Hi Everyone..I have a question on re-order points. When using manual re-order points and preferred stock levels, are safety stock values ignored? I can’t seem to get NS to add in my additional Safety Stock values on the order items page.

Hey Brian, you may need to recalculate the demand if you added the safety stock after it was calculated previously. It's on the Inventory Management Preferences page. Instead of hitting save, hit Submit & Calculate

Thanks Tim, so if I have manual ROPs turned on for that item, my safety stock should be included?
t
Yes as safety stock is used to calculate reorder points. If the replenishment method is reorder point and not time phased
b
Okay, but I am not having NetSuite calculate ROPs, I am adding them manually.
t
Aww, I see.
In this case, I'm not sure. I would try to submit & calculate on the inventory management preferences page and see what it does to the order items page
b
Got it, I will do that, thank you.

You may need to add safety stock manually to the ROP. (Daily Demand * Safety stock days) + manual reorder point

Can just confirm what Tim said. Safety stock is a natural component within the ROP. So if you set them manually, you need to include SS.
