Summary :
The SAP R/3 system calculates safety stock using formula 17, which multiplies MAD by a factor of R and the square root of W. To determine W, planned delivery time (converted from calendar days to workdays) is adjusted by adding goods and purchasing processing times, and then averaged over the defined period length according to period indicators (W or M). This model ensures accurate safety stock and reorder point calculations, integrating forecasted requirements and adjusted lead times for material replenishment. Steps include formula adjustment for forecasts defined in workdays and rounding off planned integral delivery times.
