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:

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