will be used for all parts or services. If it is set up as a variable value, the order quantity will be determined based on the demand for each part or service. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up the EOQ period, it is important to consider the lead time of each part or service. This will help ensure that the right amount of parts or services are available when needed. It is also important to consider any seasonal fluctuations in demand when setting up the EOQ period.
