Using the Inventory Optimization configuration file
Safety Stock Optimization can make use of an optional configuration file that sets parameters used to control solver behavior. When you run Safety Stock Optimization, parameters are written to the Params.dat file in the SSO run folder by default. If you want to override these values, you can create a Config.dat file by including parameters in the Config_IO table. Parameters defined in Config.dat will provide additional constraints or override the settings in Params.dat if applicable.
Parameters Supported in Config_IO
The following table lists the parameters that are supported in the Config_IO user defined table. Note that Coupa may provide additional parameters as needed. You can use these parameters by setting the Status to "Include" and setting the Parameter Value as needed.
| Parameters Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ForceLP | 0 | When this parameter is set to 1, only the LP solver is used. |
| Print_network | 0 | When this parameter is set to 1, the sub-model networks are printed when the model is run. |
| VerboseMode | 0 | When this parameter is set to 1, detailed information in printed when the model is run. |
| ScaleWorkWeekLeadTime | 0 | When this parameter is set to 1, the work week lead times in the model are scaled to accurately capture the risk period in the supply chain. |
| InventoryPolicyOverride | R Q Policy | Use this parameter to set the inventory policy for all Site-Product combinations. This can be one of R Q Policy, s S Policy, T S Policy, BaseStock Policy. |
| Q1_All | 0 | When this parameter is set to 1, all minimum order size (Q) is set to 1. |
| Q1_Demand_Propagation | 0 | When this parameter is set to 1, batchsize=1 is used for all demand propagation. |
| DBR_Demand_Propagation | 0 | When this parameter is set to 1, DBR (replenishment frequency) is used in demand series propagation. |
| NormalDistributionOnly | 0 | When this parameter is set to 1, all demands are treated as normal distributions. |
| SupportCrossPeriod | 0 | When this parameter is set to 1, cross-period lead time is supported. |
