Configure Measure Levels for Demand Schedules

You can select dimension levels in the Measure Levels dialog box at which to load measures into a plan. After configuring your measure levels for demand schedules, run your demand plan to generate the forecasts.

Next, run the supply plan and then review the Supplies and Demands table.

You can configure dimension levels for a supply plan or a demand and supply plan from the Planning Central, Supply Planning, or Demand and Supply Planning work area. To access the Measure Levels dialog box, navigate to the Plan Options page, Supply tab, Organizations and Schedules subtab. In the Demand Schedule section, click the Select button in the Measure Levels column.

Note: If the demand schedule type is External or Production, then the Select button under the Measure Levels column isn't available.

In the Measure Levels dialog box, you can configure measure levels for the following dimensions:

Time: The time hierarchy and level choices are based on the planning calendar used for the demand plan. You set the planning calendar on the Plan Options page, Scope tab, in the Plan Parameters section.

If the demand plan uses a hybrid time hierarchy, the available levels are parent levels of the Hybrid time level for the selected hybrid time hierarchy. For a manufacturing hybrid hierarchy, the available levels are Week and Period. For a Gregorian hybrid hierarchy, the available levels are Month, Quarter, and Year. For a fiscal hybrid hierarchy, the available levels are Month, Quarter, and Year.
Demand Class: If you leave the Demand Class level and Customer level blank and select Day for the Time level, then the forecast that comes from the demand schedule into Supply Planning will be aggregated at the item-organization-day level.
Customer: If you want an aggregated forecast by day or month, leave the customer level blank.

If you select the Customer Site level, the forecast for each day is broken down into forecasts for each customer site in the demand plan. For example, you have 20 customer sites for your demand plan and select the Customer Site level and Day for the Time level. You will see 20 forecasts for each day in the Supplies and Demands table.
Organization: The organization hierarchy and level are fixed for the organization dimension. The Enterprise hierarchy only supports the Organization level.
Product: The product hierarchy and level are fixed for the product dimension. The Product hierarchy only supports the Item level.
