Balance Report

● Min/Max values can be setup in two modes:○ Manual by Part Number○ Automatic from Gross Requirements

● Manual setup is made by an authorized user account, placing Min/Max quantities at each of the part numbers of a specific supplier.

Min/Max Values

● Automatic mode requires an authorized account to define min/max week factors for a given supplier:○ For example supplier A is configured with:

■ Min Week Factor = 2 weeks■ Max Week Factor = 4 weeks

● Min/Max values for supplier A’s part numbers will be calculated using weekly Gross Requirements quantities:○ Min = Pas Due + Week 1 + Week 2○ Max = Pas Due + Week1 + Week2 + Week3 + Week4

*NOTE: Min/Max calculation is made Monday to Friday at 7:30am CST

Automatic Min/Max

Min Week Factor = 2 weeks Max Week Factor = 4 weeks

Min = 21,280 + 13,087 + 12,992 = 47,359Max = 21,280 + 13,087 + 12,992 + 12,992 + 9,576 = 69,927

Automatic Min/Max Example

● Suggested Ship Quantity (SSQ) is calculated with the following formula:

SSQ = (MAX) - (QOH_WH53+P5) - (IN_TRANSIT)

MAX = Max quantity for part numberQOH_WH53+P5 = Inventory at Warehouse 53 + Inventory

at Plant 5 IN_TRANSIT = Inventory In-Transit from supplier to Plant 4 or

from Plant 4 to Warehouse 53

SSQ is triggered only if QOH_WH53+P5 + IN_TRANSIT is less than the minimum (MIN)

Suggested Ship Quantity

SSQ = (MAX) - (QOH_WH53+P5) - (IN_TRANSIT)

SSQ = 178,985 - 71,977 - 55,550 = 51,458
