Daily Item Demand Plan Import
The following screenshot shows a daily item demand plan in the NetSuite user interface, with sublist fields outlined in red. Each week included in the plan is represented by a row in this screenshot. Each row includes seven columns, one for each day of the week.

The preferred format in your CSV file for this sublist data is to include one column for each day, with a heading of Daily Quantity:<date> and the quantity value. For example, columns like the following should be included for the first week of a daily item demand plan:
Daily Quantity: 1/2/2012 |
Daily Quantity: 1/3/2012 |
Daily Quantity: 1/4/2012 |
Daily Quantity: 1/5/2012 |
Daily Quantity: 1/6/2012 |
---|---|---|---|---|
50 |
200 |
100 |
100 |
100 |
Each quantity column corresponds to one day, meaning one sublist instance, for a daily plan.
The following screenshot illustrates how the above columns are automatically mapped in the Import Assistant:
![Daily Item Demand Plan mapping.](img/AccountAdministration/CSVImports/demandplandailymap.png)
-
The View body field is automatically mapped to a value of Daily based on the Daily Quantity keywords in the quantity column headings.
-
A Start Date field for each sublist instance is automatically mapped to the date of the first day of the week based on the date in each quantity column heading.
-
Each sublist Start Date must correspond to the date of the first day of the week based on the company preference set at Setup > Company > General Preferences. The default is Sunday.
-
Up to seven columns may have the same Start Date, and belong to the same sublist instance. In the example above, if a first day of week preference of Sunday is assumed, each quantity has a Start Date value of 1/1/2012.
-
A sublist Start Date may precede the Plan Start Date, if the Plan Start Date is not the first day of the week. For example, if the Plan Start Date is 2/1/2012, which is a Wednesday, and the preference for first day of the week is Sunday, the sublist Start Date would be 1/29/2012.
-
-
A Day of the Week field for each sublist instance is automatically mapped to a day of the week, based on the date in each quantity column heading.
For example, the quantity column with a date of 1/2/2012 is mapped to Monday, 1/3/2012 is mapped to Tuesday, 1/4/2012 is mapped to Wednesday, 1/5/2012 is mapped to Thursday, and 1/6/2012 is mapped to Friday.
-
A Quantity field for each sublist instance is automatically mapped to a Daily Quantity.
-
Sublist End Date fields do not need to be included in CSV files or Import Assistant mappings.
