5 Working with Manually Created Demand Header Records

This chapter contains the following topics:

5.1 Understanding Manually Created Demand Header Records

Typically, information for demand records is created automatically using electronic data interchange (EDI). You can also create demand header records manually and use the Work with Demand Header for to locate existing demand records to revise or delete entries. You can view information that relates to a specific customer, such as cumulative information, dates, times, and attachments.

You can also navigate among the various demand maintenance forms and applications, including:

  • Work With Demand Detail (W40R10D).

  • CUM Maintenance (P40R12).

  • Demand History (P40R41).

  • Demand Addresses (P40R14).

  • Supplemental Data (P00092).


Note:

If a header record does not exist, the system automatically creates a demand header record when you create a demand detail record.

When creating a demand header record, you can add demand header attachments. To do so, select Header Attachment from the Form menu. You can also specify in the Demand Header Attachments processing option whether to automatically display the Media Objects form when creating records.


5.2 Manually Creating Demand Header Records

This section lists the prerequisites, forms, and discusses how to manually create demand header records.

5.2.4 Manually Creating Demand Header Records

Access the Demand Header Revisions form.

Figure 5-1 Demand Header Revisions form

Description of Figure 5-1 follows
Description of ''Figure 5-1 Demand Header Revisions form''

Customer Item Number

(Optional). Enter the cross-reference item number that the system assigns to an item number. A cross-reference number enables you to use a supplier's item number if it is different from the item number when you are processing an order or printing. You set up this number in the Item Cross Reference program (P4104).

Default Customer PO (default customer purchase order)

(Optional). Enter a number that represents the default customer purchase order that the system uses in demand detail records when a customer purchase order has not been entered. The system also uses this number as a reference to the sales order or blanket sales order.

Default Item Revision

(Optional). Enter a number that the system retrieves from the EDI transaction set or message. This revision level is based on the revision level for the item that is set up in the F4101 table. You can enter this number manually.

Vendor Part Number

(Optional). Enter a number that identifies the vendor's part and is typically sent by the customer in an EDI message.

Last Shipment ID (last shipment identification)

(Optional). Enter the number that identifies the last shipment that the customer has received.

Round to Standard Pack Firm

Select this option to specify whether the system rounds up firm quantities to the pack quantity for a standard carton. For example, assume that you have selected this option. If a customer whose standard pack quantity is a carton of 500 items requests a reduced shipment of 475 items, then the supplier must still ship 500 items.

You can set up an advanced preference to specify whether this option is activated by default when the system automatically creates a demand header record. You set this up using the Advanced Preferences Name Revisions program (P4071).

Round to Standard Pack Plan

Select this option to specify whether the system rounds up plan quantities to a standard carton pack quantity. For example, if a customer's standard pack requirement is 500, and they request a shipment of 475, the supplier must ship 500. If you leave this option blank, the system does not round up firm quantities to a standard carton pack quantity.

You can set up an advanced preference to specify whether this option is activated by default when the system is automatically creating a demand header record. You set this up using the Advanced Preferences Name Revisions program (P4071).

5.3 Revising Demand Detail Records

This section provides an overview of and discusses demand detail records and label information.

  • Add demand detail information.

  • Revise shipment details.

  • Revise EDI information for demand details.

  • Revise miscellaneous demand detail information.

  • Revise destination information.

  • Revise pull signal information.

  • Revise category codes for demand details.

5.3.1 Understanding Demand Detail Records

After demand header records are entered manually into the system, or automatically through electronic data interchange (EDI), you can review and change the detail information as necessary. Demand detail information includes the values for firm demand (sales orders) and planned demand (forecasts), including quantities, dates, and the customer purchase order number. Using this information, you can compare releases and perform net change and variance reporting and processing.

You differentiate demand detail records from each other based on the combinations of the Requested Ship Date, Requested Ship Time, Customer PO, Demand Processing, Demand Period, Pull Signal, Job Number, and Job Sequence Number fields:

Requested Shipment Date Requested Shipment Time Demand Type Demand Period Quantity
07/05 00:00:00 Firm Daily 500
07/05 00:00:00 Plan Weekly 2500
07/05 00:00:00 Plan Monthly 15000

If a demand header record does not exist, the system automatically creates one when you create a demand detail record.

From the Demand Detail Revisions form, you can access these demand maintenance forms and applications:

  • Demand Maintenance (P40R10)

  • CUM Maintenance (P40R12)

  • Demand History (P40R41)

  • Demand Addresses (P40R14)

  • Demand Packaging (P40R13)

  • Label Data Submitted (W40R10F)

  • Detail Attachments

The system uses these tables when processing demand records:

  • F40R10

  • F40R11

  • F40R13

  • F40R14

  • F40R143

  • F40R141

  • F40R142

  • F40R41

  • F00092

5.3.2 Understanding Label Information

When you submit label information, the system retrieves outbound label information for a demand detail row. Shipment information is retrieved if a sales order has been created for the demand and assigned to a shipment.

The system uses the F40R11 table for processing label information.

  • Demand contact phone information.

5.4.1 Understanding Address and Contact Information for Demand Records

You can enter address book and contact information that is unique to demand scheduling, and store this information at the demand header or detail level. You use these addresses to represent different types of parties. For example, a demand address can represent a buyer, a seller, a carrier, an expediter, or transit principal.

For each demand address you enter, you can add contact information, such as a contact person or general office expediter, and telephone contact information.


Note:

In the Demand Maintenance (P40R10) processing options, you can use the Demand Header Addresses and the Demand Detail Addresses processing options on the Process tab to specify whether to automatically display the Demand Header Address or the Demand Detail Addresses forms when adding a demand header or detail record.

The system stores demand address and contact information in the F40R14 table. You can also cross-reference common addresses, such as plants or customer numbers, with the Address Book system, as applicable.
