Understanding EDI Demand Detail Information

After you enter demand header records manually or automatically into the system, you can review and change the EDI detail information as necessary before updating the 40R tables. EDI demand detail information focuses on the line items from an EDI message. Demand detail information includes the values for firm demand (sales orders) and planned demand (forecasts), including customer quantities, customer dates, and the customer purchase order number. Using this information, you can compare releases and perform net change and variance reporting and processing.

From the Work With EDI Demand Detail (W47172A) form, you can access these forms to revise data:

  • EDI Demand Detail Revisions (W47172B)

  • Work with EDI Demand Schedule (W47172C)

  • EDI Demand Address Revisions (W47172G)

  • EDI Demand Supplemental Data Revisions (W47172E)

You can also add attachments to demand detail records.

The system uses these tables for processing EDI demand detail information:

  • F47172

  • F47173

  • F471721
