In AGR you’ll find several “days cover” metrics—each answering a slightly different question about how long your inventory will last.
Understanding the difference between the calculations will help you get value from the information. This guide shows the difference between the concepts:
Days cover (on hand)
It measures how many days your current inventory will last, assuming no new stock comes in and the current consumption/sales rate continues.
Days cover committed (with undelivered)
Calculates for how many days the stock on hand plus incoming orders will last. The calculation translates units to days based on the sales forecast or the upcoming demand.
Days until stockout
The number of days until the next stockout, considering consumption and lead time.
Days until safety stock
How many days do you have before dropping below your safety stock threshold
Days cover committed on order date
Days Cover Committed at the moment the replenishment order was placed. This value does not change over time, offering transparency into the original planning assumptions.
Days cover committed with order quantity (?)
Calculates how many days of coverage you will have once the open orders arrive, combining current uncommitted inventory and the incoming order quantity.
sometimes the Days Cover committed on order date and Days cover committed with order quantity will differ even though the order quantity is zero.
That will only happen, if an undelivered order is to arrive outside the order period, and a setting option called "Include undelivered in order calculation" that is outside the order period is enabled
