Create a demand plan hierarchy
Demand plan process
This document outlines the different process steps and the order in which these actions should be taken.

Note: Hierarchies that are used in a demand plan cannot be maintained.

On this panel you create the hierarchy set that is used for the demand plan. You can also select and sequence the keys that should be used in the hierarchy set. The hierarchies are used to define the different summary levels for a demand plan.

Each hierarchy set can include up to nine hierarchy keys that are retrieved from Work with DIS control keys. You can combine both item and customer related hierarchy keys. At least one item related key must be used for a hierarchy.

Each demand plan must be connected to a hierarchy from this table. Once details have been created for the demand plan you can also connect an alternative hierarchy to the demand plan. This is useful if you want to view the forecast figures from another perspective.

Code: Displays the code and description that identify the selected hierarchy set.

Valid from – to: The dates indicate the period during which the selected hierarchy set is valid for usage.

Item hierarchy keys

Sequence the keys that are to be used in the hierarchy set using the numbers 1-9 where 1 is the highest level. Each level can only be used once in a set. At least one item key must be selected. The following item hierarchy keys are available for sequencing:

Item
Item group
Item family
Item sector
Item planner
Item responsible
Warehouse
Item discount group
Item price group
Item account group
Item category 1-6
