The Inventory Policies by Segment page facilitates the customization of inventory policies based on the intersection of ABC and XYZ classifications. For example, high-value items with variable demand may require a different replenishment strategy compared to low-value items with stable demand.
Before you start
Use the right-hand context selector dropdown to select a location.
The Default Inventory Policy per Segment table allows you to view and change the default inventory policies set at the ABC – XYZ intersection. For example, the inventory policy for all the Product-Locations that are categorized as A-X will be set to 14 / 30 days. You can also change the policy to any inventory policy.
You can use the View Settings table to set:
| Value | Description |
| View Years Future | Specify the number of years into the future you want to view the inventory simulations. |
| View Period Type | Specify how the inventory simulation is viewed:
|
The graphs listed below display data based on the inventory policies set in the Default Inventory Policy per Segment table:
- Inventory Value Simulation by Category graph displays the dollar value by ABC categories.
- Inventory Value Simulation by DC graph displays the dollar value by locations (distribution centers).
Additional information
To simulate the effect of changing inventory policies at a macro level, create a scenario with no product-level overrides. Use that scenario to compare policies.
