Nb of Inbound shipments from SAP
As we saw before, the ‘Nb of inbound shipments from SAP’ is calculated and constitutes the initial (default) value.
How is it calculated?
- We extract all the stock entries from Material Documents of MB51, calculating the number of lines
- Then we calculate the Number of inbound shipments as follows :
Number of inbound shipments = Number of stock entries SAP last 12 months) * (SHS RLT / Number of inbound days by Site per year)
Note: - when previous calculations returns a value < 1, we round it to 1 (because we have at least 1 inbound during RLT)
- number of inbound days by Site = 365 days by default but it can be manually adjusted by user (ex: for Mexico Natie, it’s 210 days)
Example: RHODOLINE 117 50 550LB CHP 7424 / Sunland Greenville | 102594@0294
Number of inbound shipments = 4 * ( 19 / 365) = 0.2 -> 1
