The information in this tab is mainly used by MRP to process the Manufacturing Plan and Purchasing Plan. The storage bin field is filled out for products in production to indicate the default storage bin the product will be stored in when coming out of production.

• Storage Bin: default location in the warehouse of the product.
• Planning Method: definition of the elements of supply and demands that are taken into account and with which percentage for the creation of the Manufacturing Plan and Purchasing Plan. For more details, see the Planning Method section.
• Planner: the person responsible for the execution of the MRP plan of the product. For more details, see the planner section.
• Capacity: production capacity per day for the product.
• Min. Quantity: minimum quantity to be entered on a work requirement.
  • Exact: each suggested work requirement is for the standard quantity (as defined on this screen). Multiple suggested work requirements appear for the total demand. For example if the standard quantity is 20 units and the demand is for 85 units, 5 lines of suggested work requirements with quantity 20 appear.
  • Multiple: the quantity that appears as the quantity for the suggested work requirement is a multiple of the standard quantity (as defined on this screen). For example if the standard quantity is 20 units and the demand is for 85 units, the quantity for the suggested work requirement is 100.
• Standard Quantity: quantity that is taken into account in combination with the Quantity Type for the quantity value for the suggested work requirement.
• Minimum Lead Time: manufacturing leadtime of the product.
• Safety Stock: the minimum level of stock that always has to be in the warehouse. For example if there is a safety stock for 1000 units and stock is 900 units, a work requirement (Manufacturing Plan) or purchase order (Purchasing Plan) is suggested for 100 units. Typically low cost products or products with a very long lead time are set up with a safety stock level.
• Max not reserved stock: Maximum stock without taking into account the pre-reserved stock. This field is only visible when Stock reservation feature is enabled. See the below example to understand how it works:

1. Safety stock and Max not reserved stock are 200 and 1000 units, respectively
2. There are several sales orders to be delivered by 3000 units in total
3. These sales orders will generate the corresponding purchase orders (pre-reserved) when launching the MRP
4. There are currently in stock 80 units
5. When MRP is launched it will create the corresponding pre-reserved and because being after below safety stock it will create another purchase order:
   1. As the Max not reserved stock is defined the system will create a purchase order of 920 units (1000-80)
   2. If this parameter wasn't defined it would work as usual and it would create a purchase order of 120 units (200-80)

• Abc: value used in warehouse management to indicate a combination of the stock level and the cost of a part. The value is calculated by running the Pareto Product Report.
