Running the EDI Inbound Demand Edit/Update Report (R47171)

From the EDI Inbound menu (G40R11), select Inbound Demand UBE.

You run the EDI Inbound Demand Edit/Update batch program to update the demand and cumulative tables with EDI information. This process is useful for comparing a supplier and customer's cumulative quantities. Updating the cumulative and demand tables consists of these steps:

  1. Validating this information in the F47171 table:

    • Branch/Plant

    • Sold To

    • Ship To

  2. Validating this information in the F47172 and F47173 tables:

    • Item

    • Demand Header

    • Demand Processing Cross Reference

  3. Launching a workflow process that executes multiple customer specific business processes.

  4. Updating the CUM and demand tables with the values from the EDI (47) tables.

You can also run this program from the Inbound Flat File Conversion program (R47002C) after loading EDI demand data into the EDI database tables.
