System Impact
The reduction in statistical expected backorder due to the order recommendation multiplied by the lead time. The System Impact can be used to the rank the orders for review. The higher the number, the higher the business risk. Calculated as:
For ASL SKUs
((Expected Backorder with Current Inventory Position) - (Expected Backorder with Inventory Position Including this Order)) * Lead Time
For Non-ASL SKUs
Recommended Order Quantity * Lead Time
* 
If MEO/SIO is not enabled and the Stock Level process is used, then System Impact = Recommended Order Quantity.
The precision of the System Impact field may not display the exact value that is stored in the database due to the System Impact field being rounded to one decimal place. Therefore records may not be filtered correctly if = is used as the operator, as the values may not match due to rounding. Therefore, it is recommended to use > or < instead of =.
