Demand Management

Filter Tables by Configure-to-Order Model

Store Plan Data at Aggregate Time Levels

Store the demand signal data at aggregate time levels, such as week or month, and avoid disaggregating to the daily level for forecasting.

Forecast and Consume Internal Orders

Model transfer orders as independent demand. You can model transfer orders as independent demand during the forecasting and forecast consumption processes when only the source location, not the destination location, needs to be planned.

Update Planning Table Data for Supply Chain Plans Using a REST Service
