Introduction

The RTSM Parameters table is an optional table that can be used to define site buffer levels by period. This table will only be used when the Site Resupply Logic is set to either ‘Buffer’ or ‘Buffer + Prediction’ in the Supply Configuration table.

Note: When Resupply Settings are not defined or if they are defined as ‘Prancer RTSM’ then the settings in this table will not be considered.

The mandatory columns in this table are Period Start Date, Site Group Code, and Dispensing Unit. The Floor and Ceiling columns are both optional but the table is non-functional if neither is included.

RTSM Parameters Table

Example

RTSM Parameters

Period Start Date

Defines the start date of each floor/ceiling setting. Must be a valid date. If an invalid entry is made, a warning message is shown.

Site Group Code

Defines the site group to which the floor/ceiling settings apply. Must be a valid site group code, or a list of site group codes separated by commas, as defined in a Site Groups table. If an invalid site group code is used it will be ignored and a warning message will be displayed in the interpreter log.

Dispensing Unit

Defines the dispensing unit that the floor/ceiling settings apply to. Must be a dispensing unit code as defined in a Dispensing Units table.

Initial

Defines the quantity (number of kits) which will be sent to sites in the defined site group in the initial shipment.

Floor

The floor value defines the minimum quantity of dispensing units (i.e., buffer) to be kept at sites in the defined site group.

Ceiling

The ceiling value defines the maximum quantity of dispensing units (i.e., buffer) to be kept at sites in the defined site group.
