Overview of Demand Priority Rules

Use demand priority rules to define how orders are prioritized for fulfillment.

A demand priority rule is made up of uniquely ranked demand priority attributes. Demand priority attributes are the various considerations that impact fulfillment, like dates, lead times, customers, and items. You apply one demand priority rule while running the backlog plan, and review the demand fulfillment priorities determined by that plan run. You can specify how demand attributes should be considered when your orders are being prioritized during backlog planning. To review multiple fulfillment options, you can rerun the plan as many times as you want using a different demand priority rule each time.

To manage your demand priority rules in the Backlog Management work area, open the Tasks panel and click the Manage Demand Priority Rules link.
