From Item From Item.
From Location From Location.
To Item To Item.
To Location To Location.
Demand Split Percentage Split percentage if To Location is mapped to more than one From Location. Suppose BWD1 is mapped to SOUTH-WH from two different locations and if these two locations serve half of the total demand to SOUTH-WH. Then Demand Split Percentage is 50.
Lot for Lot When the requirement is generated, it will be generated as per the demand quantity and not in terms of reaching the Max Cover level.
Lead Time Lead time in Days for movement of an item between the two locations.
Qty Per Qty per conversion if there is a difference in From Item and To Item.
Product Valid From From what date replenishment should be created for To Item and To Location.
Product Valid To Till what date replenishment should be created for the To Item and To Location.
Is Final Hierarchy If this is the final node in the supply chain, then it should be defined as True.
Supply Valid From From what date, the From Item and From Location are valid.
Supply Valid To Till what date, the From Item and From Location is valid.
Supply Percentage If there are multiple sources, then in what percentage the supply needs to be split.
Supply Priority This is used for Deployment Planning when Deployment Planning Rule is Priority.

No of Buckets to Replenishment Number of buckets replenishment needs to be generated.
Min Lot Size Min lot size that needs to be considered while generating the requirements.
Max Lot Size Max lot size that needs to be considered while generating the requirements.

Order Time Number of buckets the planned order generated should move earlier.
Safety Stock Minimum safety stock that needs to be considered. Requirements will be generated if the ending on hand goes below the safety stock.
