Analyzing Supply and Demand

Access the Work With Supply and Demand form.

Promise Date

Displays the promised shipment date for either a sales order or a purchase order. The supply and demand programs use this date to calculate Available to Promise information. This value can be automatically calculated during sales order entry. This date represents the day that the item can be shipped from the warehouse.

Demand

Displays the number of units committed for shipment in Sales Order Entry, using either the entered or the primary unit of measure defined for this item.

In the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing system and Work Order Time Entry, this field can indicate completed or scrapped quantities. The quantity type is determined by the type code entered.

Supply

Displays a value that represents the available quantity, which might consist of the on-hand balance minus commitments, reservations, and backorders. You enter this value in the Branch/Plant Constants program (P41001).

Quantity Available

Displays a number that indicates the quantity that is available. For example, the available quantity might consist of the on-hand quantity minus commitments, reservations, and backorders. Availability is user defined. You can set up availability in the Branch/Plant Constants program (P41001).
