When performing 'Create items' to calculate average issues per month and standard deviation, the system in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management includes inventory transactions with the status Deducted and sold in the Issue status. Goods in transit records that are sold to the transit warehouse are included in this calculation
The inclusion of goods in transit in safety stock calculations is by-design in Dynamics 365. Safety stock is calculated using all historical issue transactions, which includes both external usage and internal inventory movements (such as goods in transit). The calculation logic is built to consider all inventory movements, including goods in transit.
Currently, there is no native configuration to exclude goods in transit from these calculations.
The issue is that an inbound transaction is used when calculating safety stock. In real life that will mean to big safety levels, higher inventory value and potential lots of stock getting scrapped because there is no usage for it.
Appreciate if we can get this fixed by Microsoft.
