One characteristic of service parts planning is the huge number of products and locations. In order to reduce inventory and warehouse costs not all products are kept in all locations. The decision whether a product is stored in a location depends on the demand and on the costs for the products. The decision is recorded in the authorised stocking list (ASL). The function of the ASL is modelled in SAP APO™ by the replenishment indicator, see next section. There is however no standard report to display the replenishment indicator for multiple products.
