Related topics

Data can be imported from different sources, for example an inbound delivery schedule, in order to create a demand plan based on the imported details. The details are identified by import ID’s. The following describes how to create an import ID.

  1. Select the Work with imports for demand plan menu item.
  2. On the initial panel, click Add.
  3. On the Work with import for demand plan detail panel, complete the following fields:
    4. Import ID
    Enter a code to identify the import ID.
    Description
    Enter a description of the import ID.
    Period type
    Indicate what period the demand plan should be based on. Valid codes are:
    Code Description
    1 Week
    2 Month
    3 Day
    Note: This period type is only valid for demand plans of type 2 (Promotion).
    Customer
    Enter the customer of the demand plan that is to be created based on this import ID.
    Update IC
    By default this field is set to YES indicating that the IC forecast should be updated with the imported details when you run IC calculations. The field can be changed.

    Note: This field controls if a demand plan based on the actual import ID may be activated or not. The reason for not allowing a demand plan based on imported data to be activated is to prevent the IC forecast to be affected by the same quantity twice. This may happen if the import ID is based on a delivery schedule from a customer that has Include in forecast set to YES in the DI document DELFOR (in the Business partner file/DI documents).

    Click OK. The other fields on the panel are automatically completed. Exit the routine.
