On this panel you add the warehouses you want the system to search for excess stock. Each warehouse in the supply exception policy is assigned a sequence number which establishes the order in which they are read by the system. In addition, the following can be entered on warehouse level, thus overriding the header level values:
- For Excess stock definitions: Last movement days, Item active days, No of EOQ available, Demand months avail and Excess of ROP + EOQ.
- For Buffer definitions: ROP + Demand days and ROP + ROP %
The Use header val column will indicate if excess stock and buffer definitions for this warehouse will be picked up from the header (the flag is set to YES) or if specific excess stock and buffer definitions are defined for this warehouse (the flag is set to NO).
