The following options are located in the items planning detail options tab. They are also found in system settings and via the multi-edit settings.

1. Enable classification based service levels?: If checked, assigns the service level desired for each business importance class (A-B-C-D and not assigned) for each item. The classification is recalculated with each new data upload as an option. As items move up or down in class they will adopt the new service level unless an item is assigned a specific class at the item level. This is done when an item is sold to an important customer that does not want to experience a stock out regardless of an items business importance. This setting works with Standard Deviation Safety Stock options only.
2. Service Level: This is the base service level applied to all stocked items unless "Use System Calculated Service Levels" is checked. This setting works with Standard Deviation Safety Stock options only.
3. Safety stock historical time frame: Length of history to use to calculate the standard deviation used in the safety stock calculation.
4. Safety Stock Type:Click to open to select and apply a global safety stock setting.
   1. ERP: Uses the safety stock loaded in the ERP.
   2. Std. Dev.: Uses the weekly standard deviation of demand as the basis of the safety stock calculation.
   3. Customer Minimum: Uses the safety stock as provided by the a customer as a minimum level of inventory. This is applied when vendor managed inventory is implemented.
   4. User Defined: Uses a user defined safety stock value.
   5. Days: Uses a safety stock value calculated as a desired number of days of safety stock to be carried. The days are user defined and the level of safety stock is based on either a historical average or the forward forecasted or total demand value over time span defined. If the forecast or total demand approach is chosen, the safety stock value varies over time. If the "Use Daily Requirement Plan:" setting is enabled in company settings, the value will be based on working days. This means weekends will not be included in the calculation - only working days.
   6. Lead Time: Same as Days Safety Stock except the value is based on a percent of lead time i.e. 50% of lead time.
5. Critical Safety Stock Level: % value that sets the amount of safety stock that may be breached until the next scheduled order before an expedite message is communicated in the planner action. This setting is applicable during the lead time period and beyond the lead time period up until the end of the firm order horizon. The setting is set from 0.1 to 99.9. A setting of 0 or 100 means there is no critical safety stock applied.
