Item Detail

The Item Detail page provides comprehensive information about a specific material, including risk metrics, recommendations, charts, and historical changes.

Risk Assessment Metrics

ADC (Average Daily Consumption)

Weighted average of historical consumption over the configured lookback period. This is the key input for all coverage and stockout calculations.

Coverage Days

How many days of demand the current stock can cover. Formula: Stock ÷ ADC

Days to Safety Breach

Days until stock drops below the safety stock level. Breaching safety stock increases the risk of stockout due to demand variability.

Days to Stockout

Days until stock reaches zero. This is the most critical metric. Values under 14 days trigger CRITICAL status.

Recommendation

Recommended Quantity

The order quantity calculated to bring stock up to the target coverage level.

Rec Qty = (Target Coverage × ADC) - Current Stock

Order & Delivery Dates

Order Date: When to place the order (usually today for urgent items).

Delivery Date: Expected arrival based on lead times from SAP master data (Planned Delivery Time + GR Processing Time).

Understanding the Charts

Stock Projection

Shows daily stock levels over the planning horizon, comparing two scenarios:

Stock Before (Red Area)

Projected stock if no order is placed. Shows when stockout would occur.

Stock After (Green Line)

Projected stock with the recommended order delivered on time.

Note: This is an illustrative projection assuming constant daily consumption.

Time Buckets (PR vs PO)

Weekly supply breakdown from SAP ZPRM data:

  • PO (Purchase Orders): Confirmed orders - committed supply
  • PR (Purchase Requisitions): Planned orders - not yet confirmed

Historical Consumption

Monthly consumption history from SAP ZCOVRM. Used to identify trends and calculate the ADC.

Future Requirements

Monthly forecasted demand from SAP ZCOVRM. Represents expected consumption going forward.

Risk Evolution

Shows how risk metrics have changed across multiple processing runs. Colored markers indicate runs where changes (deltas) were detected. Use this to understand if the item is improving or worsening over time.

Change Detection (Deltas)

When significant changes are detected between runs, they appear in the Changes Detected section. You can filter by change type:

HEADER

Changes to stock levels or master data

BUCKET

Changes to time bucket quantities (PRs/POs)

RISK

Changes to calculated risk metrics

REC

Changes to the recommendation

Planning Parameters

These parameters control how the system calculates safety stock, target coverage, and recommendations. They come from either the default policy or an item-specific override.

Safety Stock Days

Buffer days to protect against demand variability.

Target Coverage Days

Desired days of stock to maintain after replenishment.

Lead Times

Production, transport, and GR processing time for order fulfillment.

Order Constraints

Minimum order quantity and rounding values.
