Supply Demand Window

The Supply/Demand window displays information about supplies and demands and shows pegging information.

View the Supply/Demand Window

You can navigate to the Supply/Demand window from various node types such as items, organizations, plans, departments, and planning groups in the Navigator. In addition to the Navigator, you can also drill down to the Supply/Demand window from other windows such as the Vertical Plan window.

If you request this window from the Exception Details window, it displays supply information, demand information, or both types of information based on the exception type. For example, if the exception message is Demand satisfied using end item substitution, the Supply/Demand window displays demand information only.

To display the Supply/Demand window

  1. Select one or more nodes (using Ctrl-click) in the Navigator.

  2. Select [right-click] > Supply/Demand.

    The Supply/Demand pop-up menu displays the following options:

  3. To display the Supply/Demand window, click Supply/Demand.

    Supply/Demand window has five tabbed regions:

    Each tabbed region displays fixed fields:

    While each tabbed region shows different variable fields, you can access all of the Supply/Demand window variable fields using the Orders tab folder function.

Supply/Demand Window Notes

Internal Requisitions and Sales Orders

If you cancel an internal requisition and do not cancel the corresponding internal sales order, Planner Workbench:

Safety Stock

To analyze how the planning engine has planned to meet safety stock levels, select the supply and analyze the pegging details. The pegs between a transient safety stock level and supplies peg with supply quantity zero. This is because the supply pegs to a demand after the safety stock level expires; the peg to the demand has the quantity. The pegs between a non-transient safety stock level and supplies peg with quantities that meet the safety stock level. To understand safety stock pegging, see Safety Stock Pegging in Pegging.
