3.5.4.2 Create Distribution Center Capacity Module

I have completed the below task and added the formulas however, i am not sure about the numbers for the 

"Total Beginning Inventory" it seems that i have negative numbers as a result the Percentage Full numbers is not right:

Thus, i had to check again the formulas in INV01 Inventory Ordering and the SYS08:

Could you please support me here or just provide a hint?

    You're super close. Just need a few adjustments

    • Your summary methods should be more aligned with the time hierarchy. inventory uses a beginning or ending balance - see image below
    • Your percentage full calculation you took too literally. Think about how a percentage would apply here. Image below.
    • Your beginning inventory values should be checked in INV01. Make sure you've loaded the right data.

  • Thank you very much Jared! i did not think at all about the Time Hierarchy. Thank you very much for your support!!

    As for the INV01 i checked the formula it looks okay. Then i checked the DAT01 Beginning Inventory and i checked it against the provided file (Beginning+ Inventory.csv) and i can see the same total.
