Order parameters dataset

Order parameters dataset containing planning configuration per product, location, and supplier combination, used by Rebuy & Replenishment for replenishment recommendations.

The order parameters dataset contains planning configuration data for each product, location, and supplier combination. It defines the timing and service assumptions used by the Rebuy & Replenishment capability when calculating inventory parameters and replenishment recommendations.

This dataset plays a critical role in determining how inventory decisions are evaluated over time.

Purpose

The Rebuy & Replenishment capability uses the order parameters dataset to:

  • Understand how frequently inventory is reviewed and replenished
  • Calculate the ordering cycle (also known as the risk period)
  • Evaluate demand volatility over lead times and review periods
  • Support accurate safety stock and replenishment calculations

During presales, this dataset is also used to validate planning assumptions and assess potential inventory improvements.

Usage notes

  • The ordering cycle for a product is calculated as the sum of the lead_time_days and review_period_days.
  • If review_period_days or service_level values are not provided, they may be defined during onboarding or scoping.
  • Identifiers (product_id, location_id, source_id) must align with the corresponding Products, Locations, and Suppliers datasets.
  • This dataset typically changes less frequently than demand or stock data but is critical to planning accuracy.
