ROP/EOQ Steps

Follow these steps to make your ROP/EOQ fly:

New ROP/EOQ Training Outline

New ROP/EOQ Parameters
27.1.4 – New ROP Override Parameters
 - Parameters 1 thru 4 only are used with new ROP/EOQ calculations
 - Setting options for specific vendor(s) ‘V’endor Option
 - Calculate only catalog products
27.1.24 – ROP/EOQ Specific Parameters
 - Overview of parameters and their meaning
 - Lead-Time: calc based on last 5 receipts.  No less than 12.
 - ‘S’tock status options, ‘?’-Options, PM-Product Master
 - Season Codes: ASW vs. ‘F’orward/’B’ackward (2 years)

============================================================
*IMPORTANT -  Seasonality overrides require that the season code be blocked from Corp transmissions. The season code can be blocked by default on all products (recommended) or individual by product. Either way, the system will still be calculating the Seasonality (either B or F) on all products that have not been over-ridden in product master.

To block the season code by default, use Menu 12.3.2.9, enter 'DEFAULT' for the Part Number, and place an N in field 17 - SEASON CODE.

To block the season code by product, follow the same procedure, only enter a part number instead of the word "DEFAULT".
