Definition
The Safety Stock Alert will notify you when either the difference between the active safety stock and the statistical safety stock is greater than the minimum units variance, or when the difference between the active safety stock value and the statistical safety stock value is greater than the minimum value variance.
The goal of this alert is to help identify, in an automated way, the items that have too much or not enough safety stock.
The main screen for the Safety Stock alert is the Safety Stock Summary screen.
- Min Value Variance - Minimum dollar variance between active and statistical safety stock before an alert is generated
