Start New Demand Collaboration Cycle

Use the Start New Demand Collaboration Cycle scheduled process to start a new demand collaboration cycle for those measures that don't participate in expiration for the specified collaboration object in Supply Chain Collaboration.

When to Use

Use this process to reset receipt metric cards on the overview page.

Also use the process in conjunction with your expected incoming customer consumption data timing. For example, if you receive new customer consumption for all customers each week starting on Monday, you can schedule the process to run every Sunday at 11:59 in the evening. This lets you track the customers that have sent new consumption data from the date the process ran for the selected collaboration document, document measure, and customer.

Privileges Required
