Run Inventory Simulation

A new home for the Coupa Supply Chain documentation

Starting with Supply Chain 42, our documentation will be located on Coupa Compass. The help here will continue to be accessible for the foreseeable future, but will no longer be updated. If you need a Compass user account, contact your company’s Designated Support Contact (DSC).

You can access new and updated Supply Chain documentation in the following location on Compass:

Run Inventory Simulation

In order to run Inventory Simulation, the model scenario you want to run must have been run with Safety Stock Optimization, as Simulation uses data that is populated by Safety Stock Optimization in the Customer Demand Profile, Site Demand Profile and Inventory Policy Summary tables. Coupa also recommends that your Safety Stock Optimization results are up-to-date. Therefore, if you have not recently run Safety Stock Optimization, you may want to re-run it to ensure you have current results.

Inventory Simulation then runs on the selected model scenarios for which Safety Stock Optimization has been run.

You can run standard single-echelon inventory simulation or multi-echelon inventory simulation. To run multi-echeclon inventory simulation, turn on the Run Multi-Echelon Inventory Simulation switch on the Inventory Simulation tab in Inventory Optimization options.
