Common Elements Used in Demantra

Item/Product Forecasts

Select a value that determines the nature of the forecast. If you select Item, the system sets the Item Code field to INV_ITEM_ID and the Organization field to BUSINESS_UNIT_IN. If you select Product the system sets the Item Code field to PRODUCT_ID and the Organization field to BUSINESS_UNIT_OM.

Publish Name

Enter or select a label that other applications use to identify the publish activity. The name is a logical name that you can use to publish a forecast again and again. When you import forecasts, you can select which name you want to use to populate publish forecast tables. The system uses this field, along with a forecast publish date, to create a unique publish instance that other applications use to retrieve the published data.

Map ID

Select or enter a map ID. You use map IDs to map data fields from PeopleSoft to Demantra Demand Management flat files. During the demand export and forecast import processes, the system uses the map ID to identify what data to export and to validate the data that is being imported.
