Administrator 53.1 3 == **Creating new period and setting rules** ==
Administrator 1.1 4
Administrator 53.1 5 Periods function is used, when the system has to be prepared for an upcoming known change in demand, i.e. this coming period will require more stocks, for example for the season.
Administrator 1.1 6
Administrator 53.1 7 We recommend to use this function in cases when the supplier will be able to supplement the goods 2 times or more, within a specified period. If the supplier supplements the goods once during the period, then use the special order to order the required goods (see: [[Special Order Formation>>doc:User_Manual.Orders.WebHome||anchor="HSpecialordersformation"]]).
Administrator 1.1 8
Administrator 53.1 9 If the item participate in active period, its name appears in the "Inventory" window. In order for a column to be visible, it must be selected through the "Column Selection Form".

Administrator 53.1 15 Items, for which fluctuations in demand appears due to the seasonal change, the following periods must be set: STOCK-M → “Time intervals” → “Periods” → press “NEW”.
Administrator 1.1 16
Administrator 53.1 17 In the new period that opens, enter the "head" information for the period (in the "head" specified information will be applied to all items):
Administrator 1.1 18
Administrator 53.1 19 **General information:**
Administrator 1.1 20
Administrator 53.1 21 1) Name (period name has to be unique);
Administrator 41.1 22
Administrator 53.1 23 2) Start date, when the period has to start **(!!! Date has to be today or newer)**;
Administrator 1.1 24
Administrator 53.1 25 3) Buffer change actions for the start of the period (marked by dot is an active action):
Administrator 1.1 26
Administrator 53.1 27 [[image:41_StartAction.png]]
Administrator 1.1 28
Administrator 53.1 29 * __Buffer change on begin date__ -buffer will be changed on specified period start date;
30 * __Buffer change on the first order before begin __date - the buffer will be changed for the order that has to arrive before the specified start date.
Administrator 1.1 31
Administrator 53.1 32 4) Select a buffer setting type:
Administrator 1.1 33
Administrator 53.1 34 [[image:buf_calc.png]]
Administrator 1.1 35
36
Administrator 53.1 37 * __Calculate by buffer__ - mark, if you want to adjust buffer change formula for all items, which participate in the period.

41 )))
Administrator 1.1 42
Administrator 53.1 43 (% style="letter-spacing:0.1px" %) We recommend to use this type of buffer, when managing promotions and seasonality.
Administrator 1.1 44
Administrator 53.1 45 (% style="letter-spacing:0.1px" %) Buffer formula:
Administrator 1.1 46
Administrator 53.1 47 - If you want to increase / decrease item buffers by an appropriate coefficient (percentage), enter the number value in the first field of the provided formula (eg: increasing item buffers by 40%, enter the value 1.4, decreasing item buffers by 30%, entering the value 0.7, etc. );
Administrator 1.1 48
Administrator 53.1 49 - If you want to increase the item buffers by the appropriate number (constant), enter a number value into the second field of the provided formula (eg: increasing item buffers by 10, inserting a value of 10. Reducing is not possible).
Administrator 1.1 50
Administrator 53.1 51 (% style="letter-spacing:0.1px" %) Date. Specify, which date buffer you want to use for the period. The BUF date must be not later than the start date of the period.
Administrator 1.1 52
Administrator 53.1 53 (% style="letter-spacing:0.1px" %)Take into account MOQ:
Administrator 1.1 54
Administrator 53.1 55 (% style="letter-spacing:0.1px" %) * (%%)if checkmark is placed, the buffer is calculated according to the formula: Buffer = (buffer of the specified date - MOQ) * coefficient + constant + MOQ
Administrator 1.1 56
Administrator 53.1 57 (% style="letter-spacing:0.1px" %) * (%%)if no checkmark, the buffer is calculated according to the formula: Buffer = buffer of the specified date  * coefficient + constant
Administrator 41.1 58
Administrator 53.1 59 * __Set buffers manually__ – mark if you want to assign a buffer to each item in the period.
60 * (% style="letter-spacing:0.1px" %)__Calculate by average sales__ - mark, if you want to adjust buffer change formula for all items, which participate in the period:
Administrator 41.1 61
Administrator 53.1 62 (((
63 [[image:buf_calc_2.png]]
64 )))
Administrator 1.1 65
Administrator 53.1 66 This type of buffer setting allows you to calculate the periodic buffer, based on the average sales, multiplied by set coefficient. We recommend to use this method of calculation when MOQ are high and sales are low.
Administrator 1.1 67
Administrator 53.1 68 Average sales are calculated for a selected period, the date of which cannot be later than the beginning of the period.
Administrator 1.1 69
Administrator 53.1 70 * (% style="letter-spacing:0.1px" %)__Calculate by max sales__ - mark, if you want to adjust buffer change formula for all items, which participate in the period:
Administrator 1.1 71
Administrator 53.1 72 [[image:buf_calc_3.png]]
Administrator 1.1 73
Administrator 53.1 74 It is necessary to specify:
Administrator 1.1 75
Administrator 53.1 76 ~* The period from which the program will take the maximum amount of sales during the supply cycle (RD). If the period is specified too short (<RD), the program will take the buffer at the beginning of the period instead of the maximum sales amount.
Administrator 1.1 77
Administrator 53.1 78 ~* Coefficient - the calculated amount will be multiplied by the specified coefficient (if the amount is not calculated due to an incorrectly specified period, the current buffer will be multiplied by this coefficient).
Administrator 1.1 79
Administrator 53.1 80 **5. Stopping the system suggested buffer change during / after the period.**
Administrator 1.1 81
Administrator 53.1 82 1) When a bigger sales are ongoing for some time, after the end of a period / season, but there is no need to keep bigger stock or you will not have time to supplement the items, then you can stop systematic buffer change.
Administrator 1.1 83
Administrator 53.1 84 2) You must specify the date from which the system will begin to monitor the DTA item balance and will suggest to increase or decrease the buffer. After specifying the date and placing a check mark (a check mark indicates that the function is active), the system will not recommend to change the DTA item buffers, which participate in the period until the selected date:
Administrator 41.1 85
Administrator 53.1 86 [[image:44_Buffer.png]]
Administrator 41.1 87
Administrator 53.1 88 **6. The end date of a period shall be used, if any actions have to be taken after the end of the period**.
Administrator 41.1 89
Administrator 53.1 90 [[image:46_BufferDate.png]]
Administrator 1.1 91
Administrator 53.1 92 1) Period without end, i.e the system will execute only start of the period.
Administrator 1.1 93
Administrator 53.1 94 2) As end date, select the date, when the period should end. Buffer change date depends on selected type of start of the period.
Administrator 1.1 95
Administrator 53.1 96 · If in the beginning the buffer is changed the first day of the period, then at the end of the period the buffer decreases on the set end date.
Administrator 41.1 97
Administrator 53.1 98 · If in the beginning the buffer is changed before one supplement period, then the buffer is changed before the order, in the end also, which will not arrive before the end of the promotion.
