Q1 2019 Readiness Feature Preview: Days of supply planning (PDF)

SAP Ariba Readiness Feature Preview - Days of supply planning

Supplier Managed Inventory (SMI) is an inventory management method according to which the supplier usually manages the inventory of his customer or subcontractor. Sometimes, the supplier manages the supply planning as well. Alternatively, the customer manages the inventory but the supplier is responsible for supply planning. SMI process is managed using Min/Max Inventory levels.

This feature supports SMI process management based on days of supply. With this feature, the required inventory levels can be defined in the following ways:

• Fixed inventory levels based on Minimum and Maximum Inventory
• Inventory levels based on the number of days of supply
