The safety stock detail tab is available in Forecast Manager, and also in the Inventory Snapshot.
There are several sections to this screen:
Active Statistical Inventory Quantities
This section shows the active, in-use values ultimately calculated for safety stock, target stock, max stock, and reorder point. Each of these values are shown in units, as well as the workday equivalent and the currency value.
Settings - Below the Active values will be a brief note under the that describes what safety stock settings were used to arrive at those values.
Statistical Settings - This section describes what rules were used by StockIQ when calculating the statistical inventory values shown in this tab (see next section)
Statistical Inventory
Even if you have overrides in place where StockIQ safety stock is not being used, SIQ's calculated values are shown under the "Statistical Inventory" heading. Similar to the "Active" section, each of safety stock, target stock, and max stock values are shown.
Statistical SS Methods
When calculating a safety stock, StockIQ will choose between the different methods that apply for a given part. The value for each different method that is currently applicable and available for your selected SKU is shown.
Average Workdays
Forecasted usage is a significant factor in the safety stock calculation. Normally, forecasted usage at lead time is used in the standard safety stock calculation. If lead time is not available nor a forecast, StockIQ will fall back on forecasted usage or historical usage.
Safety Stock Factors
Other factors going into your safety stock calculation are shown in this final section.
Planning LT - The overall end-to-end lead time
Safety Stock LT - If you are using StockIQ's calculate lead times, sometimes vendors require your PO's to be planned to a fixed lead time. However, even in this case, StockIQ can base safety stock on the actual observed/calculated lead time, so this will be shown as the calculated lead time.
Cumulative LT - You also have the option of having StockIQ base safety stock on the end-to-end cumulative lead time of any bill of materials. See Default Safety Stock Settings
Svc Level Target - This is the service level target assigned to the item.
Net Service Level - The net service level calculated for this item. Net service level will reduce the target service level if you have large minimums or multiples relative to your usage. The basic premise is that if your cycle stock is large enough relative to your usage, you will achieve your desired service level simply by ordering the item in normal cycle stock quantities.
This option is usually disabled.
Effective Svc Level - This shows the expected service level that you will achieve based on your current active safety stock. If you have no overrides in place, this should be similar to the Service Level Target. However, if you have overrides this number can be higher or lower. Further, Large Regular Pull may inflate this number as well.
Price Tier - Shows which price tier this item is in, based on your Price Tier Settings. If you are using the StockIQ Order Policy Matrix, then you can elect to have Price Tier be one of the dimensions upon which your order policy and service levels are set.
Typical Order Quantity - Shows what is the most frequent, aka Typical order quantity for this product. Typical order quantity is considered for Large Regular Pull safety stock, and can also be used for a minimum in statistical safety stock as well.
