Click to jump to parent topicDemand Scheduling Overview

You use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Scheduling system (40R) to manage requirements for shipment and production schedules between customers and suppliers. Firm or planned demand requirements enable you to receive, interpret, or validate, net order information for shipments, and to automatically communicate shipment details to the supplier or customer.

The system interprets and receives information using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) documents that are transmitted from customers to suppliers, and then populates the appropriate demand scheduling tables to create records within sales orders, and forecasts. You set up the demand scheduling system to manage all of this information.

Typically, forecasted schedules are transmitted from the manufacturer or distributor to the supplier to cover a future period of time and are formatted as a series of year-to-date cumulative totals. You can use this information for forecasting and planning when ordering parts and materials in high volume supply chains.
