Global Settings — General
A method of applying a configuration parameter at the system level. Global settings can be used to do the following:
Enable or disable features
Define limits and boundaries to sets of data
Control parameters used during processing
These are a few of the more common global settings that apply to all modules. Contact your Technical Support representative for assistance configuring global settings in your installation of Servigistics.

This global setting is used during the Levels calculation.
Refer to SL_LOW_VOL_VMR_THRESH

Valid values are:
-1
0.025
-1 and 0.0 to 25
Default Value
25
Usage
This global setting is used during the Levels calculation.
If the Average Period Demand is < SL_LOW_VOL_THRESH, then the SKU is considered slow-moving or low volume
If the Average Period Demand is >= SL_LOW_VOL_THRESH then the SKU is considered fast moving or high volume
SL_LOW_VOL_VARIABILITY_CAP 
Description
The variance cap for low volume or slow moving SKUs.
Default Value
9

This global setting is used during the Levels calculation.
Refer to SL_LOW_VOL_VMR_THRESH
SL_LOW_VOL_VMR_THRESH 
Description
The variance to mean ratio cap for low volume SKUs.
If the SKU is low volume or slow moving then Servigistics determines the type of distribution to use in the calculation:
Poisson
Negative Binomial
Valid values are numeric >= 1.0
Default Value
1.1
Usage
This global setting is used during the Levels calculation.
The calculated VMR is compared with the value of the SL_LOW_VOL_VMR_THRESH global setting.
If VMR > SL_LOW_VOL_VMR_THRESH then Negative Binomial is used
If VMR <= SL_LOW_VOL_VMR_THRESH then Poisson is used
Refer to SL_LOW_VOL_VMR_THRESH
